>>> For the past two years, though with different employers: The Tunisian

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> With my experience as EC for the past year, the membership deserves
>>> concrete examples of ways I have kept NCUC members updated on our
>>> activities. I have frequently used NCUC mailing list with live links of our
>>> ICANN sessions and outreach events. I also live tweeted through my personal
>>> account that I shared to the list. I have also written a report on the 2017
>>> NCPH Intersessional and another on NCUC Participation to the 2017 Middle
>>> East DNS Forum. Previously, I had contributed with two blogs on the Tunis
>>> Middle East DNS Forum. Moreover, I have shared opportunities, news and
>>> articles on the mailing list. I have also recently organized a Webinar for
>>> NCUC Africa members and wish to carry on that initiative.

>>>
>>> 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.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Ever since I joined NCUC, I have been witnessing that our constituency
>>> is doing most of the policy work and has contributed effectively to the
>>> development we have been witnessing in ICANN’s policy processes. That said,
>>> I believe that there should be some sort of “Onboarding Policy Training”
>>> for many members, including myself, who have the potential but lack
>>> training to step up to the plate and suggest policies or draft comments. I
>>> would love NCUC's experienced members and the Policy Comittee collaboration
>>> on that track. I am confident that this would bring much more diversity in
>>> ideas and inclusiveness.
>>>
>>> Besides, I am suggesting that, together with NCUC members, we work on a
>>> second track to help their Executive Comittee adopt mechanisms for
>>> Transparency and Accountability.
>>>
>>> On Transparency for instance, I commit myself to updating NCUC Africa
>>> members on EC activities and topics we are working on, in the form of a
>>> blog or as a briefing at the beginning of our regional webinars. I really
>>> hope to sustain an atmosphere of consultation and dialogue among Africa
>>> members.
>>>
>>> On Accountability, I would like to continue on the spirit of respecting
>>> procedures and NCUC Bylaws. In that sense, I will continue to work for the
>>> fair treatment of all NCUC members in terms of due process and equality of
>>> chances.  I will be of course representing Africa and voicing its needs,
>>> but will work towards all of NCUC membership’s benefit.
>>>
>>> These are the commitments I am making to you today and that will stay
>>> for the record, and as most of you know me in person, I can’t make any
>>> unrealistic promises or suggest initiatives that are not within NCUC’s
>>> mandate just for the sake of elections.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me or ask me
>>> tomorrow at the ConfCall and I am looking forward to actively collaborating
>>> with all of you.
