If you require any assistance in a WG in relevance to my expertise in e-governance or I-governance (I am sure majority of the members of this group has) in developing economies, I will be glad to help.

I have only worked on the groups I am involved with so far as that info was easier for me to find.  i will work on the other issues, the ones I am not directly involved in but am enlisting the help of anyone who is involved.  If you already know what should be added to chart, please let me know.

>> Speaking of getting in involved.; NCSG has 100's of members, some of which are organizations with another bunch of members by virtue of working for a member.  Yet, fewer than 10% of our members are involved in WG, Teams etc..  In the bottom-up model, this is where the work starts and where the policies begin.  This is where we need NCSG members with their talents and concerns.
>> 
>> I encourage any and all of our members to find one of the topics that is important to your regular work or to your interests and get involved.  Even just being on the mailing list and participating in a WG call every few weeks can be a very significant contribution to the diversity of NCSG values and principles being included in the policies ICANN produces.

You don't have to read every email or every word of every document.  Being informed and involved is enough.
>> 
>> For anyone who is interested in getting involved, I am ready to help you find your way into the world of GNSO WG and Teams.  I am a NCUC representative on the NCSG Policy Committee for the next year and have made getting more NCSG involvement (whether NCUC, NPOC and/or unaligned) in the policy process my personal goal for 2013.  So, if you want to get involved but don't really know how to do it, please feel free to send me a note.  I am here to help.
