As your Secretariat, I've ensured North American voices are heard within ICANN, built essential relationships across ICANN, and gained a deep understanding of how ICANN works. Why I'm Running for NomCom The NomCom selects people for key ICANN leadership positions. I am an excellent candidate for this role because, as Secretariat, I have seen what makes a good ICANN leader, and have made connections that allow me to identify strong candidates who truly care about Internet users. I’m committed to promoting diverse representation in leadership and finding candidates who truly understand our community’s needs. After two years as Secretariat, serving as your NomCom Delegate is a natural next step. My experience will allow me to select leaders who support the interests of Internet users. Thank you for your confidence and support as your next NonCom Delegate. I am grateful for this opportunity to serve our community in a new capacity. Adrian Schmidt, Electronic Engineer, MBA Naralo Secretariat
