much attention and time given to develop its foundation as an
organization. That work is almost completed and I would ask for your
vote to continue with the work.</span></span></font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)">As
the current Chair, I am proud to lead the Executive on a consultative
basis, ensuring that the decisions were reflective of everyone's
input and garnering agreement through consensus. This approach has
lead to an NPOC team, that has collaborated and strategize to
accomplish the numerous tasks that initiated, including: a rebranding
initiative to create a new logo that involved the membership, clearly
defining the meaning and issues of operational concerns, create
marketing materials, including a Beginner's Guide to NPOC, a
collaborative project with the Onboarding Program, updating the
Charter, developing on a new website. All this while Executive
members work on the conference calls, working groups, policy
development process and attending ICANN meetings</span><br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)">NPOC
has also collaborated with NCUC on a number of events, and will
continue to work together to strengthen the NCSG and joint develop
policy comments.</span><br></p>
