nominations, as both Farzaneh and Avri in my view are
excellent candidates to lead us in the NCSG. They both work
tirelessly for us in so many different working groups and
committees. They are both frank, honest, and thoughtful. It
is wonderful that we have such a strong field of candidates in
this year's elections, as it augurs well for our future work.</font></font></p>

<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>As it is,<br>

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
