Good day everyone, Kindly find below my candidate statement for the position of Secretariat in the upcoming elections. Regards, Ore ************************ •Name: Oreoluwa Lesi •Affiliation: Women's Technology Empowerment Centre - W.TEC •Position applied for: Secretariat *•Why you are running for the position?:* The work that ICANN does is deeply important. However there are many in the nonprofit and civil society communities who do not fully understand what ICANN does and its relevance to their work. This means that they do not have the opportunity to get involved in shaping the policies, which affects them. As someone whose work is focused on getting more girls and women aware of the potential of technology for career, entrepreneurship and leadership opportunities, I interact with a lot of digitally under-represented groups and am constantly exploring strategies to bridge this divide. A proactive and responsive ExCom provides leadership for NPOC members to contribute to DNS policy, both by creating awareness of ways to do this and by mapping paths to recruit new members. I would like to help build on the excellent work of the current ExCom so far, by helping to coordinate the administrative responsibilities and make sure that necessary information about NPOC, meetings, finances are available in a timely manner and in a variety of media. In my professional and other capacities, I have both led and worked as part of teams and have developed the organisational, time management and collaborative skills that will be valuable working in the Secretariat role. In my brief time as an active member of NPOC, I have participated in several initiatives, like the Community Onboarding and charter review. You can learn more about me and my work here: https://bit.ly/2ke8u78 and https://wtec.org.ng. *•Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:* No *•How many hours per week you are able to dedicate to the position:* 5.5 hours *•Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state:* I was a mentee on the Community Onboarding programme and helped to refine the processes to integrate new members to NPOC. Being a newer member, contributing to this process was very important to me. I also contributed to the revision of the NPOC charter. At the 2018 Intersessional, I worked with the rest of the working group to review the new version of the charter for flow and ease of use. More recently, as part of the NCSG Policy course Advisory Group, I contributed scenarios for the development of a NCSG Policy course. -- Oreoluwa Lesi - Women's Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC) Executive Director +234.803.621.1307, +234.813.339.9999 | www.wtec.org.ng | @wteconline On 10/05/2018 4:07 PM, Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi wrote:
Thank you, Joan for the nomination and thank you to all who supported this nomination. NPOC's work within ICANN serves an important - though sometimes overlooked - constituency and I look forward to the opportunity to serve in this role if elected.
Kind regards, Ore
