<br>
I support this nomination and thank Nuno for his personal efforts
in getting Portuguese speaking African countries into ICANN.
Efforts begun sometime last year after a realisation that mainly
or only English and French speaking African countries were
represented.<br>
<br>
Thank you for accepting the nomination.<br>

Sincerely,<br>

<div>Dear Konstantinos, dear all:</div>
<div><br>
I am honored by this nomination, that I humbly accept.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand that this is a service we are doing to our
community, even if it is a virtual community rather than a
physical one.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also understand that to represent a group of users with
similar interest and problems, a different mindset is
needed, where one's individual opinion and beliefs must be
used to capture as much as possible the feeling of the
community. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As to the NCUC, I think we may need to enlarge our member
basis. We cannot point to others faults, and then, with only
a few hundred members (as good as these may be) claim that
we represent the community in a meaningful manner. And we
need to learn how to communicate in a inclusive manner -
some of the messages in this list are so full of
technicalities that are hard to understand.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doing this will allow us to access new opinions and
perspectives, and this will increase our overall degree of
colective wisdom, making our decisions stronger and more
beatiful.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Talking a bit about myself, I am Portuguese, and
travelled a bit around the world. I hold a PhD in Computer
Science and Engineering and consider myself a Computer
Scientist, with all the good and bad connotations that this
statement carries. Professionaly, I am an Assistant
Professor and a Researcher. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a strong supporter of Human Rights and I believe in
decisions made on these grounds - Human Values should always
guide our judgement.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope my service to this community is worthy of your
choice.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
