<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">I would like to thank Tapani Tarvainen for nominating me for another term as Chair of NCSG, and thanks to all those who have signaled their support.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>It is an honour to serve you all, and I do feel that I have only got started.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">My name is Stephanie Perrin, I live in Canada, I am a woman and I am retired from 35 years service in the Canadian federal government, where I worked extensively on Data
Protection issues in the Communications and IT departments, including the drafting of the Canadian private sector law.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I took a leave of absence from the government to work as Chief Privacy Officer for Zero Knowledge Systems in 2000, and in 2003 set up my own consulting company, Digital Discretion Inc. I returned to government to work as Director of Research and Policy
in the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada from 2005-7, and retired from Service Canada in 2013. I currently do a bit of privacy consulting, through Digital Discretion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">Given that my work always involves research and the implementation of law dedicated to the promotion of human rights and protection of privacy, it would be a rare occasion
for me to have a conflict in any paid or volunteer work that I engage in, with the goals, activities and objectives of NCSG.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I am well versed in the declaration of conflicts, and will do so should such an occasion arise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">It is a truism that those who work as public servants often underestimate what they have learned in their tasks, in terms of management experience, policy expertise, understanding
of public interest and stakeholder differences, and risk management.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>After 6 years of volunteering at ICANN largely to promote its adherence to privacy law, I have realized that there are other aspects of management that I might usefully contribute to our enterprise here.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I hope to do so over the coming year, focusing on metrics of our engagement, improved assistance to members to contribute, more policies governing our conduct, and procedures to clarify how we operate.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>In particular, I have worked on and hope to bring to our discussions:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">I have been donating about 30 hours a week to ICANN over the past few years.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I am retired (sort of) and can afford to contribute this time, but I recognize it is extremely hard for younger people with careers and families to look after to contribute this amount of time.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>We need to figure out better ways to distribute the workload, but I am certainly willing to give another year of work at this level.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"" lang="EN-US">I consider the multistakeholder model to be one of the more promising forms of governance in the information society, but I cannot say it is working at peak performance
level.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It is one of my goals to help improve how we do this, and it appears that this will be a critical year to focus on this issue, as ICANN.org has announced its intention to renovate the MS model.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I hope you will elect me leader during this critical time, and I also hope that you will join in a rigorous effort to influence the outcome of this change of state at ICANN.</span></p>
