Perrin, resident of Pakenham, in the Ottawa
Valley, Ontario, Canada.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
am honoured
to be nominated for the position of Chair of the NCSG.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I am a privacy and
information policy
consultant, retired from a 30 year career in the federal public
service of
Canada, where I worked for most of that time on privacy and
information policy
issues in the department responsible for telecommunications.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I retired in 2013 and
completed my doctorate
in Information studies at the Faculty of Information, University
of Toronto,
Toronto Canada in 2018.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>My
dissertation
was on the contention between ICANN and the data commissioners
of the world,
over the WHOIS directory.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
have been
engaged with civil society for many years, and am on the
Advisory Board of the
Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New
Roman";
color:#002060" lang="EN-US">I was recruited to
come and volunteer as a privacy expert on the
Experts Working Group on a new directory service for gTLD
registration data by
Kathy Kleiman of NCUC in 2013, and the privacy struggle here was
so interesting
that I became hooked.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
committee I
was on worked very hard for a year and a half, and I joined the
NCSG in 2014
and ran successfully for the GNSO Council shortly thereafter.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>(I also changed the topic
of my dissertation
to the WHOIS struggle.)<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
have worked in
a great many policy development processes since then, including
the WHOIS
conflicts with law implementation advisory group, the cross
community working
group on policy and implementation, the privacy/proxy services
working group,
and the RDS PDP which has worked strenuously for two years on
the WHOIS policy
and is now suspended. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New
Roman";
color:#002060" lang="EN-US">I don’t believe
that I have any conflicts of interest at the
moment.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I am not
actively seeking
business in my consulting practice, and will avoid any potential
work which
might conflict with NCSG and ICANN.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> I am working with my University on
a research project on the utility of standards in managing
third party access to personal registration data, which of
course is central to the WHOIS struggle, but I have no
economic or professional interest in the results of that
research. </span>I
believe that I have been very active since arriving at ICANN,
and have the
necessary background in its policies and procedures to play a
useful role as
the Chair.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>As an
executive in a large
government, I have had the benefit of quite a bit of training in
administrative
procedures, finance, metrics and program evaluation, human
resources
management, and in risk management.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
hope some of that background can be useful to our organization,
and it helps me
analyze some of the puzzles we face at ICANN.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Since I worked in the Department of Communications for
most of my
career, and was working closely with US and European
counterparts during the
formation of ICANN, I am quite familiar with its history, and
the policy
driving its creation.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New

color:#002060" lang="EN-US">I have observed the
hard work of previous Chairs of NCSG, and of
its two constituencies, since I arrived at ICANN.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I am grateful that a lot of
terrific work has
been done recently, in stabilizing our Charter and some of our
policies.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I would like
to see further development in
our ability to train and develop people to take positions of
leadership, and to
contribute meaningfully to the PDPs and cross community working
groups.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This is a
difficult problem; we have had a
burnout issue since I arrived at ICANN, and the job of
participating appears
not to be getting any easier, as there seems to be more to learn
every
year.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I came to ICANN
with quite a deep
background, and it still took me over a year to figure out what
is
happening.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We need to
work with ICANN to
help our members who are interested in participating, to develop
skills and
knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I plan to
make this a
priority.</span></p>

color:#002060" lang="EN-US">I also think that
we spend more time than is necessary in
fractious debate amongst ourselves and between our
constituencies.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We pride
ourselves in speaking our minds, and
I support that 100%, but we can stand to work on our diplomatic
and empathic
skills, in my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Most
of us have
feelings, and when we volunteer our time we prefer to work with
a feeling of
respect and solidarity towards each other.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I will try to speak plainly about what I think, but with
respect to all.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I will
actively encourage others to do the
same.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>You may call me
Grandma if you
like, that is what I am.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>(I

consultative approach….first of all, I don’t plan
to do all the work and that includes the thinking!<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I would like to know what
the members think
about issues. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you
have ideas about those
two priorities I just listed, the burnout and development
problem, and the
solidarity and respect issue, please let me know.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>My third priority will be
to continue the
excellent progress that has been made on our contributions to
the GNSO policy
process, and make sure that our approach to staffing the policy
development
processes and preparing comments is as good as it can be, and
that we are doing
what we can to support our folks who are doing the work.</span></p>

NCSG job is administrative, working closely
with the leaders in NPOC and NCUC.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I
hope to build on the ongoing work of developing transparent
procedures, and
furthering the growing harmony between the constituencies.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Our outreach efforts must
be focused on
having a meaningful presence, not just scooping up new members
who remain
bewildered about who we are and what we do.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>We need people to be engaged in the real work of ICANN,
managing the
DNS, which sadly can be boring and tedious at times, not to
mention rather
technical.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We need to
ask ourselves and
our members why they stay members, or why they leave.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There is a growing gulf
between the handful
of members who are actively working as volunteers in the policy
processes, and
those who may well be interested but have no time to take an
active role.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>For those
people, what do they need to stay
engaged enough to read our email list?<span

enough time to do this job.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>As
indicated, I am retired and not
particularly busy as a consultant.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I am
on the EPDP and the WHOIS Review team, both of which will demand
some of my
time.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We have a great
team on the EPDP,
so I am confident that this will not take as much of my time as
the previous
RDS working group did.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
propose to find
a replacement for myself on the Auction Proceeds CCWG, and the
PPSAI IRT, where
I have been participating during the past year.<span

</span>I will of course be following the GNSO Council meetings
closely, but
without the homework I had to do as a Councilor.<span
