Why do you want to serve on the EC?</strong></p><p>I want to serve the NCUC in this next and last term to improve
their communication, support to new members and accountability. Many
hours are invested in debates by discussion
groups, webinars, ICANN meetings and other forums and little
is recorded and shared to the general public. I intend to understand
this process and propose improvements with stakeholders. Also the LAC region has been hampered by having had three meetings recently transferred because of the Zika epidemic, this significantly affects local engagement, and no matter how good the ICANN compensation program is, it does not replace the intensity and timeliness of a local event . For this reason, I intend to continue working in partnership with the Africa Executive Board, in defense of the interests of the global South, which have different priorities from the other regions, and always in the prioritization of decisions that affect our region.</p><p>I want to share my experience in grassroot activism and
coordination and motivation of large workgroups and debates as I did in
the past when I coordinated a group of 13,000 users of Macromedia, and also as activist and communication professional.</p><p><strong>2. Provide a brief biography of recent experience,
associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive
Committee. Describe the relevance of your personal and professional
experience to serve on the NCUC Executive Committee, and identify any
conflicts of interests you might have.</strong></p>
<div><p>I am the campaign manager and the founder of Movimento Mega <<a class="external-link" href="http://movimentomega.org.br/" rel="nofollow">http://movimentomega.org.br/</a>>,
a Brazilian collective dedicated to internet policy issues at both
national and global levels, Counselor representing Latin America &
Caribe Civil Society on NETmundial initiative and creator of Terceira
Social Crowdvertasing, a crowdsourced advertising and marketing agency
to help small NGOs to spread their word.</p><p>Formerly self-called "Movimento Mega Não", the Movimento Mega was
created to face the crescent internet freedom menaces as well the civil
rights and human rights violations in Brazil through authoritarian bill
projects in the Brazilian Parliament. In 2009 the “Mega Não” become a
powerful platform for mobilization and information against threats to
internet freedom, working from public hearings, lectures, interviews,
flash mobs to blogging collective.</p><p>It was the one of coordinator for the Brazilian Blackout against
SOPA on January 18, achieving membership of over 400 sites in Brazil. In
2011, "Mega Não" won the Frida Prize, in "freedoms" category, as a
project with a prominent activity in the public and political level to
avoid censorship of the Internet. Prize offered by LACNIC, ISOC and IDRC
and delivered during the LACNIC XVI in Buenos Aires <<a class="external-link" href="http://programafrida.net/libertades2011" rel="nofollow">http://programafrida.net/libertades2011</a>>.
Movimento Mega is also member of ISOC Brazil, The Internet Defense
League, Red Latam, Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality and the NCSG
at ICANN.</p><p>My background is in engineering and marketing, currently I work as
independent innovation consulting to private sector and on internet
policy processes at national and global levels, with special attention
on how decisions taken at international arenas such as UN affect
national legislation as well everyday people lives. In the last year
both myself and my organization have been working on the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF), International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and
ICANN, particularly in relation to the non commercial users perspective
of the ICANN issues. My duties focuses the following
activities: to coordinate the overall Movimento Mega's activities; to
coordinate the political analyses and online content; to coordinate
public hearings and mobilizations; to deliver presentations on internet
policy, security, openness and privacy issues at academic and non
academic events, congress and meetings. I am also member of Diplo
Internet Governance Community.</p>

<strong>3. The EC performs several functional responsibilities for the
Constituency. What level of time commitment can you bring to your EC
role on a weekly and overall basis? Describe any concerns or
limitations on your ability to attend online meetings of the Executive
Committee and ICANN Meetings in person. </strong>
</div>
<div>
I will continued to dedicate at least six hours a week, and more when needed to
carry out EC tasks. I'm free to join the calls and/or in person meetings
of the EC, when needed. Usually I don't have limitations to attend
online or in person, when these are scheduled in timely manner.
</div>
<div>
<br>
<strong>4. Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?</strong>
</div>
<div>
I intend to use the default channel of communication with members
trough regular posts on the lists. Also reaching out to members of NCUC
to get their inputs and feedbacks. I participate in multiple lists that
discuss IG and policy making, including some of LAC and Brazil region,
that I must use to share information and captivate the interest to
participate at NCUC. Finally using social media, through private and
public spaces, to build interest and capacity building for new actors
that has affinity with our constituency agenda.
</div>
<div>
<br>
<strong>5. How do you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing
in the future? What areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention
and why? </strong>
</div>
<div><p>Networking is the key issue to continue strengthening the NCUC, a
civil society stakeholder inside ICANN's complex structure, once
important strengths of the civil society are directed related to the
quantity and quality of capacity building of the citizens in the
subjects of our agenda.</p>
<div>
Inside the ICANN policy we have to work beyond gTLD's and IANA transition debates too, once
the operation of gTLD become ICANN the richest "I"star member and IANA function the most powerful, and is
important to discuss now policies and warranties about the use of this
budget to forest Internet development focused in principles and
objectives which respect the Internet ecosystem and the social
development, and specially on LAC region. </div></div></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
