<p dir="auto">Thank you very much for the warm welcome.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am honored to join the NCUC community and to contribute, alongside such a diverse group of colleagues, to advancing non-commercial users’ interests within ICANN and the broader internet governance ecosystem.</p>
<p>By way of brief introduction, I am a governance and policy advisor based in Lebanon, working at the intersection of public policy reform, institutional development, and information ecosystem resilience in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. My work focuses on stakeholder coordination, regulatory analysis, and strengthening public-interest safeguards within complex governance environments.</p>
<p dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit">I am particularly interested in how global domain name policy intersects with civic space, digital rights, and inclusive participation from the Global South. I look forward to engaging in working groups and contributing constructively to policy development discussions.</span><br></p>
<p dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit">Please do not hesitate to guide me toward ongoing priorities where I can add value.</span></p></div></div></span></p>
