Thanks Louise!
So far the voting count is the following:
Akinremi Peter Taiwo - 1 vote (EC NA)
Benjamin Akinmoyeje - 1 vote (EC EU)
I would also like to note that I have been seeing some confusion in our
member's application to this slot. A few of them mentioned At-Large
sessions in their applications, and IMHO the purpose of the slot is for
NCUC related activities - and listing At-Large or other constituencies
activities might even highlight some lack of understanding about NCUC.
Please take that into consideration when casting your votes.
Best,
Bruna

>>
>> 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

>> Departure and arrival on return: Johannesburg, OR Tambo International
>> airport
>>
>> Reason for attending
>>
>> -To participate and follow up on NCUC Africa engagement plans during
>> ICANN65, Africa Strategy meeting.
>>
>> -To also follow up on CCWG on AP discussions and Open Data Initiative
>> discussions and proceedings.
>>
>> -To deepen my participation within NCUC and NCSG activities and support
>> newcomers if opportunity permits.
>>
>> Previously, I was involved in the Finance Committee of NCSG and am still
>> am involved. I have initiated communication with different working groups
>> like Open Data Initiative, Universal Acceptance, ICANN Finance meetings and
>> I also contributed and facilitated community draft comments on IANA/PTI
>> plans and budgets, ICANN plans and budgets.
>>
>> Within NCUC, I have also mentored newcomers in order to fast track their
>> participation within ICANN and constituency activities, through the NCUC
>> buddy program, which I believe, need to be revived as it was a very good
>> program that gets members active and broadens participation. I also managed
>> the NCUC stall during the 2017 Global IGF in Geneva, over 2 days, at
>> differentiated time slots. I was also involved in the coordination of NCUC
>> outreach in Johannesburg, pre ICANN59, 2017.
>>
>> I have also coordinated online meetings with NCSG FC committee members,
>> started to develop the FC document repository, attended NCSG and NCUC
>> monthly calls and normally giving report on the FC activities, although the
>> past 5 months have been challenging due to various reasons.
>>
>> Now with a change in role within the FC, attending this meeting will
>> provide me another opportunity to serve NCUC in a different capacity,
>> especially when it comes to exploring AFRALO and AFRICA GSE office
>> collaboration opportunities, New gTLD AP proceedings and next steps and the
>> exciting Open Data Initiative that aims to simplify access to information
>> and develop respective procedures to be followed before data is publicized
>> or made available to the community by ICANN. I also intend to follow up on
>> ICANN 5-year and annual plans and budget sessions by ICANN finance.
>>
>> I normally publish reports after each ICANN meeting but my ICANN64 report
>> was distributed to the Africa NCUC mailing list. (See attached report with
>> follow up community communique that was shared with the Mailing list after
>> a meeting with ICANN Africa GSE VP, Pierre Dadnjinou). I still plan to
>> bring a telling voice within the community of NCUC and NCSG.
>>
>> Whenever not onsite, I attend some ICANN meetings online, like ICANN 61
>> and ICANN 63, making representations at NCUC constituency day and actively
>> participating remotely. I am also open to still serving NCUC in any other
>> capacity or for any other initiative. Since ICANN64, I am currently
>> coordinating with the NCUC EC Africa representative, a way to improve
>> regional participation and contribution in ICANN, NCSG and constituency
>> activities. Thanks.
