Greetings, I would like to attend the call and propose my name to serve this mission in any suitable capacity. I am relatively new to NARALO, having joined back in December 2022. Additionally, I participate as an Internet Society Chapter Member and currently hold a board position with the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. I am interested in contributing with my professional experiences. I work as a cybersecurity research engineer for Toyota Corporation, where I am familiar with the concept of Kaizen, which is fundamental across all business units and not exclusive to the factory. While I am not currently in a position that implements such frameworks in production, I do have a relevant perspective from prior experiences in implementing IT processes and DevOps, which emphasize continuous process improvement supported by indicators and metrics. I would also think that such participation would permit me a deeper comprehension of the ICANN community and make a positive impact. Thank you for your consideration.

All,

ICANN is forming a Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group (CIP-CCG), to develop a framework to implement ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6. Recommendation 3.6 recommends that periodic Organizational Reviews should be evolved into a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP).

The goals of the CIP-CCG include:

- Developing a shared understanding of the meaning of "Continuous Improvement" - Considering a range of methodologies for an effective CIP - Formulating a CIP Framework to be used by the SO/ACs and by the NomCom

Preferably, participants should have at least one of the following:

- Experience with ICANN Organizational Reviews *OR* - Knowledge of Continuous Improvement work outside of ICANN

The organizers would like to strike a balance between those with deep ICANN experience and those who may have fresh perspectives, to bring in new and innovative ideas for improving the effectiveness and accountability of different ICANN structures.

NARALO will have a representative and an alternate on the CIP-CCG. Alan Greenberg will be the NARALO Representative. The representative and alternate should be prepared to coordinate with the other RALO participants and with the At Large OFB-WG, as well as with NARALO.

This is a Call for Expressions of Interest to serve as the Alternate. *Please respond to this email ASAP with your interest and serving, along with a brief explanation of why you would be particularly suitable for this group, responding to the point mentioned above.*

Please send your response to Greg and Adrian, cc'ing ALAC Staff. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
