<div dir="ltr">Raoul, thank you very much again for this excellent
nomination. Avri's work speaks for itself. Very few people in
the Internet governance sphere (inside and outside ICANN) could
possibly claim to have the experience that Avri has gathered
throughout the years. She does not only understand ICANN from a
technical and policy aspects deeply; she also understands
ICANN's place in the whole ecosystem, which is a very important
quality for someone who is expected to chair the NCSG.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More recently, Avri has accepted the huge responsibility to
co-chair the new gTLD subsequent procedures working group,
probably one of the hardest, heaviest in terms of workload and
most divisive ones in the current ICANN policy making
landscape. She does it with great substantive and political
skills. She is highly respected from bottom-up and top-down,
there is no one that fails to recognise her value as a
participant, as a leader and as a facilitator of processes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Avri has a PhD in speaking the "hard thruths" that need to
be said - something which is extremely important for NCSG -
and also knowing how to avoid the minefields and political
sensitivities. She can be combative when needs be; she can be
diplomatic when needed. Last but not least, Avri is a
wonderful human being, authentic, loyal and kind. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the support to Avri for this position if she chooses to
accept this nomination.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best,</div>
<div>Marilia </div>

<div>As it is,<br>
<br>
</div>
I can not think of a more suitable
candidate to lead the NCSG, than Avri
Doria.<br>
<br>
</div>
The whole of ICANN knows of Avri and most
people have at least an idea of the extent
of work she's done for ICANN and especially
for the NCSG over the years. Those who
don't, can have a look at the page of the
first Multistakeholder Ethos Award that,
coincidentally, was given to Avri, for a
plethora of reasons.<br>

<br>
</div>
<div>On a personal level, I've had many
discussions with her about various subjects
on Internet Governance, both in the IGF as
well as ICANN and she's always been helpful
in explaining things, giving historic
context to past decisions and on the "way
things are", with ease and without getting
frustrated even with a curious rookie like
myself.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I've heard she might be reluctant to take this
position on, but I'm hoping to rally some
support for her so it would become at least
that little bit harder to turn the nomination
down. I believe there is no one else, who is
more familiar with the intricacies of running
a stakeholdergroup of the civil society, in
the ICANN environment. I hope others would
join me in supporting her candidacy.<span
