more about the policy making processes within NCUC/NCSG/GNSO and beyond within the ICANN community broadly and hence become more aware and confident in contributing to policy development activities such public comment, policy statements, working groups and
even mentor newcomers in our constituency. I am particularly interested in representing the NCUC because it is the only constituency offering space for the non-for-profit NGO, civil society and Internet end users. In fact, everyone in one way or another is
an Internet user before any other capacity being it in Government, Business, etc.. But people seem not to estimate the voices of the non-for-profit and non-commercial uses and users of the Internet, this is the motivation for me to join this constituency in
order to contribute on my capacity as an Internet end user and make sure the Internet is respecting human rights (online protection, privacy and cybersecurity.)</span></p>
