4. Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?
The Communications for the memberships is very important and it can be available through mailing list and regular announcements.  I will inform NCUC members about different calls for proposals and funding  for the African and other IG-related events in the world.
5. How do you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing in the future? What areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention and why? Incumbent candidates should answer in a manner that is both backward and forward looking, i.e. taking note of their contributions and work in the previous year.

NCUC as a structure provides a platform where civil society in ICANN can articulate the voices and perspectives of no commercial users. It offers representation to civil society or the non profits and humanizes the technical aspects in communicating users rights
I promise to continue to raise issues with NCUC policy and rules. I need to raise the issues in Cyber security, especially in Social Security ( protections of children from the dangers of Internet). We have to continue engaging in the GNSO PDP process.
I shall pressure to see new faces in ICANN Board Members especially in developing countries. 
. NCUC should continue to articulate users rights in all aspects, and raise this voice in ICANN. I humbly request you NCUC members to endorce my candidature by giving me your vote,  and look forward to all of us reinforcing NCUC efforts in ICANN.
