In that spirit, I fully support the nominations so far and for the role of Policy Chair, i fully support Yao. As someone I’ve had the pleasure to mentor, he has shown the drive and capacity to carry this work forward with excellence. At the same time, I have accepted the nomination to serve on the Council.

From Lyon to Lomé, 850 reasons made this my most unforgettable ICANN experience.
by Emmanuel Vitus April 25, 2025

April 25, 2025

Dear all, Last week, I spent my holidays in Lomé, Togo, with the Internet Society Chapter (ISOC Togo), a proud NPOC member organization, to help organize what was likely the largest Universal Acceptance (UA) Day event to date. And I must say, this might just be the most rewarding experience I have had since joining the ICANN community. We gathered at the École Polytechnique of the University of Lomé, where we had initially planned to host around 50 participants. But the response was overwhelming. To accommodate the unexpected turnout, we regrouped the event across 2 separate amphitheaters. One was set up for onsite participants and the other enabled hybrid participation, allowing us to successfully engage over 850 bachelor and master’s students, including 300 onsite and 550 online. We were joined by 35 lecturers, including 22 full professors in computer science and related fields. The energy, curiosity, and level of engagement from both students and faculty were truly inspiring. Spending a day with ICANN staff, including Yaovi Atohun who joined us in person and Nabil Benamar who participated virtually from Morocco, brought immense value to the program. The sessions were highly interactive, covering both awareness on Universal Acceptance and hands-on technical training and configuration exercises. The results were powerful and immediate. A total of 223 new members joined the ISOC chapter that day, the largest single-day recruitment since 2001. 79% of participants expressed strong interest in joining ICANN and UA-related working groups. This experience reminded me why we do what we do. Togo, a small country with over 42 local languages, where only French is currently supported under the Latin Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ LGR), was at the heart of a moment of deep pride. I am convinced that in 5 to 10 years, these young people will achieve what many in my generation never dared to attempt. For those wondering where Togo is located, it is a beautiful West African country, a former German then French colony, nestled between Ghana and Benin, and known for its peaceful coastline and white sand beaches. I also realized something personal. Sharing knowledge is far more fulfilling than my 8 to 5 routine back in France. That was my honest reflection. And one last exciting note. The University of Lomé has officially expressed interest in integrating Universal Acceptance into its academic curriculum. This could be a real game-changer for sustainable capacity building in the region. That was how the ICANN UA Day 3000 USD grant was spent :) See the hopeful faces and the energy of the day via this album <https://www.flickr.com/photos/201552796@N05/albums/72177720325123386/> Warm regards, *Emmanuel Vitus, **NPOC Policy Chair*

Welcome our new NPOC Members
by Caleb Ogundele March 31, 2025

March 31, 2025

Dear NPOC Members, On behalf of the NPOC Executive Committee, Please welcome our new NPOC Members *Organization Members:* - Aspire Hub, B. Olotu - Inter-Planetary Sustainability and Climate Change Foundation, Vishal Konapala As you are aware, Non-for-Profit Organisational 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 Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, 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-5MHQ5YIcRNy…> ] 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>.
