<p><font size="+1">First, I would like to thank Tapani Tarvainen for
nominating me for a council position, Raoul Plommer for
seconding, and for the kind messages of support that several of
you have posted on the list. I hope to reward your trust by
working hard on council. Policy work is really my forte; while
I have enjoyed the two years I have spent as NCSG Chair, it has
been difficult and I would not have made it without the
excellent admin support from Maryam Bakoshi, and the warm and
collaborative working relationship that I enjoyed with Joan Kerr
and Bruna Santos. It makes the job easier when we all pull
together, and I hope that spirit continues with the new
executive leadership team.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Here is my candidate statement: <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Name: Stephanie Perrin <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Region of residence: North America <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Gender: female <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Employer: Digital Discretion Company Inc. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Conflict of interest: I work as a privacy and
information consultant, and I do not take clients who are not
acting in good faith to comply with law, so I doubt that there
are conflicts of interest. Were I to have a client whose
interests might be in conflict of those of ICANN, I would recuse
myself from relevant activities. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">
Reasons for willingness to take on the tasks of the particular
position: <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"> I joined as a volunteer at ICANN in order to
assist in bring data protection perspectives to the famous WHOIS
or Registration Data Services Directory. I would like to
continue working on that until there is a reasonable chance that
the work done on the EPDP will not falter. While I could
certainly do that work on various working groups, there are
important decisions coming to Council as these matters conclude.
I also am keenly interested in the potential GNSO Review, and in
the implementation of PDP 3.0. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">We received approval for an additional budget
request for this coming year, to work on leadership development
and training. I feel strongly that we need better transitioning
between those like myself who are ready to leave active
participation in NCSG and make space for new blood, and younger
folks who are keen to participate and learn but find the water
just a little cold and deep to jump in head first. We need a
better mentoring and training package, and I hope to help the
new NCSG Chair in developing that. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Qualifications for the position: I have now
served as a volunteer at ICANN since February 2013, or 7 years.
Committees and activities include:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="+1"> Expert Working Group on the RDS (2013-2014)<br>
</font></li>
<li><font size="+1"> GNSO Council 2014-2017<br>
</font></li>
<li><font size="+1"> Chair NCSG 2018-2020<br>
</font></li>
<li><font size="+1"> WHOIS conflicts with law working group</font></li>
<li><font size="+1">RDS PDP</font></li>
<li><font size="+1">EPDP I & II<br>
</font></li>
<li><font size="+1">RDS II Review Team</font></li>
<li><font size="+1">various other committees and pdps<br>
</font></li>
</ul>
<font size="+1">Statement of availability for the time the position
requires:<br>
</font>
<p><font size="+1"> 2020 has been a very busy year for me, and the
current COVID 19 social distancing regime has also caused
considerable disruption. In principle, the following year should
be a little easier, if only because there will be much less
travel! I am semi-retired, although very active with other
volunteer activities and some client work. In principle, I have
the time and the flexibility to adjust to the rigours of ICANN
volunteer work.</font></p>
