[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nomination for NCUC Chair - Renata Aquino Ribeiro

[Patricia Adriana Vargas Leon]

Hello everyone,


I would like to nominate for NCUC Chair to Renata Aquino Ribeiro. I have known Renata for over a year and I saw her working tirelessly for the growth and mobilization of NCUC membership, welcoming all who want to be involved in the Internet policy debate and learn more about ICANN and DNS.

I met Renata when I was doing Internet governance related research in Washington D.C. in one of the many informal outreach events she organized. She was trying to involve colleagues, community members and whoever she could convince to mobilize people to be involved in the Internet policy debate.

As a new member to NCUC, I would like to point out that there is a lot to learn in the internet policy debates and, so much we can do and, I am glad to think Renata could be leading the way for others to join too. Her participation in working groups covering complex topics like ICANN accountability and diversity, drafting teams and fellowship coaching, and mentoring have inspired many to be involved. Outside of ICANN, Renata has lead people into accomplishments in global and regional Internet governance forums and civil society organized events.

I am glad to continue to know NCUC's work and I hope to see many more initiatives in the following years with Renata.

I hope she accepts this nomination and NCUC moves ahead continuing to be crucial for civil society in ICANN.

Kind regards,
