<b>Subject:</b> Nomination of Bruna, Christabel Mebaghandu and Juan Manuel</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-size:inherit">
<div style="font-size:inherit">
<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>First of all, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who nominated and encouraged me for the Council role this year. I am truly honoured by the trust and confidence placed in me by members of this community.</p>
<p>After careful reflection, I have decided not to accept the Council nomination this year. I have instead accepted to run for the NPOC Chair role because I genuinely believe that this is where I am most needed at this particular moment for our community
and for non profit organizations across the Internet governance ecosystem.</p>
<p>We are entering a period of major geopolitical uncertainty, shrinking civic spaces and increasing pressure on civil society organizations globally. In many ways, and to borrow from Game of Thrones, it feels like winter is coming for parts of civil
society within digital governance spaces. This moment requires stronger coordination, strategic positioning and renewed solidarity among non profit actors.</p>
<p>For the NCSG Chair role, I would like to nominate Bruna.</p>
<p>Bruna and I have had our own lively debates, and perhaps a few friendly policy battles along the way, but that is also why I respect her. She is collaborative, principled and able to stand her ground when it matters. At this moment, NCSG needs
someone who can bring people together while also defending the community’s interests with clarity and courage.</p>
<p>For the Council seats, I would like to nominate Christabel Mebaghandu and Juan Manuel.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:inherit">I have had the opportunity to see Christabel grow over the years as a mentee and emerging policy voice within our community. I have been particularly impressed by her contributions within the ongoing DNS Abuse Working
Group and by her overall commitment to policy processes and community engagement. We often speak about building the next generation of leadership, but at some point we must also be willing to give them the same opportunity and trust that many of us once received
when others believed in us.</span><br clear="none">
</p>
<p><span style="font-size:inherit">I would also like to nominate Juan Manuel, a respected veteran within the community whose experience, institutional memory and long standing engagement continue to be valuable assets for the NCSG and the broader
ecosystem.</span></p>
<p>Best regards,<br clear="none">
