Many thanks to NPOC members for your support and understanding as the EC worked to build a strong foundation for the constituency. *Name:* Joan Kerr *Affiliation: *Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities *Position applied for*: NPOC Executive Committee Chair.

I have been involved in organizing three (3) International Humanitarian Technology Conferences in Canada, and reviewer for the Global Humanitarian Technology Conference.

As the current Chair of the NPOC EC, I feel that we have achieved a great many things in these past few years, including increasing our membership, drafting a new charter, creating marketing materials, submitting policy statements and collaborating with other constituencies within ICANN. However, there is much to be done. Our policy commitments need to initiate, increased communications with our members to collaborate and strengthen NPOC. I see those as the next focus for building NPOC, and I would like to work with the EC to develop both of these. *Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?: NO* *How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position*: I am able to dedicate about 3 hours per week. *Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:* I am not involved in working group, I have spent the time on NPOC's development and organization.

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. You can learn more about me and my work on my: * LinkedIn profile: _https://bit.ly/2ke8u78_ * Organisation W.TEC’s website: _https://wtec.org.ng <https://wtec.org.ng/> _ * ICANN Wiki page: https://icannwiki.org/Oreoluwa_Somolu_Lesi *Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:* No *How many hours per week you are able to dedicate to the position:* At least 5 hours (As the current Secretariat, some weeks I devote up to 10 hours or more to NPOC work) *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 rewriting of the NPOC Charter, working with the rest of the Charter Review team at public meetings and remotely in-between meetings. 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
