Thank you Poncelet for nominating me and Joan, John and Olevié seconding it. I will gratefully accept! Now, I know I've been somewhat slacking while I was in Mexico for the last two and a half months, but I have all the intentions to continue the great work Joan has done over the last three years. She's been nurturing NPOC from teetering on the edge of existence to what it is today: a rather strongly growing constituency with a new charter, some actual competition over the leadership positions, increased policy statements and perhaps most importantly, a working environment that is encouraging and friendly, especially for new members. I have finally returned home in Finland today, and I have every intention on working hard to keep NPOC in its upward trending trajectory, where Joan has led us. One of the tools in making it happen, is our NextCloud instance (https://work.npoc.org) for document storage and collaboration. I will start today to create credentials for all of NPOC members to better enable us all in creating policy for the Not-for-Profit Organisations' constituency. Send me a private message and I will add you. -Raoul On Sun, 17 May 2020 at 21:19, Raymond Mamattah <mamattah.raymond@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, Ioana finished off the CROP applications too, and has contributed to public comments from NPOC in the past year, so I'd say she has really got her hands dirty with us. They say ICANN has three professional areas mostly, lawyers, techies and politicians. Ioana happens to be a tech lawyer and I could easily see her do quite well in politics too. :) -Raoul On Mon, 25 May 2020 at 16:36, Joan Kerr <joankerr@fbsc.org> wrote:

Again I want to thank you all for my nomination and support for the Communications Chair role. Kindly find my statement below. Ore *************** *Name:* Oreoluwa Lesi *Affiliation: *Women's Technology Empowerment Centre – W.TEC *Position applied for: *Communications Chair *Why you are running for the position?: * ****I believe that the work that ICANN does is deeply important and that my prior ICANN and professional experience place me in an excellent position to contribute meaningfully to achieving its goals – especially as the Communications Chair.

I alsoco-organised and moderated a panel discussion at the Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum, a leading African internet governance forum in April 2019, which served as an outreach opportunity for NPOC. With fellow NPOC member Caleb Ogundele, another panel was planned at the same conference for 2020. Working as Secretariat has provided me with a unique overview of as well as the opportunity to work across the broader NPOC landscape from finance to membership, policy, communications and administration. I believe that this experience will strengthen my ability to carry out the Communication Chair’s primary work, which is to coordinate the efficient exchange of information between NPOC, NCSG and the ICANN community. Indeed, part of my work as Secretariat was the regular communication of key information from the EC meetingswith the rest of the NPOC community. I bring with me deep experience in the nonprofit sector and understand their concerns, especially as it relates to technology and specifically Internet-related issues. I have worked in the nonprofit space for 18 years and lead a nonprofit (the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre – W.TEC <https://wtec.org.ng/>), which works to build an inclusive technology ecosystem, with more women technology creators, entrepreneurs and leaders. My work centers on increasing digital inclusivity in who can use the Internet safely and effectively to enhance their educational, professional and civic activities. This means that I need to stay abreast of the domain name and wider technology policy landscape, especially as related to data security and privacy issues and their intersections with gender.It also means that I have experience communicating often complex concepts to my nonprofit stakeholders. In my professional capacity outside of ICANN, I ama Vital Voices Lead Fellow(awarded to emerging and established women leaders across the world) and anAshoka Fellow <https://www.ashoka.org/en-ng/fellow/oreoluwa-somolu>(a network of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs).

Dear Oreoluwa, Thank you for accepting this nomination. As the outgoing Communications Committee Chair, I'm so thrilled and excited that you will surpass our current communications strategy which you were also a team member and bring fresh perspective and dynamism to the role. There is nothing that gives me so much joy to know that you will do great stuff in this position given your team playing spirit and experience of the NPOC's EC. Please note this as my endorsement to your candidacy and wish you all the best in the elections. Caleb On Thu, May 28, 2020 at 12:06 PM Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi <oreoluwa@wtec.org.ng> wrote:
