I've been involved in the internet governance space for about 7 years now, beginning when I was just in high school. I was also a former MAG member for the IGF. Currently, I'm part of a group called Youth4IG, a grassroots initiative made up of young people from Asia Pacific and founded by another NCUC member, Mili. I've been to two ICANN meetings and have helped facilitate a mock ICANN meeting with local students (for ICANN57, I was also part of the Social Media WG then) in the past. My background is mostly on youth initiatives, local outreach/engagement, and capacity building so I admit that policy work is something I'm new at and still learning.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you all for the encouragement to participate and I look forward to the work and discussions and see how I can contribute and learn.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div><div><font face="times new roman, serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px"><b><font color="#000000">Jianne Soriano</font></b></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700"><br></span><span style="font-weight:700"><font color="#fb6303" size="1">Y4IG Mentorship Chairperson</font></span></font></div><div><font size="1" face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(251,99,3)"><span style="font-weight:700">w: </span></span><a href="http://twitter.com/imjiannems" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><font color="#000000">twitter.com/imjiannems</font></a><br><span style="color:rgb(251,99,3)"><span style="font-weight:700">t:</span></span><font color="#000000"> </font><a href="http://twitter.com/youth4ig" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><font color="#000000">twitter.com/youth4ig</font></a> | <span style="color:rgb(251,99,3)"><span style="font-weight:700">w:</span></span><a href="https://youth4ig.asia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:rgb(51,122,183);background-color:transparent" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> youth4ig.asia</span></a></font></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 4, 2019 at 9:31 AM Yawri Carr Q <<a href="mailto:yawridaho04@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">yawridaho04@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello everyone! <div><br></div><div>I’m Yawri from Costa Rica.
