Dear EC,
Once closed our candidatures period, we are now to deliberate on who is
receiving the crop slot for ICANN65. In the end we received 6 applications,
that I now submit to your deliberation.
Considering that we are a few days late (this should have been announced on
the 23rd) due to me being a little busy with work, Im setting a new
deadline for the 27th of april (but if we could decide before that it would
be great).
Therefore, here goes the candidates and their applications.
And apologies for the v. long email. In case you want to make comments, I
also assembled these applications on a google docs
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19gQJ_NnAwWGjP0W8VYC2pFhGkoH04vq1SmQaZFV_Uok/edit#>
.
Best,

1. Khouzeifi Issakha;
Statement to candidate for NCUC CROP sponsored traveler for ICANN65 to be
held in
Marrakech, 24-27 June 2019
My name is KHOUZEIFI Issakha Doud-bane, born on 29th September, 1992 in
Chad. Young man of 26 years old, I completed my master degree in new
economy and sustainable development in April 2018, in France.
In my responsibility of President of MAG Youth IGF Chad, I have been
working on New Technologies for Information and Communication (NTIC) to
promote the achievement of sustainable development in Chad. Beside to that,
we work to fight cyber security and criminality.
Because in Africa and especially in Chad, many people particularly young
people are victims on this phenomena and crime.
I am also an active member of the following institutions: Internet Society
of Chad (ISOC Chapter Chad), Internet Engineering Touch Force (IETF),
Internet Governance Forum of Chad/Africa (IGF Chad/Africa), A (ACIS), ICANN
Francophone ...
I attended many forums onsite and online respectively IGF Paris 12-14th
November 2019, ICANN60, 61... and this time, I am motived and decide to
attend onsite this coming ICANN65 to be held in Marrakech, 24-27 June 2019.
It is a pleasure to attend such an even where many people coming from all
around the world take place. It is an opportunity to meet NCUC member, all
ICANN staff is possible...
Member of NCUC for almost two years, I am really interested to be involved
further within NCUC and NCSG. E-platforms and Task Force on NCUC Procedural
Rules are important programs but I would prefer NCUC Buddy Pilot Program to
be involved in. As far as one can see, people are motived to be involved,
to be part of working groups but there is always lack of orientation vise a
vise newcomers. Therefore, I would like to learn more about ICANN, NCUC,
and NCSG... to become a buddy to guide and orient newcomers to contribute,
especially young newcomers 18-30 years old. I promise to be an active
member of any ad hoc working team to contribute to achieve the goals. I
would like to review that program which is initiated to let
young people get involved and share their ideas and learn within ICANN and
NCUC.
Current reservation:
Lyon-Casablanca- Marrakech, 22nd -23rd June 2019.
Marrakech-Casablanca-Lyon, 28th -29th June 2019.
Best regards,
KHOUZEIFI Issakha Doud-bane

Dear Bruna,
I would be pleased to be considered for a travel fellowship to attend
ICANN65 to be held in Marrakech, 24-27 June 2019.
I seek to participate in this ICANN policy meeting to join the NCUC reps to
advocate for the positioning and interest of the Noncommercial User
Constituency during the policy discussions. It would also be a meeting to
better interact to know more about the values of NCUC in the ICANN
environment and to explain the NCUC values to stakeholders that grace the
meeting. During this meeting,
I plan to attend the ICANN PDP related session especially that of ePDP
activities, NCUC, NCSG and ATLARGE sessions. Also, I look forward to attend
session on gTLD, RDS, Internet governance, WHOIS, Domain name, Right
protection mechanism (privacy) and open data as related to ICANN
environment.
As an active member of the NCUC and NCSG, have been a regular attendee of
the monthly calls, benefited from policy training, hold pen as well as
co-drafter public comments while actively engaging on the mailing
lists e.g ICANN

4. Joan Katambi
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I hereby submit my application to be considered for the NCUC CROP funding
to attend ICANN65 in Marrakech. I have joined NCUC in 2018 after my ICANN61
fellowship in Puerto Rico. Since then I have had ICANN and NCUC outreach
activities in my institution and other communities. I have also been
following and attending the online meeting discussions to understand the
rules of procedures as regards to the Interpretation for Human Rights with
regards to the internet. I also participated in last year’s election
process of NCUC.
I have also been following Internet Governance related meetings and
participated as a panelist in the Uganda Internet Governance Forum in 2018
sharing experiences as a fellow discussing issues related to who controls
and governs the internet, what is the role of Governments, Academia, Civil
society, Technical community as regards to the Multistakeholderism in the
Internet Governance.
During the ICANN64 in Kobe I had chance to meet with the Vice President
Africa Engagement office one of the issues discussed were; how can we
Improve regional participation within ICANN and the region, I want to take
the lead to champion this through Capacity Building programs to create more
awareness in particular promoting our work and what we do as NCUC under the
GNSO. I believe I can be very useful in outreach and capacity building
initiatives, as an Assistant Lecturer at the Uganda Institute of
Information and Communications Technology I have already started to do,
since it is part of my everyday job and it is also something I've been
doing for some time now in several communities.
Furthermore, As a new comer I want to attend this meeting in order to
understand how Polices are discussed in detail for example how to identify
an issue, the scope of the issue and when do you initiate the Policy
Development process for the issue. I also ask to be assigned a mentor in
order to understand the Policy topics and learn more. Am interested in
being part of the following groups; GNSO Review Working Group, Review of
all Rights Protection Mechanisms in all gTLDs, New gTLD subsequent
procedures PDP and GNSO Bylaws implementation drafting Team.
I plan to volunteer in mentoring the future new comers, join NCUC Buddy
Pilot program and take on more training programs within the NCUC or NCSG.
I am also interested in working with NCUC members to prepare content that
could be made available through the ICANN Learn platform about the NCUC
constituency in particular, so they could serve as a tool for fellow
members willing to raise awareness and bring in new community members.
I have read and understood the NCUC travel policy and promise to abide by
the rules and regulations. Attached is my CV for information.
Name: Katambi Joan
Departure From Entebbe Uganda: 23 / June/2019

Dear Chair,
I am writing to apply for travel sponsorship to attend the ICANN 65
Marakech meeting on the 24th-27,June 2019.
My name is Benjamin Akinmoyeje, a member of NCUC, I hope my application is

I hope to depart Windhoek, Namibia to arrive Marrakech, Morocco on the
22nd June 2019 and leave Marrakech on the 28th June 2019, to arrive
Windhoek.Namibia.
My major interest in attending the Marrakech meeting is to participate in
the policy development process, as it is going to be Policy Forum.
One of my main reason to engage actively in the EPDP Phase 2 .
I have been following the development around The Unified Access Model, for
the new proposed WHOIS access for authenticated users with legitimate
interests. I also hope to engage in the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross -
Community Working Group activities at this meeting.
My interest is also around the NCUC outreach event, as this ICANN is
happening in Africa , region - it will be a strategic opportunity to
recruit vibrant NCUC Outreach event. Participate in New Buddy program, get
to see face to face with some of my mentees and also help NCUC to recruit
valuable members as a NCUC membership engagement Team. I also hope to
engage my NPOC PC member to engage in drafting some of our comments to the
call for public comments.
NCSG
As it is an ICANN meeting holding in Africa it is another opportunity to
engage actively with the ICANN Africa strategic plan I also look forward to
advocating for the Africa ICANN engagement getting empowered for more
activities in the African region.
In additional to the listed engagement above, I hope to join the following
working group.
In the long term, I hope to work with other stakeholders in my university
and Windhoek Internet Governance Space, to setup DNS Aware workshop,
Cybersecurity especially DNSSEC and IPv6 Awareness and capacity building
events to Namibia University of Science and Technology students. I also
hope to create awareness about NCUC as end users constituents of the
Multi-stakeholder approach in the decision around Internet governance.
I have also built my capacity in by taken almost all the courses available
on ICANN learn, while taking time to read up the post ICANN 64 report. I
hope to continue learning and developing my capacity by following the
routine calls and engage regularly with members of the ICANN community. My
short term plan is also going to include the posting of a blog on NCUC and
my personal blog that will include sharing the story with a wider audience.
I will be interested in participating in participating in any Policy

Dear Chair,
I would like to apply for this new travel support opportunity to attend
ICANN 65 meeting in
Marrakech - Morocco.
In fact, attending an ICANN meeting is a fantastic opportunity. Firstly,
there is no better place than ICANN meeting to discuss key topics and
issues related to Internet security, safety, stability and resilience. For
me, it is just the best place because of the diversity of the participants:
various Supporting Organizations, Stakeholder Groups, Working Groups,
Advisory Committees, private sector, governments as well as civil society,
all coming from around the world.
I can imagine how interesting it is to interact with such kind of great
people. On the other hand, attending the event physically helps to better
engage in the meetings and 100% dedicate to the sessions. Unfortunately,
this is hard to achieve when you are remotely following the sessions via
the Adobe connect tool. I followed ICANN58, 59, 62, 63 and 64 remotely and
I can testify how hard it is to be fully dedicated: time zone constraints,
unstable Internet connectivity, agenda conflicts, …
As an active member of IGB at NET association and Internet Society Benin
Chapter, two major associations promoting ICT and Internet development in
Benin, I am highly engaged in various activities which aim to reduce the
digital divide and improve the local engagement on Internet governance and
development. Since 3 years, I am a key actor in the organization committee
of Benin DNS Forum, an annual one week series of events related to the
security, stability and resilience of Internet and its critical resources
like DNS, DNSSEC, DANE, IP... We also explain the community who runs the
Internet, why it is important to contribute and how to do so. I am also
Vice-President of Internet Society Benin Chapter, we mainly work to
maintain the Internet secured and available to all.
To achieve this, we work with the government, ISPs, Regulator and civil
society.
I joined ICANN community as NCUC member in May 2017. I contributed to
various work by actively participating to draft NCSG public comments,
translating the NCUC Onboarding Program course into French with two NCUC
members, participated to the Buddy Pilot Program, regularly voted for our
Constituency leadership positions and used to participate to NCSG and NCUC
members calls as much as I can. Last but not the least, I also contribute
to the NCSG technical team. Below are few URLs for your reference.
ICANN 65 is a policy meeting and as an NCUC member willing to be more
involved in Policy
Development Process, I am convinced that attending this meeting will help
me jump into new or ongoing matters like EPDP and Geographic names. I will
be available to attend all NCUC meetings and any other that could have a
positive impact on our community. I will volunteer for any NCUC task prior
to and during the 4 days event. I will also provide an attendance report. I
will stay engaged and work closely with any assigned mentor to continue
growing in NCUC. I am available and willing to serve as rapporteur for few
workshops and will share lessons learned with other NCUC members.
The total budget i am submitting is estimated 2050 $ US as detailed in the
below table. I gently request a support of 1550 $ US or more if possible. I
will take care of the difference and any other expense like transportation,
meals and insurance.
N°---> ITEM ---> Cost ($)
1 - → Airfare ticket Cotonou – Marrakech – Cotonou ---> 1 250
2 ---> Hotel: 150 $ US times 5 nights (arrival on 23 June, departure on 28
June) ---> 750
3 ---> Visa ---> 50
TOTAL = 2 050
