The best possible option that evolved is to align the election dates making it easier for the election processes, including the Stakeholder Group and Constituencies elected positions. Therefore, our elections timeline is the following: *Date* *Action* May 13 - June 07 Check in period 23 May - 06 June Nomination period 07 June: Deadline for nomination acceptance and candidate statement. *Check in ends.* 09 June: Voter roll finalized 08/09 June: Meet the candidates calls 10 June - 23 June: Voting Period 24 June: Results announced *Please note that the period from the election to taking office is a four (4) months.* Regards, -- Joan Kerr, Entrepreneur, Artist, Humanitarian _____________________________________ Chair, Climate Smart Victory Garden Team Chair, ICANN, Not for Profit Operations Constituency Chair, IEEE Sustainable Agriculture Working Group Chair, Science for Peace, Climate Smart Victory Gardens Advisor, IEEE Humanitarian Initiatives Committee Advisor, Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network, (CSAYN) Canada UN WSIS Award Recipient, for Content & Creativity Durham Region Recipient, Community Partnership Award Founder, Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities www.joankerr.ca, www.fbsc.org Skype: joankerr_fbsc 1-416-907-0783

by Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi May 3, 2019

May 3, 2019

Hi everyone, Yesterday, Caleb Ogundele and I organised and participated in a session at the recently-concluded Digital Rights Inclusion Forum 2019 here in Lagos, Nigeria called "*I**nternet Governance: Multi-stakeholderism and Participation in the Assigned Names and Numbers Space.*" This session featured: * _Anriette Esterhuysen <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anriette_Esterhuysen> _(NCUC and NomCom) * _Ines Hfaiedh <https://icannwiki.org/Ines_Hfaiedh> __(NCUC AND AFRALO) _ * _Caleb Ogundele <https://icannwiki.org/Caleb_Olumuyiwa_Ogundele>_(NPOC, NCUC and AFRALO) * _Sunday Folayan <https://icannwiki.org/Sunday_Folayan>_(ccNSO) * _Lawrence __Olawale-Robert <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrenceor/>__s_(BC and NomCom) * _Oreoluwa Lesi <https://icannwiki.org/Oreoluwa_Somolu_Lesi>_(NPOC and AFRALO) – Moderator _(__Seun Ojedeji <https://icannwiki.org/Seun_Ojedeji>_of ALAC, AFRALO and ASO was meant to have joined us, but was unavoidably absent due to work obligations.) Our session explained who ICANN is, their role in ensuring the interoperability and coordinating key technical and policy aspects of the underlying core infrastructure and the domain name system. Our discussion included explanations of the multistakeholder model, the ICANN structure, PDPs, GDPR and EPDPs and ways to contribute to and join ICANN,. All in all, I hope and believewe had an engaging and interesting discussion, sharing what we do at ICANN. You can watch the *video recording *here: https://youtu.be/v_Pzfd6v4Sk I will be putting together a short report about the session over the next week and will be sure to share it with you all.
