<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good day you all, as head of the policy committee of NPOC, <span> </span>I will like to introduce you to ways to get
about involved into the policy development <span> </span>processes (PDP) of ICANN especially within <span> </span>the Generic Names Supporting Organization(GNSO).<span> </span>Your first starting point should be the GNSO
Info page, you should focus on two sections I will suggest in your learning curve
which is the GNSO working Group members and Newcomers link is <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-efforts.htm#newcomers">https://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-efforts.htm#newcomers</a></p>

strongly relevant to our mission as NPOC and I will focus on as Chair of the
