I am humbly accepting the nomination for the position of NPOC Policy Chair and express my appreciation to those who have supported my candidacy.

Dear all,

I would like to nominate as below:

1. Emmanuel Vitus, our current Policy Chair, to serve as the next Chair of NPOC.

2. Yao Amevi A. Sossou for the position of Policy Chair.

Both individuals have demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication as members of NPOC.

I believe they possess the vision and experience needed to continue strengthening NPOC’s role within the broader ICANN community.

Dear Andrea,

Thank you for notifying us about this election. Since you mentioned the content in your email below, I think it makes sense to nominate them to finish up the remaining one-year term left for their current positions, as proposed by the charter.

All current ExCom positions are open, all are eligible for re-election:

• Chair currently held by, Juan Manuel Rojas-eligible for re-election
• Secretary currently held by, Bolutife Adisa-eligible for re-election
• Policy Chair currently held by, Emmanuel Vitus-eligible for re-election
• Outreach and Engagement Coordinator currently held by Caleb Ogundele-eligible for re-election

Since it is nomination day, I'm nominating all the Excom members for helping to steer us through difficult times in the global multistakeholder process of ICANN to be re-elected back to the positions the positions appended to their names above.

Each of them have demonstrated dedication, expertise, and leadership over the past term. Under Juan Manuel’s guidance as Chair, we have strengthened our strategic direction; Bolutife’s meticulous record‑keeping as Secretary has kept us organized and transparent; Emmanuel has steered our policy discussions with great insight; and Caleb’s outreach efforts have expanded our community engagement.

I wholeheartedly nominate them all for re‑election, and I hope they will accept and continue their invaluable service to our community.

Thank you Andrea for facilitating this process. Please let me know if you need anything further from my side.

I do hope they all accept the nomination.
