<div dir="ltr"><div><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Dear Members, </p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">I am adding my voice to encourage everyone to kindly help share and circulate this upcoming quarterly webinar by the NCUC within your networks and communities to help us reach a wider Internet and digital policy audience, especially civil society, the technical community, academia, youth groups, and non-commercial stakeholders. The webinar on “Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Advocacy and Non-Commercial Interest in the Internet” presents an important opportunity to discuss the intersection of FOSS, Internet governance, open standards, DNS policy, and the protection of non-commercial interests online. <br><br></p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Your support in amplifying this session will be highly appreciated and will help broaden participation and engagement across the global Internet community. Thank you all for your continued support and collaboration. </p></div><div> </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font><b>Wisdom Donkor</b> </font><font size="1">(CASP+, CISM, CEH </font><span style="font-size:x-small">Certified,</span><span style="font-size:x-small">)</span></div><div style=""><font size="1">NCUC, Chair</font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font size="1">Tel: +233 20 812 8851</font></div><div style="font-size:small"><font size="1">Skype: wisdom_dk | Facebook: kwasi wisdom | Twitter: @wisdom_dk </font></div><div><div style="font-size:small"><font size="1">_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</font></div><div><font size="1"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">ICANN GNSO Council Member |</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"> ICANN</span> transfer policy review working group Member | <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"> Improvement (CCOICI)</span> | UN IGF MAG Member | IGF Support Fund Association Executive Committee Member, World Bank Independent Consultant | AU AFIGF Member | Ghana OGP Advisory Committee member | GSS SDGs Advisory Committee Member</font></div><div><font size="1">____________________________________________________________________________________________</font></div></div><div><font size="1">Specialization:</font></div><div><font size="1">E-government Network Infrastructure and E-application, Internet Governance, Open Data policies platforms & Community Development, Cyber Security, Geospatial Technologies, Open Source Technologies, Domain Name Systems, Human Resource Planning and Development, Software Engineering, Event Planning & Management, <br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 14, 2026 at 1:09 PM Andrea Glandon via Npoc-discuss <<a href="mailto:npoc-discuss@icann.org">npoc-discuss@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-3847399925080778932">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,31,31)">The primary goal is to promote a dialogue between technical FOSS sustainability & expansion with non-commercial policy advocacy. We intend to examine the specific
risks identified by the concerned community, such as SSAC, and discuss how those vulnerabilities directly impact non-commercial organizations and individual users. Furthermore, the session will focus on identifying concrete ways for civil society to support
open standards and explore the intersection of FOSS with the protection of non-commercial rights in the DNS (and, more broadly, the Internet) ecosystem.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
