>> Hi all,

>> Please find below my statement of interest:
>> 
>> In applying for this position I hope that I can continue to support the Chair in her commitments and responsibilities. Sharing the load and assisting in our NCUC leadership affairs is key for us to be able to better liaise with NCSG, NPOC, and other constituencies. Besides, this governance structure (Chair, Vice-Chair, and EC) ensures less taxing workload on the Chair while providing us with the opportunity to maintain a supportive environment for strategising and helping our members engage (mentorship support along with the skills for us to effectively participate in PDPs). In the course of these past few months I have worked in setting our ABRs for FY20, reviewing internal documents, supporting meeting activities (such as the Ask NCUC in ICANN63) and connecting with civil society groups regionally (IGF Paris, EuroDig preparatory meeting, ICANN civil society outreach meeting prior to CPDP 2019). Prior to that, I have participated as a member in the RPMs working Group, as an observer in the SSR2, and contributed to public comments such as the one on the KSK Rollover. At the moment, I participate as an observer at the CCWG-IG and EPDP working group -- and look forward to contributing to the latter during comments period. We also have challenging moments ahead with the second phase of the EPDP and the review of the governance model, and my goal is to work with the Chair and the EC on how to better support the NCSG in these and other areas.
>> 
>> Now heading to my second year in NCUC leadership -- and considering the challenges we had throughout the past year -- I believe that not only have we grown together as a team but, most importantly, that this experience has better prepared me for the responsibility and commitment required for the NCUC Vice-Chair position. This position provides a more lightweight structure to the volunteer work and dedication required of all in NCUC leadership, and I hope to contribute with my experience in serving the EC and skills throughout these next few months. I also see this as a key opportunity to (i) challenge myself policy-wise (now that I have more time), to (ii) contribute with administrative skills in tracking and liaising with different members of the leadership, and (iii) bring methodological rigour to the development of metrics for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of NCUC's work (i.e., outreach and capacity building). 
>> 
>> Civil society is, first and foremost diverse and varies from region to region. In this regard, it is important to note that whilst originally from Brazil, I have been based in the UK for the past year and a half, and that has allowed me to understand and work with very different expressions of advocacy and engagement in Internet governance -- all of which are essential in navigating and communicating with our large pool of members. This perception equips as well as informs how to work (i) within NCUC and (ii) with its members.
>> 
>> Time-wise, most of you know that I was doing the Masters while being part of NCUC leadership in my last mandate (2017-2018). This did not stop me then from committing time and being physically present in all of the meetings. At this point, I am only working as project coordinator for Igarapé Institute (a security-focused think-and-do tank based in Brazil), where I manage a portfolio of activities and research related to digital rights and cybersecurity. With this in mind, I am confident that I have both the time management skills and understanding of the workload that this position might entail -- should you entrust me with this position and should the Chair decide to delegate any additional task to the Vice-chair within this governance structure.  
>> 
>> Finally, NCUC has provided me with the invaluable experience of being mentored by Kathy Kleiman, Ayden Férdeline and so many other experienced members. At the personal level, I only think it as a natural next step to support the continuation of NCUC's work and the values that are so fundamental to our engagement within the community.
