Dear NPOC Community,

 

It is with great pleasure that I accept the nomination for the position of  Membership Chair. I'm humbled and see this as a call to service once again

 

I want to thank Prof. Sam Lafranco for nominating me, to Carlos and Poncelet who seconded and to everyone(I wish I could mention everyone’s name but for space constraint) on the mailing list who endorsed my nomination 

 

It has been an exciting year serving as your communication chair and I am proud of some of the modest accomplishments made while working with the rest of the EC and the NPOC community.

 

I look forward to working with everyone to build on what we started but now as a candidate running for the membership committee to achieve greater heights within the ICANN community.

 

Please find below my candidate statement.

 

 

Caleb Ogundele

 

______________________________________________________

 

Name : Caleb Ogundele

 

 

Affiliation:  African Academic Network on Internet Policy (AANOIP)

 

Position applied for:  Membership Committee Chair

 

Why you are running for the position?:

 

NPOC's work within the ICANN community holds an important role and in order to fulfill such roles, it needs to have a very strong and vibrant / well-motivated members within which other stakeholders in 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 ICANN 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 communities within and beyond ICANN

 

 

In the last few months of being part of the Executive Team, we had so much commitment to fulfill this mandate and part of it was to revamp our website to have a good (HCI)human-computer interaction as well as good user interface and mobile responsiveness and periodical newsletter and information passed to the members of NPOC. This was with the help of some members and the EC who committed some of their time during this development which I was glad to have experienced as a team player while leading those efforts as communications chair.

 

Additionally, the bedrock of the GNSO which NPOC is part of is the policy and public comments for the Not-for-Profit Orgs. I have participated in a couple of draft documents used to engage within the NCSG and NPOC. As part of these efforts, i have tried to stimulate the interest while communicating with members by calling their attention to public comments that they can participate and contribute to.

 

Recently, during a major internet governance meeting in my region, I and another member of the NPOC Excom carried out outreach to engage Not-for-Profit, Civil Society domain owners who previously never had a clear understanding of what they stand to benefit in participating in ICANN and by extension NPOC. This was done through a panel session and distribution of promotional materials of NPOC.

 

I strongly believe that if elected as your membership committee chair, my work within the leadership of the NPOC will reflect actionable outcomes, increase in NPOC’s membership activities, member’s quarterly “ask-your-executives anything” sessions, educational webinars as well as outreach and engagements that serves all member’s interest.
  

I represent diversity age and regional wise and with the support of members, they will continue to experience a bottom-up approach consensus to DNS Policy engagement with a focus on realizing the ICANN's multistakeholder PDP missions.

 

I do hope to bring in diversity and a proactive approach to the role I'm putting myself forward for service. 

 

Additionally, I am also active within regional affiliation such as AFRINIC, ISOC-NG Chapter, and AFRALO and currently in a couple of working groups within ICANN. 

 

My participation in different fora within the internet space has also seen my contributions on internet governance policy issues ranging from data privacy, Copyright and Intellectual Property and copyright,  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 a Project Manager, I believe it puts me in a value-added position to what the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) stands for in bringing my industry experience to bear from a technical perspective to serve in the role of membership committee's chair.

Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:

 

No

 

 

How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: 8+ hours

 

Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:

 

Universal Acceptance Measurement WG, CWPG, AFRALO Hot Topics Working Group, IDN Policy Working Group, At-Large Social Media Working Group

NPOC Colleagues,

I would like to nominate NPOC colleague Caleb Ogundele as a candidate for the position of Chairperson of the NPOC Membership Committee.

Caleb has agreed to stand and in due course will be submitting the information and statements as per the requirements of the NPOC Charter.

Caleb is finishing his term as Chairperson of the NPOC Communications Committee and in my view has excellent qualities to chair the Membership Committee. 

He comes to NPOC with an academic and non-profit sector background that will serve well NPOC’s membership efforts and initiatives.

Sam Lanfranco, NPOC
