you want to serve on the EC?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:14pt;font-family:Times new roman;">ICANN environment is extremely
time and energy-consuming, which is especially evident in the non-commercial
part of the community. At this stage, I’m ready to contribute my time and
expertise to strengthen NCUC from the inside and promote its interests within a
broader ICANN community. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:14pt;font-family:Times new roman;">I
believe my legal background and experience in project management would be an
asset to perform the duties expected from this role.</span></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><b style="font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:14pt;font-family:Times new roman;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"/></span></b></div>

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.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:14pt;font-family:Times new roman;background-color:white;">I have PhD in International Law and am currently a Chair of the
Executive Committee at SEEDIG - South Eastern European Dialogue on Internet
Governance. In my daily job working as a Program Manager at the American Bar
Association Rule of Law Initiative in charge of the regional Internet freedom
advocacy program. Founder and advisor of The Influencer Platform, a
Ukrainian-based think-and-do tank. I am actively involved in regional and
international Internet governance and human rights initiatives: founding member
of the Internet Freedom Network for Eastern, Central Europe, and Eurasia; former
open Internet leader of the Open Internet for Democracy Initiative. Provide
consultancy and expert support to Freedom House, Council of Europe and a range
of international companies working worldwide. During the last eight years, I’m putting
lots of efforts into improving civil society capabilities and facilitating
multistakeholder cooperation at the national and regional levels. I would
happily continue raising awareness of NCUC and bringing more voices to the
community. I am well aware of the specifics of the European IG community and
its problems, have an extensive professional network, including representatives
of different stakeholder groups. </span></div>

running for the NCUC EC position.</span></div>

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.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Times new roman;line-height:14pt;">Having almost completed one term on the NCUC EC
Europe position, I am fully aware of the required time commitment and am ready
to dedicate my efforts to the development of the Constituency in the upcoming
year. I have neither concerns nor reservations as to attending online and
in-person meetings. </span></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><b style="font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:14pt;font-family:Times new roman;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"/></span></b></div>

with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your
EC-related activities?</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Times new roman;line-height:14pt;">Same as before, I will keep informing the
membership about relevant updates from the EC work and available regional
engagement opportunities. I will also strongly support the EC outreach and
mentoring activities.</span></div>

you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing in the future? What
areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention and why? Incumbent
candidates should answer in a manner that is both backward and forward-looking,
i.e. taking note of their contributions and work in the previous year.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-right:0cm;text-align:justify;background:white;padding-left:0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Times new roman;line-height:14pt;">I believe that NCUC has brilliant minds among
its members, but, unfortunately, burnout is commonplace. Therefore, it is
extremely important for the EC to focus on fostering members’ active participation
in WGs, and PDPs. We need to strive for better diversification of the workload
in terms of representing the NCUC interests within ICANN, including via public
comments and WGs. I would do my best to encourage more members to get involved
in policy discussions and public comments drafting.</span></div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>It is very impressive seeing the nominations of experienced colleagues all of which I support. I was dismayed to see Raphael leave at these crucial and trying times we find ourselves in (COVID-19). Raphael’s work within this short period where everything ICANN went virtual, he did very well keeping the community together. I can only wish him well and hope to see him back in the near future.</div>
<div><br/>On the other hand, I would like to take this opportunity to nominate
<b><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#202122;">OLGA KYRYLIUK</span></b><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#202122;"> </span> for <b>EC Europe</b>. Olga has been very impressive for quite some time now. With her experience within the community and legal background and deep understanding of International law, privacy, freedom of expressions, data protection and human rights issues, cyber issues and Internet governance, I see her to be the perfect candidate for EC Europe.</div>
<div> <br/>Olga has been an active and passionate participant in the NCUC, she does understand the challenges of NCUC and I am sure she would bring some great ideas to the development of the community. I hope she will accept this nomination.</div>
<div><br/>Olga I am humbled before you, please accept this nomination</div>
