I am looking forward to being at the table and participate for over a year I attended an ICANN meeting. Looking forward to broadening the horizon of my current engagement in both NCUC and NCSG. I hope to do my best to keep along with the ICANN63 sessions especially those that concern the NCUC and NCSG. I am also a volunteer on the Policy Committee of NPOC. My hope is the improve engagement in NCUC will grant me the needed path to the leadership or executive committee in the forthcoming election. As someone who missed the opportunity to participate in the recently organized NCSG/NCUC and NPOC – GNSO PDP capacity building training, I hope my participation will give me another opportunity to build the capacity in the writing comments in ICANN policy development process. I also look to network with other stakeholders both in my constituent and ICANN space at large.</span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2"><br><span></span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><font size="2">
