Hi,

below you will find the information about the monthly GNSO working Group
newcomer overview. The next will be held the 5th June.
it is an opportunity for any member who want to be more involved in policy
discussion and represent non-commercial interests in GNSO working group.

Participating in ICANN can be sometimes intimidating with the flood of
acronyms, talk about processes but such sessions can make things more clear
and explain how policies are developed. if you have any question , please
feel free to contact me .

Reminder: Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session

These ongoing monthly sessions are for new GNSO WG participants to come
together and discuss any questions they may have about GNSO Working Groups,
procedures and/or processes. We know there is a lot of information to
digest when you join a GNSO Working Group and these monthly meetings are an
opportunity for newcomers and more experienced participants to meet in an
informal setting without the pressure of “real work” that needs be done.

The agenda is flexible.  The presenters will be ready with a standard set
of materials if people would like to discuss them.  Feel free to submit
questions, either in advance or at the beginning of the meeting, if there
is a topic that you would like to explore in more depth .  Providing useful
answers to a wide range of questions is part of the reason why these
meetings are


Thursday 5 June at 12.00 UTC

you already have, or any overviews or introductions you think would be
