>> As you are aware, Non-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC),
>> is the home for not-for-profits which have a domain name and want to
>> participate in the making of policy that influences the current internet
>> infrastructure.
>>
>>
>>
>> As the Membership Committee Chair, I am happy to provide any necessary
>> help for our new and old members to become fully engaged within our
>> Constituency and our Stakeholder Group to facilitate the onboarding process
>> into our community - and you will find many members willing to do the same!
>>
>>
>>
>> To better understand how to do that, you need to first understand ICANN´s
>> complex structure. As you already know from the application
>> process, NPOC is part of the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG), which
>> means that we represent the non-commercial interests of the internet
>> community. Specifically, those of non-for-profits.
>>
>>
>>
>> We believe that non-for-profits have to play a central role in creating,
>> discussing, and reviewing top-level domain names policy and so have
>> outlined some key steps you can take to familiarize yourself with the
>> process and get involved:
>>
>>
>>
>> 1. Understand what a domain name is: Learn more about the domain name
>> system (DNS) and the problems, challenges, and opportunities they bring to
>> the operation of organizations like yours. (Suggestion: read the Beginners
>> Guides
>> <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/beginners-guides-2012-03-06-en>)
>>
>>
>>
>> 2. Read the NPOC toolkit: Learn more about NPOC's work within ICANN,
>> the NPOC structure, current working groups, the role of the NPOC Executive
>> Committee (ExCom), including a glossary of acronyms, which we know can be
>> 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
>> and review policy, via the online working groups, public comments and open
>> 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
>> more information about the ICANN hierarchy, then go through ICANN
>> free-of-charge certified courses, available on ICANN Learn
>> <https://learn.icann.org/#/catalog>.
