Reasons for willingness to take on the particular position?
Would like to assist in the growth of the noncommercial community and

decisions.  I share many policy objectives with the NCSG membership  
including the protection of fundamental human rights, broadening  
ICANN's participation to new and under-served communities, and the  
recognition of the free and open Internet as a key resource to  
empowering people and improving our lives.

Served as NCSG Chair for one year, and before that NCUC Chair for 2  
years; and before that GNSO Councilor for 4 years representing

I will make myself available for the approximately 20+ hours a week  
(on average) of time this volunteer position requires.
