<div>Dear all,</div><div><font><br></font></div><div>Yesterday the NCUC hosted a very successful thematic workshop at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) which brought into the public arena discussions around what hinders new voices from participating in Internet governance debates, particularly in the global south. Contributing to the rich discussion were panelists from across the ICANN community, including three NCUC members, who all greatly appreciated the opportunity to participate and to be present with us. </div><div><font><br></font></div><div>If you were not able to participate in this session, the Geneva Internet Platform and fellow NCUC member Michael Oghia have produced a wonderful summary of some of the key inputs which were harvested.
