Nominating Tomslin Samme-Nlar for the GNSO Council

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Dear all,

Please find below my candidate statement.

*Name:* Tomslin Samme-Nlar

*Declared region of residence:* Asia/Australia/Pacific

*Gender:* Male

*Employment:* Technical Lead at NTT Ltd and cyber security policy researcher

*Any conflicts of interest:* None

*Reasons for willingness to take on the tasks of the particular position:*
As a first time fellow in ICANN60, we were made to study all the
stakeholder groups in ICANN, so that we would be able to make informed
decision as to which constituency/stakeholder group we identify with. As
someone from the technical community, it was hard to choose, but then I
went back to why I was interested in policy in ICANN in the first place.
Which was and still is to represent the interest of non-commercial internet
users, especially those from developing countries. I have had to now move
to Australia because of employment, but that reason for participating in
ICANN has never changed.

*Qualifications for the position:*
Since joining NCSG, I have participated in numerous policy activities
including being a GNSO appointed chair and NCSG representative to the IANA
Naming Function Review Team. I have also drafted many comments for NCSG. I
believe this experience, learning and network, together gives me the
knowledge required to represent NCSG at the GNSO council.

*Statement of availability for the time the position requires: *
By virtue of living in Australia and chairing a review team, I am no newbie
to 3AM meetings. I am fully aware of how much effort and time commitment is
required as a GNSO councilor, luckily my new working arrangement gifts me
back up to 2 hours daily. Time I would otherwise be commuting. This gives
me the opportunity to contribute more to policy work.

Best Regards,
Tomslin
