Hi everyone, I’m pleased to share my strong support for Rookayya’s nomination. I first connected with Rookayya through the ARIN Fellowship Program, where I also had the opportunity to serve on the Fellowship Selection Committee during her selection. It was clear even then that she stood out as a dedicated and passionate voice in the Internet governance space. I later met her in person during the ICANN 82 Meeting in Seattle last month. She brings a warm, collaborative spirit and a strong sense of responsibility to every conversation. Her work with Youth IGF Canada and her ongoing involvement in the community are inspiring examples of youth leadership in action. I believe Rookayya would be an excellent choice for the Secretariat role and would serve the community with commitment and care.

Hello All,
I would also like to support Rookayya’s nomination. I am the President of Youth IGF Canada which Rookayya recently joined our volunteer Executive Committee, which is our key coordinating arm for our nonprofit. (Youth IGF Canada is a bit of a unique NRI/IGF in that we structure ourselves as a 100% volunteer youth-led nonprofit who carry out activities to build the Canadian youth Internet governance community throughout the year so that we can then convene this community annually at the Canada Youth IGF.)
Rookayya was one of Youth IGF Canada’s selected funded travellers when we held Canada’s inaugural Youth Internet Governance Forum in Toronto last September. Since then, Rookayya joined the Youth IGF Canada Executive Committee in February, demonstrating her commitment to building out the next generation of Internet leaders in Canada. She has been a wonderful addition to our team demonstrating attention to detail, agility, and collegiality on our various files.
I look forward to watching this election process with the wonderful candidates we’ve already seen nominated today. It looks like this Secretary position will be in excellent hands no matter the outcome of the election.
Good luck to all!
All the best, Dana
