the trust of the NUCU and NCSG members to serve on NCUC EC. I’m with full confidence that my participation
in the EC will help achieve the NCUC objectives as set <b>out in the NCUC charter and in the mind of every NCUC member</b></span></p>

in the ICANN environment and Internet Governance for a number of years have
given me a sense of responsibility and commitment that is required to
effectively function and assume a bigger task. Putting myself forward as the EC
for Africa is to continue the excellent works of the ex-EC while bringing new
perspectives that would enhance NCUC activeness and participation in the ICANN
environment. </span></p>

team and collaboratively on several projects as ACSIS regional Coordinator for
the West, I got a better sense of roles and responsibilities of the EC. I
understand that an EC member needs to understand and be aligned with NCUC
objective. My involvement in ICANN and IG discussions, public comment and
willingness to engage, contribute and to representing the interest of the end
users has impacted my capacity to take on task that demand commitment. </span></p>

need and challenges that interface with effective collaboration in the ICANN environment.
In summary, I will be bringing the energy, the right skills, leadership experience
and aptitude that NCUC needs to engage with different views that surface from
different stakeholders. </span></p>

but ask the following questions. How do we bring back the experience of the
NCUC? How do we restore trust that has long gone? How do we recruit without
making them a dormant fellow and finally, how do we keep living together to
advance NCUC objective. My simple answer to all these questions is embedded in
love, discipline, sacrifice and compromise </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I look forward to serve in my full capacity if given a chance. </span></p>
