Self Nominated

I am stepping forward as a candidate for the NARALO ALAC representative position. I have been an active participant of ALAC for a number of years now including co-authoring policy positions, attending ICANN meetings, and engaging with At Large and other SO/ACs as a member of WGs and CCWGs. As NARALO’s ALAC representative, my first priority would be to listen and bring your concerns and contributions to ALAC discussions. I left the private sector and academia to found a non-profit focused on serving and empowering Internet users. Serving NARALO is a continuation of my service and I humbly ask for your support.

I would be honored to represent North American Internet end users to ICANN through the ALAC.  I am independent of commercial as well as non-commercial stakeholder interests and endeavor to make objective and carefully considered contributions to the policy development process.  I would do my best to listen and constructively implement views held by other At Large participants as well as those of the wider end user community.  If selected, I would make time for this important role by downsizing my practice.

After 10 years of participating in the NARALO space and representing the region in ALAC, NomCom, IANA Transition CWWG, and other working groups and working parties (please see my SOI), I am motivated to assume a leadership such as the one I have been nominated for. We should continue to build upon the work of the past Chairs on outreach, planning and strategy building for the region. In addition, I will strive to enhance our policy discussions and contributions to serve the end user’s interest.
