Dear all, Matthias, thanks a lot for your very nice presentation of the profile – it describes very well what you can offer to ICANN. I may add that I have told him – you are an excellent candidate – great and very appreciated that you have done this step and agree to be subject to ICANN and At-Large scrutiny BUT – you are not nominated to win easily. EURALO has great candidates and please be ready to accept that others may be considered as better qualified THIS TIME. Our colleague from the Netherlands has a good history of ICANN engagement in the last years, the colleagues from France are representing underrepresented groups – seniors and juniors – and the family as such – has a remarkable history of ICANN engagement. Family nepotism must be avoided but families with a strong ICANN history of engagement must be considered by its merits. I remember one sentence in the GoT: The family is what remains are you are dead and rotting in the ground. We should take a positive approach to the engagement of families, considering that firms, lobbying groups, states, international organisations, regions etc. have the history of engagement and influence and biased behaviour. Thus, why treat families in a different way? At-Large must find ways to finance the engagement without ICANN support and families are one solution, the other (and preferred option) is collecting money for this purpose. €100,000 is not that much, can be raised and would greatly support INDEPENDANT ENGAGEMENT. Best regards, Erich P.S. Being a Styrian myself but living in Vienna since 1977, I do not see Graz as a secret capital of Austria. Schwarzenegger is a great actor, was a governor but is not treated rationally by Austrian politicians. They overdo his importance and like to kiss his ass. He a great man and the most famous Austrian now (we do not mention the other guy renouncing his citizenship in about 1925 because of fears that he may be expelled to Austria. Graz is doing a very fine job in being the gate to the Balkan area. Its historic role is long gone but was of world-wide experience. The Austrian Hapsburgs organised the defence against the Osman Empire from Graz, giving the management to the local dynasty of Hapsburgs. Graz and Styria have done very well. Battle ground was mostly Croatia leaving some parts unpopulated for a while and being attractive for Serbian settlements. ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag.

Born in Austria's secret capital, Graz, the home of Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'm in my late 30s with two kids who seem to no longer enjoy my homeschooling-related jokes just as much as they did five weeks ago. I currently live on Norderney<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norderney>, a small North Sea island tethered to the world by - happily - an Internet cable and some ferries. I'm currently Head of Research<https://leibniz-hbi.de/en/staff/matthias-c-kettemann> for Rules in Online Spaces at Germany's best-known media research institute, the Leibniz Institute for Media Research. After law studies in Austria, Geneva, and Harvard, I completed my postdoc in Frankfurt. In all I've been working on Internet governance and Internet law for the last 15 years. I'm deeply passionate about investigating how online rules are made and legitimated. In July my next book on that topic will be published open access<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-normative-order-of-the-internet-...> by OUP. In it I develop a theory of comprehensive Normative Order of the Internet<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-normative-order-of-the-internet-...>. Yes, it's as juicy as it sounds. I'm also working on the interaction of private and public norms (Setting Rules for 2.7 Billion),<https://leibniz-hbi.de/uploads/media/Publikationen/cms/media/5pz9hwo_AP_WiP0...> trying to bust Internet myths<https://internetmyths.eu>, show the diversity of the Internet (Many Words.

I've been a member of a number of hiring committees and have been involved in drafting norms, developing projects, implementing ideas, and collabowriting proposals in different settings with varied partners for the last 15 years. I'll gladly use my experience to ensure that our interests are best represented in NomCom. I look forward to the next steps. Kind regards Matthias PS: If you a bit of time, consider contributing<https://www.global-cooperation.digital/GCD/Navigation/EN/Contributions/contr...> to the process championed by Germany to develop ideas to implement Recommendations 5AB of the HLPDC report of last year. I've been involved in different projects to ensure international stakeholder inclusion in these processes and have drafted, with colleagues, a comment as well: How to Build an Enhanced Mechanism for Digital Cooperation<https://www.global-cooperation.digital/GCD/Redaktion/EN/Downloads/kleinwaech...>. -- PD Dr. Matthias C.

A small disadvantage: he is busy establishing his scientific carrier, thus timing is an issue but may be solved very soon (with a permanent position). You never know. He is Austrian (like me), but he is living in Germany for a long time. He is in the process of moving back to the ALAC community, arriving at the Center may still take some time, e.g. a year or two. He is strongly committed to our ALAC community and sees the candidacy as an excellent step moving back into the hard core of ALAC, even if time may be slightly inappropriate now. Eriich 1. ao.
