[Erick Iriarte]

  To the members!

  Candidate Statement of Iriarte for the NCDNHC election to AdCom and NC.

Let me start this statment by saying "thank you". Thanks to Enred for
nominating me and thanks to all who have supported this nomination.

I have followed the ICANN process from a Latin American perspective.
However, I don't have only a regional vision, I thinks this perspective
represents the "other side" of the digital divide, worldwide.

Among other activities in promoting non-commercial, developing-countries
interests in ICANN, I have been Chair of the At-Large Membership
Implementation Task Force in LAc, and presently am a member of the UDRP
Review  Task Force of the DNSO.


  My postulation is based on the following premises:


1. Multilingual information is needed. Many organizations don't take part in
the discussions of the NCDNHC because they don't speak English. If we want
a global participation we need to speak in their mother languages. This
is a job for the AdCom, in the NCDNHC, and for the Names Council. We can't
create barriers to the participation of any organization.

2. In representing lack and the "other side" of the digital divide, we need
to have a full vision: we can't understand the world only with the vision
of developing countries. For developing countries the Internet is a key to
development, and domain names are in turn a key part of their use and
growth.

3. We have to continue the work of the present Adcom and promote better ways
of member participation. We don't want a situation where only a few
members participate, we want all to take part in the process of
decision-making by consensus.

Please send me your commments and questions.

Kindly, Erick Iriarte Ahon
