<div><br></div><div>This month's NCSG Open Policy Meeting is a little "special" because we are devoting the first hour to a big picture discussion on the important substantive policy issues facing noncommercial users at ICANN in the coming months, so your participation and input on this issue would be especially appreciated. If you can't phone in for the meeting, please post your thoughts to this list. Wendy Seltzer has already gotten the ball rolling on this conversation and we've begun to collect the issues on the NCSG wiki:</div>
