[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nomination EC LAC Antonella Perini

Wed Sep 19 20:16:10 CEST 2018

Dear all,

I am pleased to accept Claudio’s nomination. Below you will find my
*Statement*. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

About Me

I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am an associate researcher at Asuntos
del Sur, a think tank that seeks to generate ideas and actions to promote
more inclusive and participatory democracies in Latin America. My area of
research focuses on political innovation, especially innovative experiences
coming from civil society and the role of digital technologies as tools for
change. I also coordinate the Academy of Political Innovation, an online
platform with training programs for political and social leaders focusing
on the demands and technological capabilities of the digital age. As part
of my work, I have experience expanding networks of non-commercial actors
and articulating their initiatives.

I hold a degree in International Relations from University of San Andrés
(Argentina) and a Master’s Degree in International Relations Europe - Latin
America from University of Bologna. I have been engaged with Internet
Governance issues since late 2015. Since then I have followed and taken
capacity building workshops (including internet governance schools) and I
have participated in national, regional and international IGFs. These
experiences helped me not only understand the Internet Governance-related
issues but also how people can be involved and interact with other
stakeholders and within their stakeholder groups.

Experience in ICANN

I first got involved with ICANN during ICANN58, where I was a fellow.
Immediately after my first meeting, I became an NCUC member and I had the
chance to follow the Diversity subgroup at the Cross-Community Working
Group on Accountability WS2. This year during ICANN62 I was NCUC mentee
where I made a short presentation on why is the open data initiative
important for strengthening diversity. Part of this presentation -as well
as my experience during ICANN62- is at NCUC Blog Post:
https://www.ncuc.org/2018/07/30/whats-beyond-whois-compliance-to-gdpr/.
Being concerned about this issue, I helped the team in charge of writing
the Draft Comment on Open Data Initiative Datasets and Metadata. During
ICANN62 I also had the chance to participate at the NCSG/NCUC/NPOC Capacity
Building Face-to-Face Course.

Goals and proposals

For a couple of months, I have been looking for opportunities to engage
deeper with NCUC activities and I found this an opportunity to increase my
involvement and commitment. Furthermore, serving the NCUC Executive
Committee as the LAC Region representative would also prove to be central,
on the one hand, to my advocacy goals for the democratization of internet
policies and, on the other hand, to my personal and professional interests
of helping expand the Latin American network of people engaged in internet
governance. Barriers to entry and diversity are some of my concerns and I
would be honored to work towards reducing such barriers and that region
voices prevail and gain deeper involvement. I have been both ICANN fellow
and NCUC mentee, two experiences that helped me gain an insight of the work
that has been done so far but also how newcomers perceive and experience
such instances and how could they make the most of them.

As regards proposals towards strengthening the participation of LAC
members, I strongly believe that there are some key actions:

Outreach. Reach out to civil society groups and potentially interested
individuals in Latin America in order to both communicate what we do at
NCUC and how they can get involved (eg. through mails, outreach
activities), as well as building bridges between their
activities/discussions and NCUC LAC members. Secondly, I’d keep promoting
reaching out to ICANN newcomers who relate to non-commercial interests and
are not yet members.

In-reach. I would like to continue the work that has been done during the
terms of the past representatives as regards communication. That means,
actively communicating LAC members how to get involved, what are the main
tasks that would require representation and help, what are the main
advances within NCUC and being responsive to their concerns. Last but not
least, I believe it is important to enable interactions between LAC members
and liaise LAC members with other members of the community that could help
them become more active.

I am really looking forward to this process and as I've written before, if
you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out :)

Antonella.
