<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Rafik and Pascal,<br><br>I hope this message finds you well. </div><div><br></div><div>I am writing to reiterate my interest in chairing the Finance Committee, a role that I believe my experience as former Vice Chair has prepared me for.<br><br>In my humble opinion, experience counts significantly in our voluntary work at ICANN. Given my pedigree and previous contributions to the committee, I am confident that my leadership will be beneficial to this administration, particularly under your guidance, Rafik.<br><br>As we approach the end of ICANN's financial year, I urge you both to endorse my chairmanship. This will enable us to make meaningful progress and achieve our goals.<br><br>Rafik, as a respected friend, ICANN colleague of long years, and current NCSG Chair, I encourage you to leverage your leadership to streamline NCSG's finances and explore opportunities for improvement, which for me was some of the core reasons we voted you back. A stable financial foundation is crucial for our community's growth and advocacy efforts.<br><br>By supporting my candidacy, you will be contributing to the committee's effectiveness and the NCSG's overall success. I appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and anticipated feedback.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Remmy Nweke<br>Former Vice Chairman, Finance Committee, NCSG</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">___________________</span></div><div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">REMMY NWEKE, </span><font size="1"><i>mNUJ, mNGE, mGOCOP, mnipr</i></font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Lead Consulting Strategist - <a href="https://www.itrealms.com.ng/" target="_blank"><b style="color:rgb(32,33,36)"><font color="#ff0000">DigitalSENSE Africa</font></b></a></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Group Executive Editor, <b><font color="#0000ff">IT</font><font color="#ff0000">REALMS</font> Media</b> group</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">[<i>Multiple-award winning medium</i>]</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div>(<a href="http://www.itrealms.com.ng/" target="_blank">ITREALMS</a>, <a href="http://www.digitalsenseafrica.com.ng/businessnews" target="_blank">DigitalSENSE Business Magazine</a>; <a href="http://www.naijaagronet.com.ng/" target="_blank">NaijaAgroNet</a>)</div><div>No. 36 Afariogun Street, Oshodi-Lagos, Nigeria<br>M: 234-8033592762, 8023122558, </div><div>T: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ITRealms" target="_blank">@ITRealms</a> @DigitalSENSEng<div><a href="https://www.itrealms.com.ng/" target="_blank">2024 <b style="color:rgb(32,33,36)"><font color="#ff0000">Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum on IG4D</font></b>, Thursday June 27</a><br></div><div><a href="https://www.itrealms.com.ng/" target="_blank">2024 <b style="color:rgb(32,33,36)"><font color="#0000ff">IT</font><font color="#ff0000">REALMS</font></b> e-Waste Dialogue, Thursday December 14</a></div><div><a href="http://welcomecentrehotels.com/" target="_blank">@Welcome Center Hotels, Int'l Airport Road, Lagos-Nigeria</a><br></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Former Vice President, African Civil Society on Information Society (ACSIS)</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">______________________________________________________________</span><br></div></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">*Confidentiality Notice:* The information in this document and attachments <br>are confidential and may also be privileged information.
