I am writing to formally introduce myself and share a bit of the aspirations for NCUC.<br><br>As the NCUC chair, I will be responsible for increasing member engagement and participation of our constituency at the ICANN multistakeholder space.<br>I hope to be the interface between members and the other sections of the community.I will bring issues that need your contribution to your attention.<br>It is my expectation that we will participate more actively in the policy development processes to maintain the stability of DNS as we have always done.<br><br>I hope to amplify our participation in ICANN activities and discussion online more than before as virtual engagement has come to stay.<br>There is a dire demand for us to become more intentional about the use of the available online tools, such as NCUC website, twitter, facebook and zoom platforms for our engagements.<br><br>I am eager to work directly with members with online influence to amplify discourse on the topics of interests to our community. I am looking forward to working with the NCUC-EC, Brenda and Andrea to serve the community.<br><br>I can see the NCUC EC and ICANN support team doing great work.<br><br>It is obvious that volunteer fatigue and burnout are real, and virtual ICANN has also dampened momentum, but we can not give up now, I call on all members to<br>endeavor to participate and contribute their little portion, especially veterans and newbies alike.<br><br>This is a learning opportunity for me and I hope to grow in this capacity.<br><br>I want to thank Maryam once more for all her support to our community and welcome Andrea. Also Thank Brenda for her continuous support.<br><br>I also like to thank everyone who voted in the last elections to select the new leadership. I look forward to working with everyone for the advancement of NCUC.<br><br><br>I’d like to share some details about myself.<br>I am currently conducting my PhD research studies in Informatics at the Namibia University of Science and Technology,I was the immediate NCUC-EC Africa representative.<br>My career experience has been in digital health in public health in Nigeria and some parts of Africa while my ICANN experience started as recently as 2014.
