Hi Alan:
Short and sweet:
o Why I believe I'm in a position to fairly assess ICANN's accountability, transparency and the focus on the interests of global Internet users?:
I have a background of more than 40 years dealing with ITC issues as well as experience managing complex projects. In most of them we got tangible achievements on time on budget.
I think that those abilities can be helpful for an organization as complex as ICANN that needs to be transparent as well as effective.
o Why I believe that I will be able to do this from the perspective of the global ICANN At-Large Community and the ALAC?
I am founder and board member (since 1982) of the eldest NGO in Southern Cone of Latin America that represents ITC users. That activity shows my definite commitment with the interest of Internet users, key part of the At-Large Community.
I do know that open mind and huge team spirit is needed. It is my standard way of working.
It will help everybody if we can actively participate at all ICANN's activities defending At-Large Community interests with professionalism and efficiency.
Best regards
Raul Bauer
