Hi all ! Welcome to the newcomers. Well done Yolanda and all ! Warm regards -Olévié- 2017-02-27 16:31 GMT+00:00 Ayden Férdeline <[log in to unmask]>: > Hello and welcome to all new members! > > If you are new to the ICANN community, it can be hard to stay abreast of > all the topics and working groups that the community is dealing with. That > said, I find the Policy Update webinars which ICANN staff run thrice per > year to be a great aid in trying to do just that. The next webinar is > scheduled for Monday, 6 March at 10:00 UTC and repeated at 19:00 UTC. More > information on these webinars is here > <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-02-27-en>. My suggestion > would be to listen in to the webinar, see what topics interest you, and > know you're welcome to get involved.
