Hi all,

My vote also goes to Anriette.
I'm certain that we will continue to benefit greatly from her experience
and expertise - ensuring representativeness, skills, and competence.

>> >> Firstly, thank you very much to NCUC for appointing me to the 2018

>> >>

>> to serve on NomCom not long after. In spite of not being at the first
>> meeting in Dubai I have been a very active member of NomCom and feel that
>> my contribution has made a positive difference.
>> >>
>> >> NomCom's role in ICANN is very important. NomCom has to identify
>> people for leadership that do not come through the constituency (or SO/AC)
>> track. This means we have to find people with excellent experience and
>> qualifications who can contribute to ICANN as a nonprofit, public interest
>> organisation that is community driven AND accountable more broadly for the
>> decisions it makes. NomCom candidates need to be 'non aligned' and bring
>> diversity of experience and perspectives, but also have the qualifications
>> and experience needed to operate in quite a tough environment.
>> >>
>> >> Why another term?
>> >>
>> >> My past experience and skillsets are particularly suited to the NomCom
>> role. I have served on many boards in the past (see my CV which is
>> attached) and have done a lot of recruitment. I am used to working in a
>> multistakeholder environment, and having to stand up for public interest
>> concerns and voice civil society perspectives in contexts where this is not
>> easy.  While I cannot represent NCUC in a direct manner as a NomCom member,
>> I believe I have been able to make sure that NCUC and NCSG priorities (as
>> communicated to NomCom by NCSG leadership) are considered seriously by
>> NomCom. NomCom is hard work, but it is work that I feel I can do
>> efficiently and effectively.
>> >>
>> >> Secondly, NomCom is a team of people that work together under a lot of
>> pressure and in quite a closed manner as much of what we discuss is
>> confidential. Learning to work together with efficiency, and trust and
>> respect takes time. Most members serve more than one term. This provides
>> some continuity which is very important. I feel that I learned a lot, about
>> NomCom, about the other SOs and ACs, about leadership in ICANN and that it
>> would be good to be able to apply this learning during a second term. I
>> also feel that my experience in working in teams, being part of boards, and
>> being part of collective decision-making processes (e.g. the IGF MAG) has
>> helped me to contribute to creating a productive working environment in
>> NomCom.
>> >>
>> >> Thirdly, I feel my work is not "finished".  I have  a specific goal to
>> focus on getting strong candidates from Africa and the MENA regions into
>> the selection process. It is not that I did not try this last year, or even
>> in the past  through other NomComs, but I feel I now have a better
>> understanding of how to address the challenge of getting strong candidates
>> from these regions into ICANN leadership positions. It is not that these
>> regions are the only underrepresented regions.. there are others, but
>> currently they are MORE under represented than most other regions. The
>> challenge is not so much to have large numbers of candidates from these
>> regions, but to get people that really meet the qualifications and that are
>> so strong that they can come through the initial selection phases of
>> NomCom. This means that the outreach has to be very focused, identifying
>> people that have the specific skills needed for specific leadership
>> positions.. not just people who are in general interested in taking a
>> leadership role in ICANN. I feel more able to do this well in a second
>> round on NomCom than I did during my first term.
>> >>
>> >> Finally, while the results are not yet public, I feel that  I managed
