Thank you Stefania,

That's fantastic news. I can tell from talking with a few new members and from initial membership engagement survey results that such a platform is going to help a lot!

Sincerely,

Walid Al-Saqaf

Dear NCUCers

we are happy to announce the creation of our new Members' Blog [1]! The blog, hosted in the NCUC website, is open to all members who have something to share with the community.

The first entry, entitled 'Inside an ICANN meeting: My experience' [2], is brought to you by Benjamin Akinmoyeje, who was awarded a NCUC travel grant to participate to the ICANN 52 meeting in Singapore, in February 2015.

Ben is an ICTD & IT Manager working with Management Sciences for Health in Abuja, Nigeria, where he operates the MSH IdeaLab, a platform for Internet Governance for Development. His blog post summarizes five of the many sessions he attended in Singapore, and is an excellent way to discover the 'behind the scenes' of an ICANN meeting.

We encourage everyone to consider writing a piece for the blog! Drop a line to NCUC Bill Drake to discuss your ideas.

Best, Stefania
