<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to weigh in to support Arun Sukumar and Farzaneh Badii for the Executive Committee seats.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both have emerged recently as very active contributors to our constituency and stakeholder group. When people this skilled are putting that much effort into a volunteer organization they deserve to be recognized and given an appropriate
platform for their work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Farzaneh, in addition to her research as a doctoral student, has loads of experience in the IG ecosystem through her work with the IGF Secretariat for several years. She has actively followed the CCWG on accountability, formed a dynamic
coalition on accountability for IGF, and has blogged for the Internet Governance Project on various topics. I know from direct experience that she does not shirk the not-so-fun administrative work that is required to get policy done and ideas disseminated.
So you could not find a more well-rounded candidate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Arun has a background as a journalist and has brought the critical investigative reporter’s eye into the ICANN scene. Currently situated in a policy-oriented foundation in India, he has carefully tracked the IANA transition process and
has filed comments in it. He asks tough questions of the ICANN process and he shows up. I don’t think anyone could do a better job of representing the AP region in NCUC.
