Subject: [NA-Discuss] Re: Nomination of Waqar Ahmad for the NARALO NOMCOM rep.
Hi Everyone,
First, I sincerely thank Glenn, Mohibul, and Rookayya for nominating me for the ALAC Delegate to NOMCOM position.
I truly appreciate your support.
I hold a Master of Engineering Degree in Computer Networks from Toronto Metropolitan University, along with certifications
in network security, cybersecurity, and the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. With over 10 years of industry experience at national and international levels, I currently serve as a Senior Delivery Specialist at a leading service provider in
Canada, specializing in Network and Internet infrastructure. Moreover, I am pursuing advanced studies in Data Science and AI to further expand my expertise.
Affiliation:
Within ICANN, I actively contribute in the following capacities:
Beyond ICANN, I am involved in key Internet Governance and technical communities:
Motivation:
My journey in ICANN began with fellowships at ICANN 79 and ICANN 81, where I gained firsthand insight into the
roles of different constituencies and developed a strong interest in policy work. This experience motivated me to enroll in the ICANN Policy Accelerator Program to deepen my policy knowledge and actively participate in CPWG and OFB-WG discussions to advocate
for the best interests of Internet end users.
As I became more involved in ICANN’s ecosystem, my understanding of its diverse communities expanded. If selected
as a NomCom Delegate, I will promote diversity and inclusion in leadership selections and will identify candidates who genuinely understand the challenges and priorities of the global Internet community within the scope of the ICANN mission.
Regards,
Waqar Ahmad
