| Leah Symekher | Eduardo Diaz Judith Hellerstein |
| It has been a great honor to represent NARALO on the 2018 ICANN Nominating Committee. I thank you for nominating me for the first term and ask for your consideration for a second term. This first year, 6 months to be exact, serving on the NOMCOM has allowed me to engage fully with the leadership and team delegates from different parts of the world and constituencies to focus on one common goal of selecting qualified candidates for the ICANN leadership & Board. I have actively contributed and participated in the full process, including several subcommittees and attending all calls and meetings. I have kept constant communication with NARALO and updated the community on the NOMCOM progress (except where confidentiality applies) as is my responsibility. My business development profession in the DNS space working with global clients and involvement in ICANN and as Chair for SFBay ISOC Chapter & ALS, provided a good foundation for me to succeed in this role. I believe a second term will give me the opportunity to leverage the experience from my first year and allow me to be even more effective in my contribution to the ICANN Community, the Internet and ALAC / NARALO community. I thank you for your consideration. | Leah Symekher SOI | ||

| I’m new to ICANN and NARALO, but I can provide innovative ideas combined with over 30 years of experience in network and infrastructure environments to the team. I was born and raised in Argentina, and I have worked in multicultural environments (such as in Southeast Asia). This experience has given me a broad perspective on multiple aspects, and I’m ready to bring my effort and energy to this new position and do my best to support NARALO and ICANN. | Adrian Schmidt SOI |
