[NCUC-DISCUSS] gnso working groups open - guide to choosing a working group

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

Another generally useful page to be aware of is the “Quick Info” (http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-efforts.htm) page on the GNSO website. This is a relatively new page, and is basically a collection of links to other pages that cover most of the GNSO’s activities…, such as the GNSO Calendar, GNSO council and working group wiki pages, email archives, policy documents, etc…

Thanks.

Amr
