Joy is lawyer who's been a long-time activist on human rights on the Internet and beyond, and she's also involved in DNS issues and well attuned to the ICANNsphere. At present she also serves Director of the Domain Name Commission, InternetNZ, the non-profit multistakeholder body responsible for managing .nz and related Internet issues in New Zealand, so she brings to the table an understanding of public interest aspects of the ccTLD space as well. A strong human rights orientation has generally been lacking in ICANN and the GNSO, so she'd be filling an important gap. At the same time, it would be good to further engage in NCSG the APC, which as probably everyone knows is the probably the largest NGO, a multinational network, doing civil society activism around Internet and ICT issues.

He's a leading scholar on global Internet governance and ICANN who's been very involved with not only ICANN but the civil society coalitions involved in the WSIS and IGF. He is a professor at the University of Aarhus, the organizer of the annual ICANN Studienkreis conference, the organizer of the European Summer School on Internet Governance, a founder along with Milton myself and others of the Global Internet Governance Academic Networks, and so on. Like Joy, he has the background and disposition to be a great Councilor for the NCSG.
