<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I have a strong noncommercial interest in Domain Name System (DNS) policy, particularly in ensuring equitable access to domain names, internet governance, and digital rights.
As an educator and researcher, I am keen on how DNS policies impact access to information, online privacy, and the digital inclusion of marginalized communities. My interest aligns with the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG) values, as I advocate for
policies that support internet accessibility, freedom of expression, and the protection of noncommercial users' rights. Joining NCSG would allow me to contribute to discussions on fair and transparent domain name policies while learning from experts in the
field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
