Dear colleagues,</p>
<p style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;margin:0px">

I am happy to announce a project on which me and my colleagues in the EC have been working on for the last few months together with ICANN staff:
<b>a series of webinars dedicated to NPOC members</b>, aimed at increasing our know-how and knowledge on DNS Operational Concerns. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;margin:0px">

<p style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;margin:0px">
The series is aimed at NPOC members and not-for-profit organizations interested in gaining a better understanding of the DNS and how to responsibly and securely manage domain names. Topics will include how the DNS is managed and organized, the steps organizations
and individuals should take to manage and protect their domain names, and how and why they can participate in ICANN policy processes. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;margin:0px">

<p style="color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;margin:0px">
The webinars are targeted at newcomers in this area, but will also serve as a refresher for experienced NPOC members, so we invite everyone to attend, as this is a unique opportunity, as you can also ask questions and bring up your interests and concerns as
not-for-profit organizations. There will be a <b>certificate of completion </b>for those that will attend all webinars.</p>
