Thanks so much to Glenn for nominating me for the Policy Chair.
I am excited about this role and I accept it.
Caleb has been guiding me on all the policy issues, and I have
been active on the NPOC Policy team for some time. One of my goals
has been to get more people involved in Policy issues. Many of the
policy issues are technical and for that reason many people shy
away from it even after they have taken the policy writing course.
Many people already are working on policy issues, except they do
not realize they are writing policy. Whenever a person posts a
public comment on a policy document, review of a program or
working group, or any document they are writing policy. Besides
the traditional policy issues so as the Transfer review policy,
Domain policy, subsequent Procedures, or IPN, there is also
operational policy. Some examples are the Strategic Plan, the
Travel Policy, work on the multi-stakeholder policy and reviews
such as the NomCom Review that is currently out. These are all
Operational Policy and are a very easy way for NPOCers to get
involved and in drafting policy comments. I hope to copy what
was so successful in At Large these past few years and bring these
innovations to NPOC. We should have monthly or bi-monthly policy
calls for the community. We need to increase engagement in Policy
areas and some of the best way of doing that is a renewed focus on
Operational Policy and a careful picking of other Policy issues
that are pertinent to the non-profit user such as the Transfer
review policy.
As you can see I am passionate about ICANN policy issues and also
in raising the profile of NPOC both with in the NCSG but also with
in the GNSO and other areas. To do that, we need more involvement
of NPOC participants in policy issues. If you vote for me as
Policy Chair. I hope to do just that.
I have gone through the ICANN Leadership Academy and also the
ICANN Intercultural Awareness program. Moreover, I have gone
through On conscious bias, Governance, leadership, chairing and
other training these past two years as NomCom representative and
can bring this knowledge to NPOC.
Here is my GNSO SOI https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=64064480
for your review and I hope to have your vote for Policy Chair. I
look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions as we work
to have an active and participatory NPOC
Best,
Judith
