Dear NPOC Members, I am pleased to nominate Emmanuel Vitus as a candidate for the position of NPOC Chair. Emmanuel brings extensive experience in Internet governance, digital policy, multistakeholder engagement and international coordination across Africa and globally. Over the years, he has demonstrated strong leadership in Internet governance and a consistent commitment to advancing public interest perspectives within digital governance processes. I believe Emmanuel has the vision, experience and collaborative approach needed to help steer NPOC at this important moment and to further strengthen the constituency’s engagement and visibility within the ICANN community.
