[NCUC-DISCUSS] Ines Hfaiedh. Nomination as NCUC Chair

Fri May 24 17:47:34 CEST 2024

Hello Ines,
Thank you for your statement. We noticed that your statement does not
mention any specific policies or ICANN working groups. Could you elaborate
on some of the achievements, outreach programs, or training initiatives
you've been involved in as the Africa representative? Considering the NCUC
role involves deep engagement and a thorough understanding of ICANN's
complexities, your insights would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

> Starting from September, I should be even more flexible after my official

>  Besides, "Readouts" taking place online post icann meetings have been a
> great opportunity for our NCUC members to have the most important pieces of
> information and updates about policy discussions at NCUC and NCSG levels
> through inviting keynote speakers.
> This is in addition to taking part in outreach activities onsite at
> meetings, networking with community members and introducing NCUC to fellows

> I do not foresee a change in NCUC role as it has always been pivotal in

> This program used to assist newcomers onboard on policy discussions with

> In this regard, I hope to reactivate the policy course with more updated
