<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am please to nominate for the open Council seats two
outstanding civil society scholar/activists, Joy Liddicoat and
Wolfgang Kleinwachter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Joy is the Project Co-ordinator for Internet Rights are Human
Rights for the Association for Progressive Communication, a NCUC
organizational member. 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. More about Joy here <a

<div>Wolfgang is probably known to most members, as he's an
individual NCUC member who's attended I believe all but one or
two ICANN meetings since its founding and has served most
recently as the chair of Nomcom. 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. More about Wolfgang here <a
