Hmmm....   Is this another new member who may also really be a govt representative?

"Pakistan Telecom Authority" does not sound noncommercial to me.

I probably approved his membership application in as an individual because I didn't have this background.  Maybe we need to add something to the membership application asking about an individual's participation in ICANN in another role, like as a GAC rep or even as a govt rep outside of ICANN?

Not only are we being infiltrated by commercial actors, we also have Govt folks who want another bite at the policy-making apple via NCSG .....

This will be my third and final participation as a fellow and it would be great to see more NCSG members attend meetings as fellows for sure. It would also be great to see more participation from seasoned NCSG members with the fellowship program in general. I am actually specifically referring to the morning meetings the fellows have on a daily basis during the course of ICANN meetings.

This attendance serves two purposes I am aware of; one to assist in the capacity building and general understanding for ICANN newbies on what the structure of the community is like and how it works, and secondly, these meetings are probably a worthwhile place to go to if you?re interested in recruiting new members to a stakeholder group. I?ve attended the Seoul and Nairobi meetings with the fellowship program, and we had speakers during the morning meetings from GAC, NomCom, ccNSO, ALAC, as well as staff members, but none from the NCSG or gNSO.

I requested to shadow someone from the NCUC, and I think that it is worth noting that had we had a speaker from the NCUC at a fellowship meeting back in Seoul or Nairobi, I probably would have joined this constituency a lot earlier than I actually did.
