IDNs EPDP Phase 2 Draft initial report - Request for review
by Emmanuel Vitus April 8, 2024

April 8, 2024

Dear all, As the NCSG representative to the IDNs EPDP, I am reaching out for your feedback on the proposed Phase 2 draft initial report. I encourage you to quickly go through the document and share any comments you might have. Additionally, like in previous instances, there will be a 40-day period during which you can submit formal comments on any contentious issues or seek clarifications, particularly from the non-commercial or not-for-profit perspectives. The document is scheduled to be forwarded to the leadership *by the end of business tomorrow. * Personally, I have not identified any concerns within the discussion or recommendations we have worked on. However, there could be nuances or issues I've overlooked, so I urge you to review the document and share your thoughts. Please be aware that the leadership team has not had a chance to thoroughly examine the report, as it has just been released. They will be reviewing it in parallel with this feedback process due to time constraints. The initial report is set to be published for public comment on April 11, 2024. Kind regards, Emmanuel

Welcoming our New NPOC Members
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele March 28, 2024

March 28, 2024

Dear NPOC Members, On behalf of the NPOC Executive Committee, Please join me in welcoming our new members below. *Organizational Members:* Youth IGF Benin (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) ONG Women Be Free (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) Internet Society Zambia Chapter (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) Technology Media Guild Bangladesh (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) Global Partners Digital (NCSG) Internet Society Togo (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) Nigerian Network Operators Group (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) Nigerian Peering and Interconnection Forum (NCSG, NCUC, NPOC) FGI Benin (NCSG, NPOC) ISOC Burundi (NCSG, NPOC) ISOC Somalia (NCSG, NPOC) As you are aware, Non-for-Profit Organiszational 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-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>. We also encourage you to follow our activity online: - NPOC website: www.npoc.org - NPOC DISCUSS list: https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/npoc-discuss - NPOC Twitter: @NPOC_ICANN - Follow us and stay tuned! - NPOC Wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/txAQAg Besides this, here are a list of other resources which may be useful: - ICANN acronyms: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/glossary-2014-02-03-en[icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> - How to get involved: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/How+To+Get+Involved[com… <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di…> - List of working groups and their members: - https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Getting+Involved+in+Wor… <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di…> - Policy comments and statements: - https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Policy+Development[comm… <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di…> - A one-stop page about ICANN's policy efforts: - http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-… <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gnso.icann.org_sites_gn…> - To catch up with ongoing discussion see the mailing list archive: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/npoc-discuss/ I know that this can be overwhelming, so allow me to invite you to a short introductory discussion or our next membership meeting when the call is announced, where you can ask all your questions and discuss how you can get involved.
