Nominations for Policy Committee chair

May 10, 2018

      Dear colleagues, a very good day,

Permit me to self-nominate Remmy Nweke for the chairman, Policy Committee,
as we approach the NPOC election.

Kindly see my candidate’s response below:

•             *Name:*  Remmy Nweke

•             *Affiliation:*  DigitalSENSE Africa Media

•             *Position applied for:*  Chair, Policy Committee

•             *Why you are running for the position?:*

Having served in the policy committee in the recent past, my decision to
run for the chairman, Policy Committee of NPOC is to take the Policy
engagement of NPOC to the next level, leveraging on our diverse and
collective strength to increase engagement in alliance with other members
of NPOC and larger NCSG family.

I am also  an active individual member of ICANN’s Generic Name Supporting
Organisations (GNSO) like Non-Commercial Users Stakeholder Group (NCSG),
Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) and Not-for-Profit Operational
Concerns Constituency (NPOC) respectively and has been in forefront of
all-inclusive diversity advocacy and is one of those who devoted time and
energy in the NPOC charter review working group among others.

In addition, I am a consistent member of At-Large Advisory Committee of
ICANN under AFRALO - African Regional At-Large Organisation; member of the
ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement; Fellow, Cyber Security Policy
on Human Rights Defenders; Chairman, Communication & Advocacy Committee
(CAC), IPv6 Council Nigeria.

Lately, I served as an elected Executive board member, Nigeria Internet
Registration Association (NIRA), the managers of .NG country code Top Level
Domain and extended my services to several committees including
Communications and Publicity, Accreditation, Finance and Establishment, as
well as an elected Vice President of the African Civil Society on the
Information Society (ACSIS), pioneer branch Secretary, Cyber Security
Expert Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) and former publicity secretary,
Nigeria Internet Group (NIG) cum chairman, International Relations of NIG;
pioneer Secretary, ICT Media Initiative; BARK Foundation – a
knowledge-based advocacy group; Internet Governance Caucus (IGC), to name a
few.

Also in Nigeria, DigitalSENSE Africa efforts at building
multistakeholderism gave rise to nurturing of what is today known as
Nigeria Internet Governance Forum (NIGF) of which I am equally serving as a
member of the NIGF Local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (LMAG), just as I
served as a member of the Civil Society Selection Group for the recently
concluded WSIS+10 Stakeholder Selection Committee for the United Nations
President of the General Assembly, among others.

Personally interested in policy development and particularly as it concerns
the Internet ecosystem, hence, I tend to add-value to my policy-making
drive moving forward, especially having recently been elected Vice
President, African Civil Society on the Information Society (ACSIS) and
have relevant expertise as a Contemporary Diplomacy post-graduate from the
University of Malta and various certifications on Internet related
governance, invariably to translate this opportunity towards improving NPOC
policy engagement in association with other members for the benefit of
entire ICANN community.

I am a member of NCUC | NPOC | NCSG, (DigitalSENSE Africa Media) as well as
the Africa Regional At-Large Organizations (AFRALO); and optimistic of
immensely contributing to future input into NPOC Policy Development Process.

•             *Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:*

NO.

•             *How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the
position:*
