In this time of transition for the EC David's experience would provide the relatively young and new-to-ICANN members populating the other regional EC slots the senior leadership necessary to help them achieve their goals. I hope that David will accept this nomination.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>David Cake needs no introduction to most of us. Chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia, David has held a number of positions within the NCUC (including that of Interim Chair) and the GNSO (including two years as Vice Chair of the GNSO Council). Dave currently is the Vice Chair of the important RDS working group where his attendance rate of 91.4% is tops amongst noncommercial participants. His ability to couple his WG leadership with an Executive Committee position will ensure his presence at most ICANN face to face meetings: something that is essential as we continue to be outnumbered by a large margin on the RDS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>David's intelligence and even tempered manner has led him to being amongst our most respected members throughout the ICANN community. As a newly elected Councillor during David's tenure as Vice Chair of the GNSO I often turned to him for advice and guidance as I tried to determine how to be effective on Council. He was always willing to help myself and the other NCSG volunteers new to Council. I trust he'll be able to do the same for what appears will be a newly elected EC that will be long on energy and ambition but a bit short on the type of experience that David can provide. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I thank David for his many years of volunteer effort on our behalf, hope he will accept this nomination and that you, our members, will chose to select him for next years NCUC Executive Committee.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div> </div>
