Candidate Statement for Membership Chair - Emmanuel Vitus
by Emmanuel vitus Agbenonwossi June 5, 2019

June 5, 2019

Dear All, I will like to gratefully accept the nomination for the position of membership chair in NPOC. My sincere appreciation to Felix and Remmy for the nomination. I'm deeply humbled and feel this is a strong call to service. I, therefore, ask for your kind support during this election to make NPOC great again by voting me for the Membership Chair. To know more about me, please use the links below Linkedin Profile <https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmavitus/> ICANNWIKI PROFILE <https://icannwiki.org/Emmanuel_Vitus_Agbenonwossi> Resume <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0sLq0-dd4xjWXNpeF9mal9OWXNlOHNTUG1MZzltbi…> Publications <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Emmanuel_Vitus_Agbenonwossi> Phone: +1 (206) 420-9548 *CANDIDATE STATEMENT* *Name:* Emmanuel Vitus *Affiliation: *Afrotribune *Position applied for: *Membership Chair *Why I applied for this position:* As with growth in every institution which is measured by her member's growth, the NPOC membership strength in numbers, engagement, and motivation serves as a stimulus for the advancement of our dear constituency. In this regard, I see myself as having such motivations with new and fresh ideas from interactions i have had with inactive members. I would like to improve on what we ought to be doing and what we have done in NPOC especially at the level of members engagement through capacity building and recruitment with the warm support of all NPOC members when elected. The membership of NPOC is so diverse and it needs active participation from more NGOs and technical folks who work in IGOs / NGOs. With the Executive Committee and members support we need to stimulate our members by doing regional and inter-constituency outreach, distribution of outreach materials with our policy focus by collaborating also with the Councilors actively as well as collaborate with other members of Exco and largely the non-commercial stakeholders group by ensuring that our Policy interest witness a new turn of events and stimulate members interest. One of the key takes that will be my focus is diversity, inclusion, focus, timeliness, trends, dedication and mentorship for new and upcoming members and work towards getting NPOC to take its rightful place and recognition within the ICANN multistakeholder process. My focus, when elected, is to increase capacity building webinars for members policy engagement, strengthen them and notify them of possible funding or support opportunity to also participate onsite at such meetings through the use of CROP or remotely. This I believe will help them participate more actively without feeling left out when it comes to documenting policy thoughts without the necessary incentives and motivation. As a multiple United Nations Official language speaker, I stand in a better position to ensure that members with the language barrier can also be carried along specifically during recruitment efforts. It is my hope that at the end of the tenure, we will be able to measure my performance with the number of members active participation and those that will be recruited to join our growing number. It is my belief that there is a better option in diversity and youthfulness which stands as a major rally point for my supercharged energy to do and perform better than the incumbent Membership chair who has done a lot in his capacity but nee *Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:* No *How many hours per week you are able to dedicate to the position:* At least 6 hours or more as the demand for responsibility brings *Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:* Over the last year, I have been an active contributor to the policies been discussed at the level of NCSG and NCUC ICANN public meetings and remotely in-between. meetings. I have participated actively at my regional RALO in the At-large structure and currently leading the creation of ICANNWIKI French.

Candidate Statement of Interest for Oreoluwa Lesi
by Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi June 5, 2019

June 5, 2019

Thank you very much, Martin for nominating me and to everyone who seconded the nomination. It has been a productive year working as NPOC Secretariat and we have put a lot of stucture in place and are ready to launch NPOC into a higher level of membership and policy engagement. I look forward to being part of this process. Kindly find my statement below and I look forward to providing additional information in the candidates call on Thursday. Best regards, Ore *************** *Name:* Oreoluwa Lesi *Affiliation: *Women's Technology Empowerment Centre - W.TEC *Position applied for: *Secretariat *Why you are running for the position?:* I believe that the work that ICANN does is deeply important and my professional experience and interests place me in an excellent position to contribute meaningfully to achieving its goals. Many nonprofit organisations do not fully understand what ICANN does and its relevance to their work. This means that they do not have the opportunity to get involved in shaping policies, which affects them. NPOC’s role in educating and galvanising nonprofits to greater participation in internet governance in general and domain name policy, more specifically, is crucial in maintaining a vibrant community that includes diverse perspectives and contributions – especially one where nonprofit concerns are valued as much as those of other stakeholders. I bring with me deep experience in the nonprofit sector and understand their concerns, especially as it relates to technology and specifically Internet-related issues. I have worked in the nonprofit space for 17years and lead a nonprofit (the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre – W.TEC <https://wtec.org.ng/>), whichworksto build an inclusive technology ecosystem, with more women technology creators, entrepreneurs and leaders. I also ensure that women and women-focused nonprofits are represented on the Internet, own and can manage their domains effectively, and understand how to address issues like domain name abuse, cybersecurity and privacy challenges. My work centers on increasing digital inclusivity in who can use the Internet safely and effectively to enhance their educational, professional and civic activities. This means that I need to stay abreast of the changing domain name and wider technology policy landscape, especially as related to data security and privacy issues and their intersections withgender.Through ICANN, I have had the opportunity to be at the forefront of learning about the latest domain name systems and related policy and understanding how theyaffect the communities I work with. Over the last year, I have servedas NPOC’s Secretariat and together, the Executive Committee and NPOC community have developed a strategic outreach plan to recruit new members, developed informational materials to educate the wider community about what NPOC does (which includes a booklet, flier and slide deck), rebuilt and launched a more informative and engaging website, organised well-attended sessions at ICANN64 and ICANN63, completed the revision of the new Charter document and renewed its commitment to policy development by successfully submitting a comment to the dot org registry agreement call for public comments. Personally, I coordinated the documenting and monitoring of the EC’s huge workload, helping to keep team members on track with their respective action items. Iprovidedadministrative support, making available information about NPOC meetings and action plans to the EC and NPOC community. Recruitment and engagement of new members is very important to me and I co-organisedand moderated a panel discussionat the Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum, a leading African internet governance forum in April 2019, which alsoservedas outreach for NPOC. Working as Secretariat has also provided me with a unique overview of and the opportunity to work across the broader NPOC landscape from finance to membership, policy, communications and administration. I believe that this experience will strengthen my ability to coordinate NPOC’s administrative tasks and provide more support where needed. In my professional capacity outside of ICANN, I have led and worked as part of teams and have developed the project management and collaborative skills that are valuable for working in the Secretariat role. I am also a member of the Nigerian chapter of ISOC and Alliance for Affordable Internet, as well asISOC SIG Women. I am also a member of the Best Practices Forum on Gender and Access of the IGF and have contributed comments over the last year. I ama _Vital Voices Lead Fellow_(awarded to emerging and established women leaders across the world) and an_Ashoka Fellow_(a network of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs). I speak frequently at Nigerian and international conferences and other fora on the intersection of technology and gender. I sit on several boards, including the FAS Foundation, which builds the capacities of Nigerian engineers and supports engineering research. Within ICANN, I am also a member of the African Regional At-Large Organisation (AFRALO) and NCSG.

I was part of the team that worked on NPOC’s comment to the dot org registry agreement call for public comments. Prior to that, I was a mentee on the Community Onboarding programme and helped to refine the processes to integrate new members to NPOC. I also participated in an NCSG Policy course Advisory Group, where I contributed scenarios for the development of a NCSG Policy course. -- Oreoluwa Lesi - Women's Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC) Executive Director +234.803.621.1307, +234.813.339.9999 | www.wtec.org.ng | @wteconline

Candidate statement - Communications chair
by Ioana Stupariu June 4, 2019

June 4, 2019

Dear all, It is my pleasure to accept the nomination by my fellow colleagues Dina, Martin and Gangadhar, and I am deeply thankful to them for all their trust. They have been amongst those who have supported me since I first joined ICANN in October 2017, as a fellow, and I hope I will finally be given the opportunity to bring my contribution to the community. It has been my main wish and desire since I joined NPOC last year to become part of the awesome team working on making NPOC a strong, impactful name in the ICANN and IG community, a true voice for not-for-profits everywhere in the world, and I've always thought there was no better way to this than as NPOC Communications chair. I am thankful to Caleb as the current Communications chair, he has done a great job, on making the first steps towards that - I am glad we worked together on the Communications strategy and want to congratulate him for the putting up the website during his term. However, I think the role of Comm chair would allow me to explore and implement my many ideas, to exploit the different type of experience and the varied background I have in order to help NPOC to take its branding to the next level. And, at the end of the day, that is what Communications is about, right? Engagement with its members, with the community, branding and PR. And as someone with 10+ years of PR, business development and marketing, I am more than confident I have the creativity, thoroughness and work ethic needed to fulfil this role to the highest standards, if you would entrust me it it. For those of you who do not know me, I have joined ICANN in October 2017 with the Abu Dhabi meeting and have ever since tried to get involved as much as I could (though, I must admit, it is not that easy finding your way through the ICANN labyrinth). I have worked on comments on behalf of NCSG, on several issues, from data protection (as a privacy expert), Red Cross requests, to Operating Standards for Review teams and Fellowship reform. I have been a Fellow and a Coach, and have always tried to do every task I got involved in the best way I could. NPOC has been the group most welcoming to me, and I hoped to get involved since I joined it, right after the elections last year. Outside ICANN, I am GigaNet Secretary, a SEEDIG Ambassador, I have contributed as an organizer to regional IGF, I am a regular speaker at IG conferences and my PhD work is on data regulation around the globe. I am involved in NGO work in my community, trying to get Central-Eastern Europe more involved in IG, and also a strong supporter of women in tech. I leave below my candidate statement, where I list all the reasons why I think you should vote for me. Last but not least, you can find my full CV here <https://legal.ceu.edu/people/ioana-stupariu> and check my LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ioanastupariu/> and Twitter<https://twitter.com/IoanaStupariu>. Thank you so much and may the best candidate win! * Name: Ioana Stupariu * Affiliation: Lawyr.it Association, Central European University * Position applied for: NPOC Communications Chair. In fulfilling this role, I wish to collaborate closely with the other members of the ExCom to fulfil NPOC's mission and hope to be given the opportunity to learn from each and all of them. * Why you are running for the position? Three reasons: 1. Skills and experience: I have been working in business development and marketing for 10+ years, in both business and NGO work. I have done social media campaigns, website development and management, PR campaigns, corporate branding and communication, and so on. I am experienced in using design tools like Adobe suite, newsletter tools (Mailchimp), social media management tools (Hootsuite), website development platform (Joomla and Wordpress). It has always been my passion, which I have been doing continuously for pleasure alongside my legal studies since highschool. 2. Ideas: I have so many ideas on what we could do with NPOC, revolving around: a. Increased social media presence, primarily via Twitter, but not only. b. Regular reporting to and consulting with community members, via website, social media, lists. c. Unitary marketing materials, representing our goals and mission. d. A coherent recruitment strategy, built alongside the Membership Chair, to make NPOC attractive to new members, keep members involved, and most importantly. e. Most importantly, a better understand of what NPOC is and does, and how we can better serve our members (both within and outside NPOC). 3. NPOC: I understand well NPOC and its specific mission, and most importantly, I deeply believe in it becoming a stronger voice, representing its members. Due to my diverse background (having done policy/branding/marketing/NGO work), I think I am strategically placed to create a Strategy that would enhance that in the year to come. I am willing to put in all the work needed and work closely with the EC. * Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?: NO * How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: Not less than dedicated 5 hours per week. * Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state: I am a NCSG, NPOC, NCUC and Euralo member. I have just joined Registration Data Policy Implementation Team, I am a member of the CCWG on Human Rights and member of the European Individuals Working Group. I was also involved in RPM.

June 4, 2019

First, let like thank @Martins for this honour as I wish to humbly accept the nomination with a promise to improve on what we ought to be doing in Policy Committee, of course with the support of all NPOC members when elected. * Name: Remmy Nweke * Affiliation: DigitalSENSE Africa Media. * Position applied for: NPOC Policy Chair * Why you are running for the position?: I would like to improve on what we ought to be doing in NPOC Policy Committee, of course, with the warm support of all NPOC members when elected, especially with the Executive Committee and to support our Councilors actively as well as collaborate with other members of Exco and largely the non-commercial stakeholders group by ensuring that our Policy Development Process (PDP) witness a new turn of events with timeliness, trends, dedication and mentorship for new and upcoming members and work towards getting NPOC to take its rightful place in comity of NomCom stakeholders, among others. * Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?: NO * How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: Not less than dedicated 5 hours per week. * Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state: Of course yes, I am involved in a number of working groups including currently being the NPOC Representative to the NCSG Finance Committee, where I was the pen holder for the first-ever draft Operating Procedure (OP) which is undergoing review among other initiatives as the vice chairman of the (NCSG-FC) in charge of the Secretariat until recently. As a member of NPOC Policy Committee, I have tried often to encourage participation in our Policy Development Processes (PDP). Equally, I am 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 a forerunner of all-inclusive diversity advocacy, accountability and transparency. I recently served as one of the by-lawyers for the NPOC charter review working group and currently member of NPOC team reviewing response for the NomCom Implementation Working Group request for constituencies feedbacks, among others. In liaison with Raoul Plommer our current Vice Chair, I have consistently raised issues of concern to NPOC at the ongoing NomCom Implementation Working Group for adequate inclusion and balanced representation of communities including NPOC in the NomCom.

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 Lagos 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), chief advocate, ICTMedia TinkTank, to name a few. Additionally in Nigeria, DigitalSENSE Africa, an ICANN certified At-Large Structure; where I serve as Lead Strategist, saw efforts at building multistakeholderism which gave rise to nurturing of today’s Nigeria Internet Governance Forum (NIGF) of which I am equally serving as a member of the NIGF-Multistakeholder Advisory Group (NIGF-MAG). Just as I preside over the Protocol, Security and Exhibition Committee for the Civil Society Coalition on Sustainable Development Goals (CSCSDG-2019) in Nigeria and served as a member of the Civil Society Selection Group for the recently concluded WSIS+10 Stakeholder Selection Committee for the United Nations (UN) President of the General Assembly, among others. Therefore, I crave your support to enable us move NPOC and the Policy Committee precisely to the next level as anticipated. So, vote for Remmy Nweke for the chair, Policy Committee.
