Dear NPOC Members, I’m excited to share that NPOC has published a new blog post titled *“CROP Report for ICANN83: A First-Time In-Person Attendance Experience”* by Yao Amevi Amessinou Sossou. It’s now live on our NPOC website <https://npoc.org/crop-report-for-icann83-a-first-time-in-person-attendance-e...> . In this reflective piece, Yao captures the energy, insights, and key discussions from ICANN83 in Prague while highlighting topics such as youth engagement (Youth IGF Benin), the next gTLD Applicant Guidebook, DNS abuse, multistakeholder governance, and regional leadership initiatives from Africa. The full blog post offers both personal reflections and actionable recommendations for our constituency.
