Thu May 5 21:45:07 CEST 2022

Dear colleagues,

Please find my statement herwith;

Name: Ines Hfaiedh, Declared Region of residence: Africa, Gender: Female,
Employment: Teacher and  ICT Implementation in Education Specialist.

Conflicts of Interest : None

Why do you want to serve on the EC?
I hope to continue my second term on the NCUC Executive Committee in order
to contribute to the good running of the constituency in terms of members
engagement and active participation. I also wish to keep representing my
region Africa in the best way possible in the next EC team while welcoming
and assisting newcomers from my region.  I am confident that my academic,
civil society, technical and admini backgrounds in addition to my
experience as an EC would help me achieve these goals and contribute to the
well functioning of the constituency.

 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.
I am a teacher and recently promoted to Educational Counselor, in addition
to my specialisation in ICT Implementation in Education. I had the chance
to be a recipient of a number of prestigious scholarships and fellowships
among which was The Fulbright Fellowship which enabled me to study and be a
Teaching Assistant at the Catholic University of America in Washington DC,
USA. I am also a Diplo-certified Curator and Rapporteur and was among the
first cohort of Diplo-certified Online Moderators in 2020. I also lately
assisted UNDP New York in creating a course on Ecosystem restoration for
government officials.
My first experience as an ICANN Fellow introduced me to NCSG in general and
NCUC in particular and had the chance to be back as a Coach several times
where I introduced newcomers to NCUC before the actual meeting and during
their fellowship sessions. I have been in charge of the Secretariat of the
last two editions of ICANN's MEAC SIG (School of Internet Governance) I am
a member of ICANN’s Intercultural Awareness Program which we hope to bring
back its shine.
I had the chance to be a Guest Speaker and session organiser at a number of
local, regional nd global IGFs  and Booth Lead at IGF 2018 and Rightscon
2019. I was also a guest at several local, regional and international
conferences such as the World Bank Group Youth Summit on “Rethinking
Education for the next Millennium” and 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.

 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.

 I  do not see time limitations and concerns in performing the required
tasks for the EC team which enabled me to attend all EC calls and written
communication. Especially that with my new professional responsibility, I
enjoy more flexibility to organise my time in order to do extra activities
and pursue professional development opportunities.

 Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members
apprised of your EC-related activities?
In terms of communication, I have tried to use the NCUC Africa mailing list
in order to keep members up-dated on our EC-related activities as well as
news, call for comments. Also I have contributed to our NCUC website
ncuc.org with a cumilative report or blog on the African participation and
initiatives taken during the last IGF. I also hope  to reactivate our
Tweeter  which used to be quite active from the part of all ECs.

 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.
 NCUC has always been at the forefront of policy making processes within
ICANN. Its members at different stances have played a crucial role in
defending non-commercial users’ rights.  Now, with the new state of things
and changes within ICANN,  I believe that the constituency can do even more
in voicing the Non-Commercial Users concerns and defending their interests.
I also hope that we can keep a spirit of consultation and openess with our
membership and keep them informed of current discussions in order to feel
they have an impact on the discussions and for more efficiency in our
contributions as a constituency.
I thank you for this opportunity and looking forward to serving within the
EC team .
