[Hfaiedh Ines]

Dear colleagues,

Please find my statement of interest for my final term as NCUC EC Africa
Representative;

Name: Ines Hfaiedh, Declared Region of residence: Africa, Gender: Female,
Employment: Educational Counselor

Conflicts of Interest : None


Why do you want to serve on the EC?

I hope to finish my 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 am confident that my academic,
civil society, technical and admini backgrounds in addition to my previous
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 an 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 . I am also a Diplo-certified
Curator and Rapporteur and was among the first cohort of Diplo-certified
Online Moderators. I also  assisted UNDP New York in creating a course on
Ecosystem restoration for government officials.
I wish to keep representing my region Africa in the best way possible in
the EC team while welcoming and assisting newcomers from my region to
navigate NCUC in particular and ICANN world in geberal.  I have also been
in charge of the Secretariat of two editions of ICANN's MEAC SIG (School of
Internet Governance) I am also a member of ICANN’s Intercultural Awareness
Program.
I had the chance to be a Guest Speaker and session organiser at a number of
local, regional and global IGFs and a guest at several local, regional and
international conferences dealing with human rights accesdibility and
digital inclusion.

 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 enjoy some flexibility in my regular which allows/allowed me so far to
attend in person targeted meetings and events to fulfill my EC tasks. So I
can say that i can commit the adequate time for my EC role.

 Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members
apprised of your EC-related activities?
Communication is indeed key in our EC role and 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 with
some reports or blogs on different events or initiatives especially taking
place in the african continent. Also post icann meetings Readouts have been
a great opportunity for our members to have the most important pieces of
informations about policy discussions at NCUC level.

 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 members at different levels have been playing a crucial role in
defending non-commercial users’ rights.  Now, with policy and remit 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 .
