This means that I am extremely well aware of the NCSG broadly and NCUC in particular. I am also a three time ICANN Fellow, and while my official attempt to join NCUC is very recent, I have been, unofficially, a supporter and a champion of NCSG. I am very familiar with the ICANN bylaws, GNSO Operating Procedures and the NCSG Charter, by design. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have championed the creation and role of large consensus-based committees to solve thorny policy problems. While I am currently involved in a few projects, such as my upcoming PostDoc position at NYU, an international project on content moderation, and a few smaller US-based projects, I would be committed to the NCSG EC position and would dedicate specific time to join conferences, deal with membership applications, and spend time on the mailing list.
