A key part of this initiative is pairing newcomers with experienced community members—our *"ccNSO buddies"*—who can help lower the threshold for participation and enhance engagement during meetings. As a follow-up to our recent call for ccNSO buddies, we are now reaching out to you to ask for your support in identifying newcomers from your organization who will be attending the* ICANN 84 meeting in Dublin*: - *For the First-time or second-time attendees*, or - Individuals returning to ccNSO meetings after an extended absence If someone from your organization meets this description, we kindly ask you to: 1. *Attend the Newcomers webinar , 7 October 2025| noon UTC* 2. *Inform them about the newcomer assistance program*, and 3. *Encourage them to contact us* directly at *Claudia.Ruiz at icann.org * – or let us know on their behalf. Our goal is to match newcomers with ccNSO buddies *before the Dublin meeting* to ensure a smooth and welcoming experience from day one. For more details, please see the *ccNSO call for buddies [ccnso.icann.org] * . Thank you for helping us foster a more inclusive and supportive ccNSO community!
