group forming on IDN policy statements

[Norbert Klein]

Sorry to have been absent for while - sick after Puerto Rico, and traveling.

Now I am back in Cambodia - and of course interested in IDN affairs -
also in the small group developing statements on IDN Policy issues.

I will now be online regularly again.

 Once nominated, the nominee is responsible for public acceptance of the =
nomination and for making a public statement that includes:

1. Name, declared region of residence, gender and employment;

Wolfgang Kleinw=E4chter, Euzrope, Male, University of Aarhus, Department =
of Media and Informaiton Studies

2. Any conflicts of interest;

No conflicts. I am also chairing the Summer School on Internet =
Governance, the ICANN Studienkreis, I am involved in the IGF and EURODIG =
abd I am chairing the Council of Europe Cross Border Internet Expert =
Group. None of these organizations is involved with ICANN projects, but =
their interests and field of activities cover ICANN issues and are =
consistent with interestes of individual and non-commercial as those of =
NCSG.

3. Reasons for willingness to take on the tasks of the particular =
position;

I see the Internet as an open space wicz gives tremendous ipportunities =
to individual and non-commercial users and to the imp,ementation of =
basic human rights as the right to freedom of expression. Thos issues =
are touched by a lot of uitems under discussion in ICANN and in =
patricular in the GNSO Councuil. To bring the individual and =
non-com,mercial users perspective to this discussions is an impiortant =
element and would be my first priority. Participation in this excersize =
is also an important move twoards a further ebnhancement of the =
multistakeholder model as it is envisaged by ICANN under its new AoC. I =
believe I can help non-commercial Internet users to participate in those =
policy development processes.=20

4. Qualifications for the position;=20

I am invoved in Internet Governance issues since more than 20 years, =
mainly as an independen academic observer. O have participated in 39 out =
of 41 ICANN meetings and served in various capacities in a number of =
ICANN bodies, inter alia the NomCom, which I chaired in 2009/2010. I am =
also chairing an ALS (Medienstadt Leipzig e.V., which organizes, inter =
alia, the Summer School on Internet Governance/SSIG) a which is member =
of EURALO.  Insofar I have full insight into ICANN as an organisation =
and in its practices and procedures. I understand also very well the =
broader environment, thanks to my involvement in the World Summit on the =
Infotrmaiton Society and its follow ep. I was a co-founder and first =
chair of the CS IGC, a member of the WGIG, a special adviser to the =
chair of the IGF, a member of the new CSTD IGF Improvement working =
group. Since 2009 I am also chairing the Council of Europe Cross Broder =
Internet Expert Group.=20
=20
5. Statement of availability for the time the position requires.

As an academic person I am rather flexible in uasing my time for extra =
activities as a GNSO Council member, including  participating in =
face-to-face and telephonic meetings, working groups, and mailing list =
discussions.

I welcome any questions. =20

Thanks!
