</font></p>
<p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">My name is Lia P. Hernández Pérez, and I am a Panamanian lawyer based in Panama
<span class="Asgive ng" style="border-style:none;background:none">City,</span> Latin America and the Caribbean region. I am writing to submit my candidacy for the position of NCUC Executive Committee for LAC.
</font></p><p><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">No conflicts of interest</font></span></p><p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">With over 15 years of experience in internet governance and digital rights, I have been
an active member of the ICANN community since 2014. I have participated in numerous
ICANN meetings, both in-person and virtually, since 2018. From 2020 to 2022, I <span class="Asgive ng" style="border-style:none;background:none">had the
honor of representing the LACRALO</span> as a NomComm delegate in 2023-24 and as an NCUC EC LAC between 2021 and 2022. It was a
privilege to serve in this capacity, and I take pride in being one of the few from Central
America to achieve something significant for a region historically underrepresented in
ICANN spaces.</font></p>
<p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Professionally, I have had the privilege of gaining diverse and enriching experiences.
>From 2013 to 2023, I worked at Ipandetec, Panama’s leading organization advocating
for human rights in the digital ecosystem. My work involved monitoring legislative
changes on digital issues, planning advocacy campaigns, managing projects, and
drafting policy reports on topics such as privacy, cybersecurity, digital identity, and
content moderation, both at the local and regional levels.
</font></p>
<p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Since 2023, I have focused on consulting, <span class="Asgive ng" style="border-style:none;background:none">with a strong emphasis on fostering</span> the
development of the digital ecosystem in Latin America and the<span class="Asgive ng" style="border-style:none;background:none"> Caribbean and</span> globally.
Throughout these experiences, I have had the privilege of building an extensive regional
and international network, which has allowed me to work in all three languages I speak
fluently: Spanish, Italian, and English. I have the flexibility to participate in monthly
teleconferences and weekly meetings across different time zones. As a remote worker, I
can adjust my schedule.
</font></p>
<p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Being part of the ICANN community has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I
am deeply committed to the mission of improving the digital world in which we live. If
elected <span class="Q6ibn ng" style="border-style:none;background:none">for</span> this position, I am confident that I can make meaningful contributions to the constituency's work, as well as to the broader efforts to promote a more inclusive and
equitable Internet.</font></p></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail-page" title="Page 2"><div class="gmail-section"><div class="gmail-layoutArea"><div class="gmail-column">
<p><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further
contribute to the NCUC community.
</font></p>
