I’m not sure if this situation was addressed, but if not, I’d just like to support Farzaneh’s questions here (I apologise if I missed an earlier response to them). I think these questions are very valid, and I find it rather unusual that one would run for an NCUC office while currently serving NPOC in a leadership capacity. To do so sounds to me like leadership musical chairs, switching from one elected office to another, and not a genuine desire to strengthen relationships between the constituencies.<div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best wishes,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Ayden Férdeline<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 20 Sep 2018, at 18:21, farzaneh badii <<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@GMAIL.COM" class="">farzaneh.badii@GMAIL.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Thank you </div></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">I would like to ask you here how are you going to change the relationship of npoc and ncuc when you ran for NPOC election, Winning a contested seat ( I thought it was NPOC EC, is it EC or PC or both?) and then decided to come back and run for an NCUC position?

I have long experience with ICANN, particularly with its policy processes, but also with its community leaders etc. There is a lot of history and it is a very complex institution that takes years to fully understand. I think the EC having at least once member with significant experience with ICANN policy processes (such as how GNSO council operates, the policy development process, historical interactions with other parts of ICANN such as the ALAC or GAC) is very valuable.<br class="">
<br class="">
I intend to work on Asia Pacific regional coordination and outreach issues in the next year, beginning with attendance at the OpenTechFund Summit in Taipei shortly after the ICANN Barcelona meeting. I intend to do this anyway, and of course it will involve talking to many NCUC (and NCSG) colleagues in any event, but I feel it will be significantly better if we are able to link it outreach efforts through those networks to NCUC regional outreach efforts.<br class="">
<br class="">
And I think we have a good chance to change the relationship between NCUC and NPOC to one that is more cooperative and complementary than it has historically been, and I am committed to working towards that.<br class="">
<br class="">
I hope my ICANN record is known to many by now - NCSG GNSO Councillor for 4 years, 2 as Vice-Chair, a lot of working group experience including the Next-generation RDS working group Vice-chair, etc. I have previously served on the NCUC Executive Committee, and for a short time as acting Chair of NCUC, in 2012. I am currently the chair of the NPOC Policy Committee, and as such a member of the NCSG Policy committee.<br class="">
