ACCEPT Nomination: NOMCOM - Alfredo Calderon
by Alfredo Calderon April 13, 2023

April 13, 2023

Esteemed Staff and NARALO community, I accept the nomination by Glenn Mcknight to the *ALAC Delegate to the NomCom representing NARALO.* *To acknowledge why I believe I can be a qualified Delegate to the NOMCOM I submit the following statement.* *++++++++* I am submitting this statement to acknowledge why I believe I am qualified to be a Delegate to the NOMCOM. I have had extensive experience in various selection groups within ICANN, ISOC, and IEEE, which has prepared me to effectively serve in this capacity. At ICANN, I have been a member of the Fellowship Program Selection Committee appointed by ALAC, and have served as a Coach/Mentor in the ICANN Fellowship Program. During this time, I had the opportunity to work closely with mentees to identify their expectations and interests in the different communities within ICANN and determine where their professional experience could better serve the Policy Development Process. With the ISOC Foundation, I have served as an Evaluator in various rounds of Beyond the Net (before revision), and for the past few years have served on the Evaluation team for the Early Career and Mid-Career Programs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also served as a reviewer for HAC/SIGHT Project Proposals. My experiences in these selection groups have been objective, with a clear focus on procuring diverse and gender-balanced representatives in the various bodies where I have done similar tasks. I have had a strong relationship with other communities (ACs/SOs) since my involvement in ICANN, which is a testament to my commitment to ensuring the Board of Directors and different leadership positions meet the highest standards proposed by each body. Additionally, my experiences as an Academic Program Coordinator with the work done in the editions of the North American School on Internet Governance (NASIG) and the Virtual School on Internet Governance have given me the capability to approach candidates to be recruited based on their qualifications and experiences. It is clear that as a NARALO delegate to the NomCom, I will be assuming a role and duties that go beyond the community I represent and believe that I have the skills to be objective and open to "deliver as required". Working collaboratively is key in reaching a consensus to select the best candidates to occupy a leadership position as indicated in the NOMCOM charter. I shall be in a position to join monthly teleconferences and understand that NomCom's workload increases significantly during the candidate assessment process. Traveling and participating in ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when requested is not foreseen as an impediment to satisfying my duties if appointed. Lastly, thank you for considering me to serve as a Delegate to the NOMCOM appointed by NARALO and ratified by ALAC.
