> International Symposium on ICTs, the Tunisia TESOL National Conference and

> Morocco. The European Educational Tool Portal has shared my tool of
> 'Interactive ICT Implementation in Formal and Informal Learning' and
> selected it for the International Tool Fair in Budapest, Hungary. I also
> compiled ICT-enhanced lesson plans into a pedagogical paper.
> Two days ago, I was a guest at the World Bank Group Youth Summit on

> will be hopefully taking part in three panels including one in which I am
> the organizer.

> on a weekly and overall basis? Describe any concerns or limitations on your
> ability to attend online meetings of the Executive Committee and ICANN
> Meetings in person.
>
> For the EC responsibilities, and to put it in realistic numbers because I
> like committing to my words, I can dedicate up to 5 hours a week and will
> be actively involved in discussions and online meetings and any other task
> required for the role. Besides, I enjoy some flexibility to attend meetings
> in person as my employer encourages personal and professional development.
> This year, I have been able to attend ICANN 55, the Arab IGF, ICANN 58, and
> will be hopefully attending the Global IGF this coming December.
>
> 4         Communication with the membership is critical. How would you
> keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?
>
> I would keep members up-dated on our EC-related activities through our
> NCUC mailing list and live tweeting through our Tweeter account as well. I
> also wish to keep the members apprised on our events through the NCUC blog
> to which I contributed two blogs so far. Moreover, I would be happy to
> share opportunities as I have seen other members doing this and I hope this
> culture of sharing pervades.
>
> 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.
>
> I sincerely believe that NCUC is and has contributed effectively to the
> developments we have been witnessing in ICANN’s policy processes, as well
> as in the IANA transition. That said, I have an inspiration that NCUC steps
> up to the plate even more in voicing the Non-Commercial Users concerns and
> defending their interests.
> At ICANN 58, during the NCUC meeting with ICANN board, I have aired my
> concern of lack of strategy and support to NCUC members to act as
> multipliers within their respective communities (this must be my teacher
> and civil society side speaking) and that was brought to the table the
> following day by the board on the joint meeting, I hope and I am quite
> confident that my words had an impact and this will allow us a wider role
> as a constituency.
>
> If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or ask
> me tomorrow at the Conf Call and I am looking forward to actively
> collaborating with all of you.
>
> Kind Regards
>
