*Remmy Nweke*
Dear Colleagues,
At the novel convention of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) at the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunisia 2005, I was privileged to be a delegate and ever since then, my concept of MultiStakeholderism was ignited and has remained a motivating factor in most of my industry contributions across the Internet ecosystem where I find myself relevant to serve.
As evident, this belief led to our first setting up an entity called DigitalSENSE Africa Media, which today is an At-Large Structure (ALS) to serve as a vehicle to drive home what multistakeholderism stands for, comprising inclusiveness across growing access to the Internet, openness, privacy, security, diversity and human elements among others.
Hitherto, at DigitalSENSE Africa Media, where I lead a team of Strategists, we have consistently focused on developing initiatives that could engender and improve understanding of key issues of importance to our immediate community, which include but not limited to youth, students, women and community-based association to convey Internet efficacy via enlightenment on how best to increase usability positively, especially among the youths, who are furiously targeted as part of efforts at 'catching them young' and engendering knowledge via our DigitalSENSE Forum on Internet Governance for Development (IG4D) since 2009 and Nigeria IPv6 Roundtable from 2011, which are annual events organized and hosted by my team and structured to serve multi-stakeholder needs.
At the sub-regional level, I led a team that successfully organized and midwifed the first-ever West African Internet Governance Forum (WAIGF) hosted by Nigeria in Lagos in 2011.
On the continent, I recognize the needs which may not be too different from scenario in my home country, Nigeria, where several issues are increasingly seen as problematic, moreso the issue of access and affordability, which will form my agenda at MAG, hence, I have a pretty idea what the challenges are from this part of the world from the African premise and having practiced in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector in the past 19 years and adorned with several awards on Information Society via UNECA to attest these efforts.
Also in Nigeria, DigitalSENSE Africa effort at building multistakeholderism gave rise to nurturing of what is today known as Nigeria Internet Governance Forum (NIGF) of which I am equally serving as a member of the NIGF Local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (LMAG), just as I served as a member of the Civil Society Selection Group for the just concluded WSIS+10 Stakeholder Selection Committee for the United Nations President of the General Assembly, among others.
I holds a Master of Arts degree from the University of Malta on Contemporary Diplomacy, aside having a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mass Communication (Journalism) as well as Ordinary National Diploma from the Institute of Journalism & Management, Enugu, Enugu State-Nigeria, among other certification in Computer Studies and Online Journalism and Management from the German International Institute for Journalism (IIJ) Berlin. I am the author of "A Decade of ICT Reportage ... The Award-winning series in addition to having Diploma from Diplo Foundation since 2005 on Internet Governance Capacity Building, and completed a certification course on Introduction to Environmental Law and Policy by The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to name but a few.
Lately, I served as an elected Executive board member, Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), the managers of .NG country code Top Level Domain and extended by services to several committees including Communications and Publicity, Accreditation, Finance and Establishment, as well as a member of the African Civil Society on the Information Society (ACSIS), branch Secretary, Cyber Security Expert Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) and former publicity secretary, Nigeria Internet Group (NIG) cum chairman, International Relations of NIG; pioneer Secretary, ICT Media Initiative; BARK Foundation – a knowledge-base advocacy group; Internet Governance Caucus (IGC), to name a few.
I am an active individual member of ICANN's Generic Name Supporting Organisations (GNSO) like Non-Commercial Users Stakeholder Group (NCSG) and Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) respectively and has been in forefront of all-inclusive diversity advocacy and recently served as one of the by-lawyers to review the guidelines of NCUC, among others. In addition, I am a consistent member of At-Large Advisory Committee of ICANN under AFRALO - African Regional At-Large Organisation; member of the ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement and would like to bring these experiences to bear in the contributions and participation if given the chance to serve at the Internet Governance Forum Multistakeholder Advisory Group (IGF-MAG) for a better netizen-driven society by leveraging on the efforts of past MAG members.
I will appreciate consideration of my request to serve.
Remmy Nweke
