Fwd: Nomination for GNSO Council

[Mueller, Milton L]

 I’d also like to second David for Council. Haven’t been following things closely but it seems like we have a shortage of GNSO Council candidates. David has a lot of familiarity with the issues and procedures.

I was arguing against the extension on this list but given that the nominations are in full swing: thanks Dave coming forward and willing to contribute with all your experience! I want to land my support to this nomination.
Warm regards,
Tanya

        After considering the circumstances of this extraordinary election and the re-opening of nominations, and discussion with some trusted colleagues, I have decided to nominate for GNSO Council.

I have previously been a GNSO councillor for 4 years, from 2013 to 2016, and was council vice-chair from 2014-2015. I have also significant experience with the GNSO policy development process, including forming part of the leadership team for a major PDP, and being an active member of several more. I am currently an alternate representing the NCSG in the EPDP.

I believe I have previously demonstrated a strong knowledge of policy development issues, the ability to be an effective councillor, the commitment to do the work during policy processes and for council, and a commitment to representing both NCSG and the GNSO as a strong active advocate.

I am from the Asia-Pacific region, which is currently not represented on the council. I have no commitments in ICANN outside the GNSO (or other than the EPDP alternate role). I am able to commit the time (generally several hours a week, plus three+ meetings a year) that the role requires.

I am an individual member of NCUC and NCSG. I have had roles on both the EC of NCUC (and briefly served as Chair in 2013) and of NPOC, and have good relationships with both constituencies.

On a personal note, I have had some personal and work issues in recent years that have, at times, made it difficult to give ICANN issues the full focus they deserve. I am confident that those issues are resolved, and that I would be able to serve as a strong and fully engaged representative on council, and I am enthused to do so.

Sincerely

David
