Hello everyone,

I am sharing this and I think that is good opportunity to learn more about policy-making process and in particular on how to be involved on ICANN working groups when you are newcomer to ICANN world.

there will be several sessions. it started as pilot session and it was definitely successful.
I would encourage those who made  a year resolution to be more involved within NCSG or just joined us to attend that open session and get insight about GNSO working group, procedures and process and being in the board quickly.
In addition to that, the officers and NCSG active members in the different working group will for sure provide assistance, support and answer your questions .

Please find more details below.

Best Regards,

Rafik
