Welcome our new NPOC Members
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-5MHQ5YIcRNy5...> ] 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>.
