Dear NPOC Communnity,
I was thinking, what things I can show you, to know more about me.
And I imagine, the best I can show is what was the activity and commitment with policies into ICANN environment in the first round of New gTLDs time.
So, I decide to do a brief resume on my participations on that time, what gave me an enormous experience, experience what I want to give to add to the policy coordinator position, if you finally vote by me.
On this order, and because I didnt remember my participations, I ask to the AI the follow question:
My surprise was the answer to this question :
