Dear Councilors, As Keith mentioned during the Council meeting earlier today, please find below an Expression of Interest submitted by Tomslin Samme-Nlar for the position of GNSO co-chair to the IANA Naming Function Review. Kind regards, Pam From: Gnso-secs <gnso-secs-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Tomslin Samme-Nlar <mesumbeslin@gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 3:18 AM To: "gnso-secs@icann.org" <gnso-secs@icann.org> Subject: [gnso-secs] Expression of Interest for appointment of co-chair to the IANA Naming Function Review Dear GNSO Council, I would like to express my interest to be appointed as co-chair to the IANA Naming Function Review team. While I have previously not put myself forward for consideration as co-chair, mostly because of no prior experience chairing a group in ICANN, I have decided to reconsider my decision, and therefore hereby express my interest. I have been an active member in policy work of the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) here at ICANN since officially joining a stakeholder group in 2017, so I have a good understanding of the work of the GNSO in ICANN. I am also a steering team member of the Free Software and OpenSource Foundation of Africa (FOSSFA). Other than my of volunteering leadership experience, I am a Technical Lead for NTT Australia. I therefore understand and use leadership, negotiation, influence and diplomacy skills daily. In addition, I spend a fair bit of time researching and studying diplomacy, strategy and national security in cyber space, including Internet Governance in a post graduate degree I am currently pursuing at the Australian Defense Force Academy (ADFA). I understand chairing a team like this will require a fair bit of time, so I am willing to set aside +/- 6 hours a week for this work. It is my hope that my EOI is considered by the council. Very Best Regards, Tomslin Samme-Nlar
