>>>>> *My experience and activities at NCUC and NCSG *
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> I have been involved in the NCUC and NCSG since 2014, both in policy,
>>>>> administrative and outreach work and activities:
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *a)    **On policy level,* my work mainly has been focusing on the
>>>>> human rights issues related to ICANN’s policies and procedures, with some
>>>>> special focus on data protection and privacy & WHOIS and RAA and freedom of
>>>>> expression and new gTLDs. This work has started with the writing of the report
>>>>> on ICANN & Human Rights[1]
>>>>> <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_9104333971675996630__ftn1> commissioned
>>>>> by the Council of Europe, then working with the NCUC member organization
>>>>> Article 19 in producing another 2 reports on ICANN and Human Rights,
>>>>> [2] <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_9104333971675996630__ftn2> which
>>>>> in turn have provided a platform for the creation of the Cross-Community
>>>>> Working Party on ICANN’s Corporate and Social Responsibility to Respect
>>>>> Human Rights, as well as GAC’s Working Group on International Law and Human
>>>>> Rights.
>>>>>
>>>>> In addition to this work, I have also been working on data protection,
>>>>> RAA & WHOIS issues externally outside ICANN – in trying to attract
>>>>> attention and involvement of privacy watchdogs in ICANN’s policy making
>>>>> processes. E.g., together with NCUC colleague Stephanie Perrin we have
>>>>> attended meetings of the *International Working Group on Data
>>>>> Protection in Telecommunications* where we have discussed data
>>>>> protection and privacy issues with the Data Protection Commissioners. This
>>>>> line of work seeking to involve Data Protection Commissioners in ICANN’s
>>>>> privacy and data protection issues have been gaining a momentum, with the
>>>>> coming into force of the GDPR.
>>>>>
>>>>> In addition to data protection and privacy, currently I am also
>>>>> working on the three academic articles and a policy report on the UDRP
>>>>> procedures and due process & freedom of expression issues for the upcoming
>>>>> review of the UDRP in the part 2 of the RPM PDP. Kathy Kleiman and Robin
>>>>> Gross have been very generous in providing initial feedback. This work
>>>>> is ready for presenting to NCUC colleagues to comment and discuss best
>>>>> strategy how to use it in the PDP in a way most beneficial to the NCUC
>>>>> interests, and I am planning to share it after a the end of Year break.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *b)  **On administrative level,* I have been serving on the NCSG EC
>>>>> for the past two years, and with our colleagues from NPOC have been
>>>>> regularly overseeing the new membership applications, overseeing the NCSG
>>>>> elections and nominating alternates for the GNSO councillors. We have also
>>>>> drafted document on the NCSG member removal procedures, as well as have
>>>>> been engaged in election reform work.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *c)    **On outreach and awareness raising level,* I have been
>>>>> actively promoting and raising awareness about the NCUC and our activities
>>>>> at various academic and multistakeholder conferences related to Internet
>>>>> policy and digital rights, such as, e.g., Cybercrime, Cybersecurity
>>>>> Conference in Delhi in November 2018, the APrIGF in Vanuatu August 2018,
>>>>> AuIGF, the CPDP in Brussels in January 2016, and the APrIGF in Taipei in
>>>>> July 2016. At such conferences and fora, not only I have been actively
>>>>> networking and spreading the information about NCUC generally, but have
>>>>> also convened and moderated specific panels on NCUC focus areas of work,
>>>>> such as, e.g., data protection and privacy and WHOIS and RAA, free speech
>>>>> and new gTLDs; inviting NCUC members to speak at those events and connect
>>>>> with broader Internet/privacy communities. E.g, in the CPDP conference in
>>>>> January in Brussels in 2016, there were 4 other NCUC members on the
>>>>> ‘Internet Infrastructure & Human Rights’ panel: Stefania Milan, Stephanie
>>>>> Perrin, Niels ten Oever and Corrine Cath. Together with Farzaneh Badii and
>>>>> Rafik Dammak we also convened a special outreach session at ICANN’s office
>>>>> at that occasion.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> In addition to organizing several such panels well as various
>>>>> discussions and roundtables, a special issue on ‘Internet Architecture and
>>>>> Human Rights’ of the journal 'Policy & Internet,' published by Oxford
>>>>> Internet Institute, is in the workings and will be published in print in
>>>>> 2019 (separate articles published earlier online): co-edited by me and NCUC
>>>>> member and former GNSO Councillor, Dr. Stefania Milan, and which includes
>>>>> contributions from our NCUC members Milton Mueller and Farzi Badii
>>>>> (accepted), Niels ten Oever (accepted), and hopefully Stephanie Perrin (not
>>>>> yet confirmed)
>>>>>
>>>>> As next year, the APrIGF will be held in Russia, in addition to
>>>>> actively participating and convening panels at the main APrIGF event, with
>>>>> some academic colleagues working on Internet Governance, we are planning
>>>>> the academic pre-conference, the focus of which will be academic input to
>>>>> the Internet policy and the NCUC work. Hopefully, the pre-conference will
>>>>> allow to attract more academics from the Asia-Pacific region to join NCUC
>>>>> and our work on the DNS policy.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *Experience carrying out NCSG EC tasks*
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> I have been serving on the NCSG EC for the past two years and in
>>>>> addition to experience of carrying out routine tasks, such as membership
>>>>> applications, these two years have also provided opportunity for some rarer
>>>>> experience of dealing with internal disagreements/different interpretations
>>>>> of rules regarding the NCSG elections (in particular, NOTA rules), and some
>>>>> subsequent appeals and processes to solve such appeals. On top of the
>>>>> routine task and supervision of the election, I have also been involved in
>>>>> drafting of the document for the NCSG member removal procedures, election
>>>>> reform work, as well as the creation of the new NCSG member database.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *Things I want to do to improve our representation on NCSG EC.*
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> During my term on the NCSG EC, in order to improve representation of
>>>>> the NCUC members on the NCSG EC, I am determined to:
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 1.)  Improve communication, transparency and accountability of the
>>>>> NCSG EC towards:
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> a)    *NCUC members: *I will prepare and release general
>>>>> informational summary reports of the NCSG EC teleconferences held monthly
>>>>> to the NCUC members listing the agenda of issues discussed and decisions
>>>>> that have been made; this should allow for increased transparency and
>>>>> accountability of the NCSG EC towards our members.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> b)    *NCUC EC:  *Improve communication between NCSG EC (NCUC's reps
>>>>> there) and NCUC EC and Chair: draft regular e-mail to the NCUC EC on
>>>>> important issues discussed in the NCSG EC (discussing more strategic
>>>>> issues/decision to be made in the future for the NCUC than in the
>>>>> informational summaries to all the members) and potentially propose an
>>>>> online meetings/calls between NCUC members on the NCSG EC and NCUC EC when
>>>>> needed.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 2.)  Work on creating and documenting the processes that have been
>>>>> sometimes been dealt with in an *ad hoc* manner within NCSG, such as
>>>>> NCSG members removal procedures and elections.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> *My Availability and Willingness to Participate*
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Faculty of Law at the UNSW Sydney
>>>>> and in addition to ongoing research into Internet governance and digital
>>>>> rights, I am teaching courses on ‘Surveillance, Security and Democracy’ and
>>>>> ‘Internet Governance and Human Rights’ at the UNSW Sydney in 2019. My
>>>>> schedule is fairly flexible and I am available to participate in regular
>>>>> teleconferences and in discussions on the NCSG-EC mailing list regarding
>>>>> NCSG-EC. I am also available for any other discussions needed to advance
>>>>> the goals and work of NCUC and the NCSG-EC.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> I hope that my determined involvement in NCUC and NCSG work, both in
>>>>> policy, administrative work and outreach activities, places me in a good
>>>>> position to represent NCUC on NCSG EC.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> Sincerely Yours,
