Dear all, <br>
<br>
(apologies for cross posting)<br>
<br>
Please see below an announcement below from ICANN's nominating
committee. <br>
<br>
They are seeking to fill leadership positions <span
style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">with people
with skills and interest in multi stakeholder policy
development as well as internet governance in general. For
example, the At Large Committee (</span></span>ALAC) would be a
very interesting entry point for people interested in a broad range
of issues, ccNSO (Country Code Names Supporting Organization) works
mainly on (country code top level domains) ccTLDs, while the
gNSO focuses on policy development for generic names. <br>
<br>
Would be great if we could get more of us involved!<br>
<br>
best<br>
<br>
