Dear All, 

I am very pleased to be able to announce that Alperen (Alp) Eken, At-Large Policy Coordinator, will be supporting the work of the At-Large community in their efforts to increase the effective engagement of At-Large Structures and Individuals on a part time, temporary basis.

Alp previously worked at ICANN as a Compliance Analyst and at QNB Finansbank as a Process Engineer. In addition to his work, Alp is one of the Co-Founders and previous Chairperson of the Co-Opinion Network which is a non-profit, policy-oriented international youth network. He chaired and organized numerous summits, workshops and roundtables in Turkey, Lebanon, Italy, Tunisia and Brussels aiming to render the contemporary world a youth-led and socially inclusive one.

Alp is currently pursuing his Master’s Degree at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington D.C., concentrating on Conflict Management and International Economics. Previously, he studied International Relations and Politics at Bogazici University, Istanbul. Alp speaks English, Turkish and German.

Alp will be in Montreal for ATLAS III.

Kind regards,

Heidi
