[NCUC-DISCUSS] Nomination of Bruna Martins dos Santos

Wed Sep 19 21:22:41 CEST 2018

Dear all,

I hereby submit my candidate statement for further consideration.

Experience in ICANN

My involvement with ICANN is rather recent as it started with ICANN58 as a
first time fellow and I attended every meeting since then. One week prior
to the Copenhagen meeting I had the chance to participate at the NCUC
session at the Internet Freedom Festival that later resulted with me as an
NCUC member. After the Copenhagen meeting, I continued to engage with our
Constituency and was offered the opportunity to attend ICANN59 as an NCUC
fellow. Other than that it is worth mentioning that I have served as
Fellowship coach for ICANN 60, 61 and 62.  Last november I was elected as
the representative for the Latin American and Caribbean region at the
Executive Committee and in June of the present year I was assigned the
Vice-Chair position. In light of NCUC's previous chair recent resignation I
have also been acting as chair due to the vacancy of the position.

Regarding public comments and PDPs, I am a member of the New gTLD
subsequent procedures PDP WG, an observer at the new gTLD Auction Proceeds
CCWG and recently joined the CCWP Human Rights. I have also contributed to
the NCSG's Public Comment contribution to the GNSO Community Comment 2
(CC2) on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process and am
one of the penholders of the NCSG input to the Initial report on the New
gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process .

NCUC and goals

As for my visions regarding NCUC and how my participation would be useful,
given the fact that my affinity with the group and what it advocates for, I
believe in making it even more participative through a few measures:

1. Communication: I think it would be important for better communicate all
the ways NCUC is acting in the different regions. Having said that, the
idea is to continue to foster all the information channels of our
constituency in order to improve the dialogue between NCUC leadership team
and members. Sharing information on how to get involved as well as the
initiatives carried by our members is a way to do it.

2. Outreach-inreach: given the fact that NCUC members are a representative
fraction of the internet governance community in all the different regions
of the globe, I think it is of utter importance for them to know who else
is alongside them and who they could reach out to in any subject they wish;
 Therefore, if I were elected I'd also like to continue with her members
calls and activities regarding the mailing list in order to strengthen
NCUC's relation with the less present regions, with the help of the EC.

3. Policy work and Capacity Building: Improving NCUC member's participation
in policy work is something I value and have been committed to at the EC
level.  Therefore, it is super important to continue to work closely with
the NCSG PC representatives in order to build capacity within the
constituency and become even more participative in echoing the CS voices in
policy related discussions. In that point, I think that as a Constituency
we could reach higher levels of participation once the right bridging
between incoming members and PDP active members is done - for that specific
point one idea would be to strengthen some initiatives and opportunities
available such as the *Buddy/Mentor program* and the *Policy Writing
Capacity Building Course*.

Despite the fact that my active participation at ICANN and NCUC is quite
recent, Internet Governance is not a new subject to me. I can state that I
will try my best to serve our Constituency and members expectations in
order to become a good chair - especially due to the fact that Im willing
to advocate for a more inclusive and equal Internet and will also have the
will of continuing to pursue NCUC's participation within the IG community.
