<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi all,<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I just wanted to express my interest in representing NCUC in
the NCSG Finance Committee for the coming term as I believe that the work that
has started needs to be completed. In this role I have been working with FC and
community members to finalise the FC Operational Procedures which is a serious
exercise, especially with limited number of volunteers. The work of the FC has
been faced with challenges due to diverse views of community and committee members
in regard to functions, autonomy and authority of the FC within NCSG.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The FC during the current term, worked on ABR analysis and
started developing reference document like action plans and summaries of ABRs.
During the coming term, I intend to ensure that this committee opens
participation for more volunteers and members to participate in this committee which
is still at its early phases. The planned work streams or tracks include CIVI
CRM, Auction Proceeds, ICANN, IANA/PTI budgets and plans, Reserve fund and fundraising
amongst other priorities, I believe this will create another alternative for
community members to participate and get involved within NCSG activities and
committees.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Personally,
I have participated in ICANN Africa regional
strategy, ICANN budget and plans community comments and helped
facilitate draft
of comments on the ICANN Africa Strategy, IANA/PTI budget and plans,
including
the first FC Operational Procedures. I also intend to make the FC more
visible
within the community as the first term was centred around a firm
establishment
of the Finance Committee structure, procedures and understanding the
nature and extend of involved activities. I have coordinated NCUC
outreach
pre ICANN59, managed NCUC stall at IGF2017, represented the FC in
ICANN62 and
will again be representing the committee during ICANN64.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I am a qualified financial accountant with over 5-years’
experience in managing finances and budgets in civil society. I plan to ensure
that resources are always sufficient for membership management systems, policy
development, capacity building, outreach and other community and committee related
activities. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I hope the NCUC EC will give me another opportunity to
contribute to activities of the Finance Committee and represent NCUC as I also
intend to intensify engagement of constituencies and the NCSG committees in
order to enable mainstreaming of the FC within NCSG activities.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Previous experience in financial administration, management and budgeting:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Procter and Gamble (Market Research Administrator, 2008 - 2009 )<br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Soweto Wireless USer Group (Treasure and Fiancial Director, 2010 - 2015)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">ABSA, Fiancial institution (Financial Administrator/Debtor Finance 2010) <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Internet Society South Africa Gauteng Chapter (2017 to date)<br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Should you require additional information, please do not hesitate to let me know, thanks</p>
