              <br>
              For a newcomer to NCs, I wonder if there is something like
              a guide to<br>
              choosing working groups or a list of GNSO Working Groups
              which are<br>
              open.<br>
              I`m digging on ICANN`s site but it is always a bulk of
              information and<br>
              I wonder what people use most or which area.<br>
              <br>
              Thanks<br>
