>>> very tricky! (Suggestion: read NPOC Beginners Guide
>>> <https://www.npoc.org/about/what-is-npoc/beginners-guide-to-npoc/>)
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 3. Learn about the policy-making process: Understand how to help create

>>> discussions; or at the ICANN Meetings that take place three times every
>>> year (Suggestion: Watch Policy Development Process Video
>>> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPS_0Ut2FRk&list=PLQziMT9GXafXm-5MHQ5YIcRNy5rdUCRhS&index=1>
>>> ]

>>> 4. Get to know the other non-for-profits members of NPOC: You never
>>> know what opportunities for collaboration and conversation exist. (See our
>>> Members <https://npoc.org/our-membership/>)
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 5. Understand the ICANN complex structure: start by checking the organizational
>>> structure <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/chart-2012-02-11-en> for
