Hello NPOC members, Thank you Raymond for the nomination and I appreciate it. I am Sarata Omane and I accept the nomination for Policy Committee Chair. I will bring in ideas and skills to support the good works that have been done over the years. I am willing to put in the hours as long as it is required. I do not have any conflict of interest that will arise in taking up this position. I have been working and contributing to several WG within the broader ICANN ecosystem such as - Operations, Finance and Budget WG; Universal Acceptance and UA Communication WG.

Dear all,
I nominate Sarata Omane as the Policy Committee Chair. Sarata has been an ICANN Fellow on several occasions, and also a Fellow of the Africa School on Internet Governance. She is actively engaged in several local initiatives in Ghana to bring more folks to the internet governance ecosystem. I have personally been working with her on several initiatives here in Ghana and she is very supportive. She coming to the role of the Policy Chair will bring new dimensions to the NPOC EC.
Sarata will be a good add on to the NPOC leadership since she is extremely hardworking and can perform the role of the Policy Chair very well.
I hope she will accept my nomination.
