Dear NPOC members, I wanted to warmly welcome our new board for the term 2021-22 and especially our new active members, Gloria, who is taking on the big chair of our Policy Committee, and Adisa who will be communicating the will of NPOC far and wide, but especially to our members. Caleb will be handling all of our members' queries, as well as vetting membership applications with Adisa at the NCSG EC. Emmanuel and me will be facilitating meetings, voting and other events that keep the community engaged. I would like to float the idea that our members could join us in future EC meetings - we're not too many to open the EC meetings to all of our members. What do you guys think? Let me finish by encouraging you to engage with the NPOC community and asking the EC members for advice to help you contribute into the ICANN policy development process. Let's make this winter count for NPOC and its members! -Raoul
