Hi everyone, and thanks David for the kind words. I accept the nomination and look forward to a content-rich election. I hope to continue the work started last fall towards more-deeply focusing ALAC on what matters to end-users and, indeed, for At-Large to examine all ICANN issues through that perspective. I have updated my SOI and will be shortly sending in a more-detailed statement as requested by the election guidelines. My professional background can be examined at my Linkedin profile <https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanleibovitch/>. Beyond any election events, I intend to be as accessible as possible. To that end anyone is welcome to reach me through WhatsApp, email or: - Discord: @el56 - Signal: @evan.56 - Facebook: evanleibovitch - X: @el56 - Mastodon: @el56@mastodon.social <el56@mastodon.social> - Telegram: @evanleibovitch Again, thanks for the support. - Evan ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David Mackey <mackey361@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Apr 6, 2024 at 9:58 AM Subject: Nomination of Evan Leibovitch for NARALO ALAC position To: NARALO Discussion List <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Hi all, I'd like to nominate Evan Leibovitch as a candidate for the NARALO representative to ALAC. The At-Large community includes many hard working members who are all dedicated to the ICANN At-Large mission, but Evan stands out in his passion for taking an End User perspective in everything that he does. His previous experience and contributions to At-Large at the leadership level make him well qualified for the role. Evan understands the potential for using a bottom-up process to collect diverse perspectives from the entire community and to focus those ideas towards building an improved At-Large strategic plan. He has spoken about the opportunity for ICANN to direct more of its research towards End User needs with an End User lens, but it’s not just research. Evan also sees opportunities to have a greater direct impact on End Users through strategic partner education efforts. Policy development is important, but End User policy development isn’t valuable if End Users don’t understand what those policies mean. As the NARALO Representative to ALAC, Evan would be able to work towards these goals effectively from day one.
