interesting moment. The organization is increasingly playing a role in the
broader Internet governance ecosystem, especially in discussions about the
institutional architecture of Internet Governance. It has been one of the key
supporters of NETmundial and it has launched the NETmundial Initiative, in
partnership with WEF. I believe my practical and academic experience in Internet
Governance would allow me to contribute to finding the right balance between strengthening
the leadership of ICANN and the need to invest adequate resources in its core
mission. </span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>

under the remit of the organization require careful attention. The implications
of the new gTLD program are being discussed at the GNSO and some issues impact
directly non-commercial interests such as the possibility of protecting INGOs
identifiers. Moreover, actors are increasingly aware of the implications that
some policies have on human rights, such as the discussion on privacy and proxy
services accreditation. I intend to focus particularly on PDPs that are
interlinked with non-commercial and human rights issues. <span> </span></span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>

ICANN’s mission and it also harbors non-commercial interests in ICANN. A strong
GNSO is important for strengthening those interests. In the process of GNSO
review, it is important that the GNSO is improved while also preserving and
advancing non-commercial interests. I believe I can make a good case for that.
Moreover, it is important to ensure that the GNSO is not only strong, but also
balanced. I believe I can contribute to the gender and regional balance at the
GNSO. Several policies are discussed without adequate consideration of their
impact on developing regions of the world. If I get to be elected for the GNSO,
one of my commitments will be to try to identify concerns of developing regions
and voice them in GNSO discussions. </span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>

spaces since 2007, my involvement with ICANN is recent. Nevertheless, I have
become an active member of the community in a short time. I have joined the
NCSG policy committee, which allowed me to have a broad view of the issues that
are currently under discussion in the GNSO and to have a good understanding of
the interests and positions of non-commercial actors. I am also a member of the
cross-community working group on Internet Governance. <br></span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="line-height:115%" lang="EN-US"><br>

which I think is a recognition of the work I am carrying out, such as the
At-Large ATLAS summit (ICANN 50), in the session on the Transition of NTIA´s
Stewardship of the IANA functions (ICANN 50) and in NCUC meeting on ICANN and
global Internet Governance: the road to São Paulo and beyond, during ICANN 49.
