Dear all:<div><br></div><div>This is a self nomination, not because there aren't already many good candidates, but precisely because there are already many extremely good candidates (some still missing, I hope).</div><div>
<br></div><div>My interest in presenting this candidature is double:</div><div>- first, to motivate other participants who may feel they could be useful to the constituency, and also to present another European candidature;</div>
<div>- secondly, because I think there should me more focus on integrating persons with a strong technical and academic background from the areas of engineering and computer science, while with a clear conscience of the values that support our common interests.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, without any false modesty, I bring to your evaluation my candidature to a seat in the Council.</div><div><br></div><div>Following the rules, here is my presentation:</div><div><br></div><div>- Nuno M. Garcia, Europe, Male (b. 22-11-1965), Professor at the Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies, Lisbon and at the University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- no conflicts of interest with NCUC or with the ICANN.</div><div><br></div><div>- the reason that motivates this candidature is I believe in the need to have a counselor that has a strong technical background from the areas of engineering and computer science, while with a clear conscience of the values that support our common interests.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- qualifications: PhD in Computer Science and Engineering (scientific area of Computer Networks); several years of volunteer in social organizations.</div><div><br></div><div>- I declare that I have time to commit to the tasks associated with position.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally, I hope more nomination may appear, this is great to the vitality of the constituency.</div><div><br></div><div>Warm regards from Portugal,</div><div><br></div><div>Nuno Garcia</div>
