<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>
