I support Nadira, Maureen and Lianna's nominations. They are valuable assets to the community. Yours truly,Aris Ignacio From: Nadira Alaraj <nadira.araj(a)gmail.com> To: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Cc: "apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Sent: Sunday, May 7, 2017 11:11 PM Subject: Re: [APAC-Discuss] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2017 Call for Nominations for ALAC Members, Regional Leadership and ALAC Delegates to the NomCom Dear APRALO Community,Greetings to all,I’m starting this email expressing my interest of self-nomination to APRALO position as representative ofALAC delegates to the Nomcom.My path in ICANN started withmy first fellowship in ICANN53, 2015, in those two years, I gone through adiscovery mission to familiarize myself of the work of different entities ofICANN organizational structures and its cross community interactions, because believe that experience strengthenthe theoretical background and gives depth understanding in knowledgeconstruction. When my timeline startedwith ICANN at Buenos Aires, APRALO LT team gave me the understanding of what isexpected of the role of ALSes and it happened that ISOC Palestine was a recent accredited ALSAPRALO member. As the vice chair of ISOCPalestine, I became a delegate of my ALS, after that the Chapter carried differentoutreach activities for ICANN and how to make the public aware of ICANN. AtICANN55, I was a coach fellow and I focused my schedule to attend ccNSO sessions. Where .PS considered me their liaison intheir absence of ICANN public meetings, I even gave presentation about .PSat the newcomer session of APTLD70. On April2015, I became a member of MEAC-SWG, helped in putting its Charter and theStrategy itself. Attended APSIG 2016 as a fellow participant to increase my awarenessof the IG issues in the diverse Asia Pacific region and now I’m active in theirfellowship sub-committees. Again I was a coach fellow at ICANN57 which helped mewiden my AP network with ICANN members. This week I gave a hand in formulating an IGF2017 workshop proposal initiatedby APSIG community member in cooperation with IG activists from Global South. As for the GNSO, last August, I became an individualmember of NCUC, an experience which helped me identify the difference in themissions and affiliations of At-Large and their focus programs of civil societyand end users. The closest I could getinto the ASO was through my remote attendance to sessions at MENOG17. For my ICANN engagement incommittees/sub committees, I’m a participant at the “ALAC Subcommittee onFinance and Budget”, “Cross-Community Working Group on new gTLD AuctionProceeds” and a member of the NomCom2 Review Working Party. The later equipped me with comprehensive understandingof the role of nomcom members while examining of the RFP for Review of the Nominating Committee to theindependent examiner. A brief background of mypersonal profile, I’m online freelancer in Capacity Building on IG andcertified tutor by Diplo Foundation. Soon to end, my term as a vice chair of ISOCPalestine and founding member of ISOC Blockchain Special Interest Group. Graduatedfrom Syracuse University with double MSc. degrees in Computer Science andInformation Resources Management and have a BSc. in Mathematics/ComputerScience from Jordan University. Had a 23years of lecturer experience in Operations Management courses at the Faculty ofBusiness Administration in Bethlehem University. Served on the nominationcommittee presenting Best Bits network on the Internet Governance Civil SocietyCoordination Group. As an member of the ArabMAG 2015, I coordinated the workshops track for the 4th Arab IGF. Wasamong the training consultants for the online track on IG capacity buildingprogram for HIVOS iGmena project. Having a look at ICANNBylaws, Article 8: NOMINATING COMMITTEE, section 8.4 Criteria for Selection ofNominating Committee Delegates; with my academic experience, and the good background that I developed about SO/ACs I can apply with confidence of my competencesthat match this position even with no consideration for gender balance criteria. Hoping APRALO members willfind my bio matches their expectations for this position. Best wishes,Nadira Al-ArajISOC Palestine (ALS)_______________________________________________ APAC-Discuss mailing list APAC-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/apac-discuss Homepage for the region: http://www.apralo.org

Re: [APAC-Discuss] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2017 Call for Nominations for ALAC Members, Regional Leadership and ALAC Delegates to the NomCom
by Nadira Alaraj 09 May '17

09 May '17

Dear APRALO Community, Greetings to all, I’m starting this email expressing my interest of self-nomination to APRALO position as representative of ALAC delegates to the Nomcom. My path in ICANN started with my first fellowship in ICANN53, 2015, in those two years, I gone through a discovery mission to familiarize myself of the work of different entities of ICANN organizational structures and its cross community interactions, because believe that experience strengthen the theoretical background and gives depth understanding in knowledge construction. When my timeline started with ICANN at Buenos Aires, APRALO LT team gave me the understanding of what is expected of the role of ALSes and it happened that ISOC Palestine was a recent accredited ALS APRALO member. As the vice chair of ISOC Palestine, I became a delegate of my ALS, after that the Chapter carried different outreach activities for ICANN and how to make the public aware of ICANN. At ICANN55, I was a coach fellow and I focused my schedule to attend ccNSO sessions. Where .PS considered me their liaison in their absence of ICANN public meetings, I even gave presentation about .PS at the newcomer session of APTLD70. On April 2015, I became a member of MEAC-SWG, helped in putting its Charter and the Strategy itself. Attended APSIG 2016 as a fellow participant to increase my awareness of the IG issues in the diverse Asia Pacific region and now I’m active in their fellowship sub-committees. Again I was a coach fellow at ICANN57 which helped me widen my AP network with ICANN members. This week I gave a hand in formulating an IGF2017 workshop proposal initiated by APSIG community member in cooperation with IG activists from Global South. As for the GNSO, last August, I became an individual member of NCUC, an experience which helped me identify the difference in the missions and affiliations of At-Large and their focus programs of civil society and end users. The closest I could get into the ASO was through my remote attendance to sessions at MENOG17. For my ICANN engagement in committees/sub committees, I’m a participant at the “ALAC Subcommittee on Finance and Budget”, “Cross-Community Working Group on new gTLD Auction Proceeds” and a member of the NomCom2 Review Working Party. The later equipped me with comprehensive understanding of the role of nomcom members while examining of the RFP for Review of the Nominating Committee to the independent examiner. A brief background of my personal profile, I’m online freelancer in Capacity Building on IG and certified tutor by Diplo Foundation. Soon to end, my term as a vice chair of ISOC Palestine and founding member of ISOC Blockchain Special Interest Group. Graduated from Syracuse University with double MSc. degrees in Computer Science and Information Resources Management and have a BSc. in Mathematics/Computer Science from Jordan University. Had a 23 years of lecturer experience in Operations Management courses at the Faculty of Business Administration in Bethlehem University. Served on the nomination committee presenting Best Bits network on the Internet Governance Civil Society Coordination Group. As an member of the Arab MAG 2015, I coordinated the workshops track for the 4th Arab IGF. Was among the training consultants for the online track on IG capacity building program for HIVOS iGmena project. Having a look at ICANN Bylaws, Article 8: NOMINATING COMMITTEE, section 8.4 Criteria for Selection of Nominating Committee Delegates; with my academic experience, and the good background that I developed about SO/ACs I can apply with confidence of my competences that match this position even with no consideration for gender balance criteria. Hoping APRALO members will find my bio matches their expectations for this position. Best wishes, Nadira Al-Araj ISOC Palestine (ALS)

Dear all, I would like to self-nominate myself for the position of ALAC delegate to NomCom representing APRALO for the upcoming year. I have been associated to ALAC through ISOC Islamabad Chapter which became an ALS in 2014. I have served as President of ISOC Islamabad Chapter and Treasurer of the Chapter in past few years. I have been associated to ICANN since 2014 (ICANN50) when I got my first ICANN fellowship and since then, I have attended six ICANN meetings, including 4 appearances as coach ICANN Fellows and one as ICANN Fellowship coordinator in ICANN55. I have also got fellowship for the upcoming ICANN59. I also contributed in leading the working group of ICANN Fellows for draft the Fellowship Coaching guidelines, which have been in practice for the past one year. Moreover, for the last two years, I have been actively engaged in regional activities of ICANN, and helped ICANN and ISOC in organizing a number of local and regional events through the platform of ISOC Islamabad Chapter. I am also working closely with ICANN as a volunteer trainer on DNS Operations and Security since early 2015. Besides, I am currently a member of Middle-East and Adjoining Countries Charter Draft Working Group and Strategy Working Group and contributed in the development of the charter followed by the strategy which is in the implementation stage at the moment. As for my background, I am a university professor/researcher by profession, got PhD in Computer Networking from INRIA, France in 2010 and now serving as Associate Professor in a university. Having my background and relevant association in past few years, I volunteer myself for the position of ALAC delegate to NomCom and hope that I would serve for the post to the best of my potential and capability. Cheers, Naveed -
