We have a lot of members who have things big and small to say about ICANN and Internet governance, and it’d be great to have them share their views with colleagues in this more lasting format rather than in just fleeting email discussions. The blog space is very much open to newbies, veterans, and everyone in between. Contributions could be a couple paragraphs or a couple pages, whatever you have the time and inclination to contribute. If you’ve got an idea you'd like to explore, just drop me or any of the EC members a line and we’ll follow up with you.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 29, 2015, at 7:25 PM, Milan, Stefania <<a href="mailto:Stefania.Milan@EUI.eu" class="">Stefania.Milan@EUI.eu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">Dear NCUCers<br class=""><br class="">we are happy to announce the creation of our new Members' Blog [1]!
