<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi NCUC-ers,<br>
<br>
I would like to stand as a candidate to be a representative for Europe of the NCUC Executive Committee.<br>
<br>
I have had several times the opportunity to work on Internet governance issues as a public policy expert and consumer protection advocate. I have been active in ICANN-related policy debates since 2001 through my work for various non-profit organizations, and particularly from the perspectives of freedom of speech and privacy. Between 2001 and 2006, when I was the Director of the International Privacy Project with the Electronic Privacy Information Center (<a href="http://www.epic.org" target="_blank">http://www.epic.org</a>), a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization, my main focus was to advocate strong protections for individual domain name registrants so that ICANN policies respect their freedom of expression and privacy. I also directed the publication of an annual survey of privacy developments ("Privacy and Human Rights") between 2003 and 2006, which included Internet governance and ICANN-related issues across multiple jurisdictions around the world (<a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/4zcnd" target="_blank">http://preview.tinyurl.com/4zcnd</a>).<br>
<br>
As a member of the following associations or expert groups, I expect from time to time to have the opportunity to bring forward to them some of the issues to debate within the NCUC:<br>
* District of Columbia Bar (2002-)<br>
* Asia-Pacific Privacy Charter Council (international privacy expert group) (2003-)<br>
* International Working Group on Data Protection in Telecommunications (international privacy expert group) (2005-)<br>
* UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Dynamic Coalition on Privacy (2006-)<br>
* Vaultletsoft, Board of Advisors (cryptography software company) (2006-)<br>
* Grupo de Estudios en Internet Comercio Electrónico Telecomunicaciones e Informática (GECTI), Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes (Colombian university expert group) (2007-)<br>
* IP Justice, Cyberlaw Legal Advisory Board (2007-)<br>
* American Bar Association (Section of International Law, Young Lawyers' Interest Network) (2007-)<br>
<br>
