[NCUC-DISCUSS] 2020 NCUC Executive Committee Nomination Process Opens Tomorrow, Thursday, May 14, 2020

[Maryam Bakoshi]

Dear all,

The NCUC Executive Committee nomination process starts tomorrow Thursday, May 14, 2020.

You can self-nominate or nominate someone starting May 14, 2019 - May 28, 2020. Candidates must respond to the NCUC discuss mailing list with the following:


Candidate Statement
 * Name, declared region of residence, gender and employment;
 * Any conflicts of interest;
Questions:

  *   Why do you want to serve on the EC?
  *   Provide a brief biography of recent experience, associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive Committee. Describe the relevance of your personal and professional experience to serve on the NCUC Executive Committee, and identify any conflicts of interests you might have.
  *   The EC performs several functional responsibilities for the Constituency. What level of time commitment can you bring to your EC role 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.
  *   Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?
  *    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.
The statements should be relatively concise, e.g. a couple paragraphs per question

The positions to be filled are:

1. Chair [held by Bruna Martins dos Santos - eligible for re-election]
2. EC – Europe [currently held by Louise Marie Hurel, ineligible for re-election]
3. EC - Africa [currently held by Benjamin Akimoyeje, eligible for re-election]
4. EC – Asia/Australia/Pacific [currently held by Mili Semlani, eligible for re-election]
5. EC – North America [currently held by Michael Karanicolas, ineligible for re-election]
6. EC – Latin America/Caribbean [currently held by Franco Giandana, eligible for re-election]
NCUC EC really needs committed volunteers who are willing to donate a few hours a week to collaborate in order to help ensure that civil society's voice is heard in ICANN. The EC’s responsibilities are administrative management, in-reach and outreach, and interfacing with ICANN’s staff and community as needed. NCUC Chair has also several duties and roles to fulfil. If you think that you or someone you know would be well suited to the tasks involved, then please consider nominating accordingly.
