Since this is an interim position, Beran is in a good position to fill it as she was part of ALAC Leadership in the past (2013-2015). She had taken some time off to focus on family issues and her professional life, but has been following At-Large work. She has also been involved in Internet Governance discussions, and particularly ICANN policy development for several years. I worked with her in 2016 on the Community Onboarding Pilot Program, which was a mentorship-based program with an objective of improving engagement and retention of new participants within ICANN. This was from ICANN55 to ICANN60. Outside ICANN, she is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Hub, a tech innovator hub in the Gambia. I believe that the ALAC and AFRALO will benefit from her experience and expertise. Please read more from her Statement of Internet (SOI).
