With her well-rounded experience in management, organisation,

of interest to be an NCUC representative to ICANN's NomCom<br>
Anriette Esterhuysen, 28 July 2017<br>
------------------------------<wbr>------------------------------<wbr>--<br>
<br>
I have been an NCUC member for many years, and have followed
the work of<br>
NCSG and NCUC in ICANN even if often from a distance. My
position as<br>
executive director of the Association for Progressive
Communications<br>
(APC) made it very hard to dedicate as much time to ICANN as
I would<br>
have liked to. However, earlier this year I stepped down as
APC<br>
executive director and now hold a position focused on global
policy and<br>
strategy.<br>
<br>
This will enable me to invest more time in ICANN work.<br>
<br>
While I plan to become more involved in policy work inside
ICANN, I feel<br>
I am particularly well-qualified for Nomcom as a result of
having served<br>
on several boards of directors, and because I have paid
particular<br>
attention to the ICANN accountability processes.<br>
<br>
I care about the ICANN board because it is a very important,
and<br>
influential component of the ICANN decision-making system.
Making sure<br>
that diverse and critical perspectives are reflected on this
board is<br>
vital if ICANN is to address the existing, and evolving and
emerging<br>
challenges related to its structure, governance and
legitimacy as an<br>
inclusive multi-stakeholder body.<br>
<br>
My experience in the internet governance sector dates back
to WSIS<br>
period. I have often been part of collective decision-making
processes,<br>
particularly through my membership of the global IGF MAG<br>
(Multistakeholder Advisory Group) and the African IGF
organising group.<br>
I have served on various United Nations working groups as
well as many<br>
civil society structures.<br>
<br>
My roots are in Africa and most of my working life has been
spent<br>
expanding internet access and use on the continent - which
is probably<br>
the main reason I was honoured with being inducted into the
Internet<br>
Hall of Fame. Working towards affordable, reliable, social
justice,<br>
development and human rights-enabling internet access in
Africa remains<br>
a priority for me. However, through APC I have had the
opportunity to<br>
visit and learn from and about many other parts of the
world. For a few<br>
months, in 2007, I lived in and worked from Montevideo. I
tried to learn<br>
Spanish while there... with very partial success :)<br>
<br>
I have never had any paid positions in ICANN. I did serve on
one of the<br>
ICANN CEO's high-level panels a few years ago. The
High-Level Panel on<br>
Global Internet Cooperation and Governance Mechanisms.<br>
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cooperation-governance-mechanisms-2013-12-20-en" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resource<wbr>s/pages/cooperation-governance<wbr>-mechanisms-2013-12-20-en</a><br>
<br>
During 2016 and early 2017 I was part of an
ICANN-commissioned study<br>
into the African DNS study. The contractor who dealt
directly with ICANN<br>
was the South African Communications Forum but I was part of
the team.<br>
<br>
My organisation has received support from ICANN for the
African School<br>
on Internet Governance and, in 2015, we collaborated with
ICANN in the<br>
publication of a book to commemorate the 10th anniversary of
the Working<br>
Group on Internet Governance. No payments have ever
benefited my<br>
personally. We received a CROP grant in 2016 to do NCUC
Outreach at the<br>
Africa Internet Summit in Gaborone (June 2017). I have only
once<br>
received financial support through NCUC to attend an ICANN
meeting<br>
(London in 2014).<br>
<br>
I have served on multiple not-for-profit governing boards so
I am<br>
familiar with the characteristics and skills a Nomcom should
be looking<br>
for. My experience as a CEO of an organisation that has the
same legal<br>
status that ICANN has (Section 501c3 incorporated under
California law)<br>
will also be helpful.<br>
<br>
If NCUC members entrust me with this role, I will do my best
to play it<br>
well and to help making the ICANN board not just
representative of the<br>
diversity of stakeholders affected by domain name
management, but also<br>
able to be dynamic and creative in serving, at board level
the broadest<br>
possible public interest.<br>
<br>
I attach my CV for your information.<br>
