Hello,

I write to express my interest in volunteering as a member/Liaison of 
the NCSG on the second IANA Naming Function Review (IFR) team.

I am Stephen Dakyi, a member of NCSG from the Africa region. I serve as 
Executive Director of DABY Foundation, a non-profit that facilitates the 
participation and inclusion of basic school pupils in the discussions 
and attainment of the SDGs. I also serve as head of Operation of Divine 
Organic Hub, an organic products retail outlet.

As a non-profit manager with a strong interest in human and child rights 
protection, serving as a member of or liaison to the second IFR team 
would provide me with a unique opportunity to contribute to the 
accountability and improvement of the IANA naming function. It would 
allow me to actively participate in ensuring contractual compliance and 
promoting transparency within the organization. By being involved in the 
team, I can have a direct impact on decisions and collaborate with 
experts in the field, further enhancing my professional development and 
expertise in this specialized area.

   I am equipped with a comprehensive skill set which I would bring  to 
the review team, my expertise in project management, interpersonal 
skills, leadership, report writing, analytical skills, communication 
skills, and teamwork will  enable me to contribute effectively to the 
evaluation of PTI's performance and the achievement of the team's 
objectives.

My understanding of  IANA functions revolves around its role in managing 
and ensuring the global uniqueness of three types of Internet 
identifiers: protocol parameters, IP addresses, and domain names. I 
understand that IANA coordinates the assignment and registration of 
protocol parameters, oversees the allocation and management of IP 
addresses, and manages the coordination of domain names within the DNS. 
I recognize the significance of these functions in facilitating the 
smooth operation and growth of the Internet.

   I believe the main purpose of the IFR team is to evaluate and review 
Public Technical Identifiers' (PTI) performance and ensure it compliance 
with the requirements of the IANA Naming Function Contract, and assess 
its openness and transparency procedures and consider any changes that 
need to be  implemented.  The team also has an oversight of reviewing  
the IANA Naming Function Statement of Work to ensure alignment with its 
scope and responsibilities.

I have reviewed the document on  IFR2 Mandate and it time schedule of 
work, and I  confirm that I understand the time necessary to participate 
in the IFR process and can commit to the role if  appointed.

Thanks and to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Stephen Dakyi
