            <div>Hi NCUC members,</div>
            <br>
            My name is Benjamin Akinmoyeje  and I am the new NCUC chair.
            I am writing to formally introduce myself and share a bit of
            the aspirations for NCUC.<br>
            <br>
            As the NCUC chair,  I will be responsible for increasing
            member engagement and participation of our constituency at
            the ICANN multistakeholder space.<br>
            I hope to be the interface between members and the other
            sections of the community.I will bring issues that need your
            contribution to your attention.<br>
            It is my expectation that we will participate more actively
            in the policy development processes to maintain the
            stability of DNS as we have always done.<br>
            <br>
            I hope to amplify our participation in ICANN activities and
            discussion online more than before as virtual engagement has
            come to stay.<br>
            There is a dire demand for us to become more intentional
            about the use of the available online tools, such as  NCUC
            website, twitter, facebook and zoom platforms for our
            engagements.<br>
            <br>
            I am eager to work directly with members with online
            influence to amplify discourse on the topics of interests to
            our community. I am looking forward to working with the
            NCUC-EC, Brenda and Andrea to serve the community.<br>
            <br>
            I can see the NCUC EC and ICANN support team doing great
            work.<br>
            <br>
            It is obvious that volunteer fatigue and burnout are real,
            and virtual ICANN has also dampened momentum, but we can not
            give up now, I call on all members to<br>
            endeavor to participate and contribute their little portion,
            especially veterans and newbies alike.<br>
            <br>
            This is a learning opportunity for me and I hope to grow in
            this capacity.<br>
            <br>
            I want to thank Maryam once more for all her support to our
            community and welcome Andrea. Also Thank Brenda for her
            continuous support.<br>
            <br>
            I also like to thank everyone who voted in the last
            elections to select the new leadership. I look forward to
            working with everyone for the advancement of NCUC.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            I’d like to share some details about myself.<br>
            I am currently conducting my PhD research studies in
            Informatics at the Namibia University of Science and
            Technology,I was the immediate NCUC-EC Africa
            representative.<br>
            My career experience has been in digital health in public
            health in Nigeria and some parts of Africa while my ICANN
            experience started as recently as 2014. NCUC has been my
            home since I stepped into ICANN<br>
            <br>
            Finally, I like to thank the immediate Chair Raphael, for
            his selfless service to the community and his support as
            well.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            Kind regards,<br>
            Benjamin Akinmoyeje </div>
