Candidate statement - Raoul Plommer
by Raoul Plommer May 28, 2021

May 28, 2021

Hello all, My name is Raoul Plommer and I'm representing Open Knowledge Finland as the member organisation of NPOC. I have now been in ICANN for five years and have spent four of those in the NPOC EC, first three as the Vice Chair and this current term as the Chair of the constituency. I'm running for the chair's position for the second time, hopefully able to use my experience and familiarity in NPOC for the better of the constituency. I have no conflicts of interest to work as the chair of NPOC and I'm willing to put between 5-10hrs per week to keep our constituency running and still have time for some new endeavours, like registering an NPOC supporting NGO in Estonia. My current involvement in PDPs and WGs has rotated around the NomComRIWG. -Raoul

Re: [Npoc-discuss] Nomination for Communications Chair Role
by Adisa Bolutife May 27, 2021

May 27, 2021

Dear Community members, It is with great honor that I accept the nomination for the position of Communications Chair. I'm humbled and see this as a call to service for a community we all believe in within the ICANN Org. Kindly find my candidate’s response to my nomination below: Name: Adisa Bolutife. Affiliation: Digital Grassroots Position applied for: Communications Committee Chair Why you are running for the position?: NPOC's work within the ICANN community holds an important role in having a very strong communication mechanism within which other stakeholders within the community relate to the work and interest of Not-for-Profit, Civil Society and Academics within the constituency. It is therefore very pertinent to connect with these other stakeholders and varied interests within the community to understand the work that NPOC does with the view of serving as a more vocal voice of reasoning and logic during engagements with other stakeholder groups. I strongly believe in working with the leadership of the NPOC and all members' interests represented while building a bottom-up approach consensus to DNS Policy and realizing the ICANN's multistakeholder PDP actionable outcomes. I do hope to bring in a diverse and proactive approach to service in the role I'm putting myself forward for. I am also active within regional affiliations such as ISOC, AFRALO and the Internet Governance Forum, both nationally, regionally and globally. I also work as Program Manager for my local NRI. My participation in different fora within the internet space has seen my continued contribution on internet governance policy issues ranging from data governance, Copyright and Intellectual Property, Cyber Security, sustainable access, digital rights, media literacy, and development & capacity and other internet related issues which I believe is consistent with some of the concerns the NPOC has within the DNS industry. In my professional experience from being an IT Engineer, Program Manager, Non-profit leader and technology trainer, I believe it puts me in a position to be of immense value to the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) in bringing my industry experience to bear from a technical perspective to serve in the role of communication's chair. I look forward to serving the NPOC community in this role. Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?: No How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: 6+ hours Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state: No Thank you for your consideration, support. Best regards, Adisa Bolutife. Co-founder, Digital Grassroots.

Adisa is the co-founder of Digital Grassroots, an organisation that improves digital literacy in underserved communities. He was an ICANN NextGen participant at ICANN65 and a former ISOC youth fellow to the Internet Governance Forum in Geneva. He currently serves as president of the Internet Society Youth Special Interest Group (Youth Observatory) and is passionate about Internet Governance and human rights. Adisa would be an excellent addition to the NPOC leadership team and I hope he accepts the nomination.
