<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>First, I'd like to kindly thank Joan for her inputs.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, I cast my first vote to Shahul. As my colleagues have already highlighted, he has been actively engaging in policy writing and shows promising development within our community -- he has shown consistent commitment and dedication. His application was clear, consistent and grounded. I think he would also benefit greatly from the opportunity to participate on-site and hopefully lay deeper grounds for further engagement within the NCUC.</div><div><br></div><div>Quite frankly, my second vote goes to <i>either</i> Benjamin or Dina. Let me take a few lines to explain why - given NPOC Chair's support for Dina. I have had the opportunity to work with her in the past two meetings at the onboarding program. She is committed and has engaged in drafting comments - a strong applicant. Although her application might have benefitted from a more concrete outline of how she has been working within PDPs - or tying PDP experience as an observer with her policy writing (a general way of gaining insights and perspectives from other stakeholder groups and/or maturity in navigating ICANN). On the other hand, I also think that we need to give space for new applicants, and that includes giving Ben an opportunity, as he has, unfortunately, not been able to attend the last meeting due to visa issues. He also submitted a good application, clearly demonstrating consistency in participating and following two PDPs and looking for mentorship. My only question here is that while he states that he would do his best to "<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">keep along with the ICANN63 sessions especially those that concern the NCUC and NCSG" he didn't explain how the slot would also play into his volunteer work </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">on NPOC's PC, in particular. I think that this might have been an opportunity for him to provide a more robust account of a grounded plan for engagement in this next meeting. </span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">As observed, I outlined both the pros and cons of their applications. <i>I don't think there's a clear shot here</i> and thus count on my peers to either provide further insights to their decision that might aid in the allocation of this slot or, rely on a majority of voters for one or the other. </span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">Hope this provides a fair account of my decision.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">Kind regards, </span></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_6610813619488234678gmail-m_6806685924929967262gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#444444">Louise Marie Hurel</font></div><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><font color="#444444" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11px">Cybersecurity Project Coordinator | Igarapé Institute</span></font></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" color="#444444"><span style="font-size:11px">London School of Economics (LSE) Media and Communications (Data and Society)</span></font></p><div><font size="1" color="#444444">Skype: louise.dias</font></div><div><font size="1" color="#444444">+44 (0) 7468 906327</font></div><div><span style="font-size:x-small"><font color="#0000ff"><u><a href="mailto:l.h.dias@lse.ac.uk" target="_blank">l.h.dias@lse.ac.uk</a> </u></font></span><font size="1" color="#444444"><br></font></div><div><font size="1" color="#444444"><a href="mailto:louise.marie.hsd@gmail.com" target="_blank">louise.marie.hsd@gmail.com</a> </font></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 27 Aug 2018 at 18:43, Renata Aquino Ribeiro <<a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thank you Joan for your clarification.<br>
