Dear all,
(apologies for cross posting)
Please see below an announcement below from ICANN's nominating
committee.
They are seeking to fill leadership positions with people
with skills and interest in multi stakeholder policy
development as well as internet governance in general. For
example, the At Large Committee (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.
Would be great if we could get more of us involved!
best
Alice
