May 10, 2018

Dear colleagues, a very good day, Permit me to self-nominate Remmy Nweke for the chairman, Policy Committee, as we approach the NPOC election. Kindly see my candidate’s response below: • *Name:* Remmy Nweke • *Affiliation:* DigitalSENSE Africa Media • *Position applied for:* Chair, Policy Committee • *Why you are running for the position?:* Having served in the policy committee in the recent past, my decision to run for the chairman, Policy Committee of NPOC is to take the Policy engagement of NPOC to the next level, leveraging on our diverse and collective strength to increase engagement in alliance with other members of NPOC and larger NCSG family. I am also an active individual member of ICANN’s Generic Name Supporting Organisations (GNSO) like Non-Commercial Users Stakeholder Group (NCSG), Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) and Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) respectively and has been in forefront of all-inclusive diversity advocacy and is one of those who devoted time and energy in the NPOC charter review working group among others. In addition, I am a consistent member of At-Large Advisory Committee of ICANN under AFRALO - African Regional At-Large Organisation; member of the ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement; Fellow, Cyber Security Policy on Human Rights Defenders; Chairman, Communication & Advocacy Committee (CAC), IPv6 Council Nigeria. Lately, I served as an elected Executive board member, Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), the managers of .NG country code Top Level Domain and extended my services to several committees including Communications and Publicity, Accreditation, Finance and Establishment, as well as an elected Vice President of the African Civil Society on the Information Society (ACSIS), pioneer branch Secretary, Cyber Security Expert Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) and former publicity secretary, Nigeria Internet Group (NIG) cum chairman, International Relations of NIG; pioneer Secretary, ICT Media Initiative; BARK Foundation – a knowledge-based advocacy group; Internet Governance Caucus (IGC), to name a few. Also in Nigeria, DigitalSENSE Africa efforts at building multistakeholderism gave rise to nurturing of what is today known as Nigeria Internet Governance Forum (NIGF) of which I am equally serving as a member of the NIGF Local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (LMAG), just as I served as a member of the Civil Society Selection Group for the recently concluded WSIS+10 Stakeholder Selection Committee for the United Nations President of the General Assembly, among others. Personally interested in policy development and particularly as it concerns the Internet ecosystem, hence, I tend to add-value to my policy-making drive moving forward, especially having recently been elected Vice President, African Civil Society on the Information Society (ACSIS) and have relevant expertise as a Contemporary Diplomacy post-graduate from the University of Malta and various certifications on Internet related governance, invariably to translate this opportunity towards improving NPOC policy engagement in association with other members for the benefit of entire ICANN community. I am a member of NCUC | NPOC | NCSG, (DigitalSENSE Africa Media) as well as the Africa Regional At-Large Organizations (AFRALO); and optimistic of immensely contributing to future input into NPOC Policy Development Process. • *Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:* NO. • *How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position:* Will endeavor at least Five (5) hours • *Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:* NPOC Charter Review Working Group, Policy Committee and ALAC Outreach Engagement Thank you for your consideration, support and God bless. ____ REMMY NWEKE, mNGE, Lead Strategist/Group Executive Editor, DigitalSENSE Africa Media [*Multiple-award winning medium*] (DigitalSENSE Business News <http://www.digitalsenseafrica.com.ng/businessnews>; ITREALMS <http://www.itrealms.com.ng>, NaijaAgroNet <http://www.naijaagronet.com.ng>) Block F1, Shop 133 Moyosore Aboderin Plaza, Bolade Junction, Oshodi-Lagos M: 234-8033592762, 8023122558, 8051000475, T: @ITRealms <http://www.twitter.com/ITRealms> Author: A Decade of ICT Reportage in Nigeria <https://www.facebook.com/adecadeofictreportageinnigeria‎> *Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum on IG4D & Nigeria IPv6 Roundtable* <http://www.digitalsenseafrica.com.ng> (June 6, 2018 Cooperative Hall, Oshodi-Isolo Secretariat, Oshodi-Lagos.

Nomination for Chair of NPOC
by marie-laure Lemineur May 10, 2018

May 10, 2018

Dear NPOC members, I would like to nominate Poncelet for Chair of NPOC. I have closely worked with him when I first joined as a member of the NPOC community and continued working with him when I was elected Chair of NPOC. Over the last years, Poncelet has acted in many capacities in the Executive Committee serving as NPOC Secretary, in charge of Membership and of Policy. He has also represented NPOC in the NCSG EXCOM twice. As part of the NPOC delegation, Poncelet attended the ICANN inter-sessional meeting in Los Angeles, was a member of the first ICANN Meeting Strategic working group that restructured ICANN meetings, and has also been active with the first ICANN African strategic working group. Poncelet serves on/has served on the following working groups: · NCSG PC · GNSO RPM WG · GNSO-new gtld-WG · GNSO -igo-ingo-crp · GNSO SSC Finally, he is a resource person for the West African Internet Governance Forum (www.waigf.org) and an adviser to the Gambian Government in ICANN GAC. His long-term experience within ICANN and the Internet Governance sphere, allowed him to build a solid knowledge of key processes and topics at stake, added to the fact that he is from a region that is under-represented within ICANN. For all of those reasons, I would like to propose the name of Poncelet for candidate to Chair of NPOC. I sincerely hope he accepts. Kind regards, Marie-laure Lemineur
