Nomination Bruna Santos as Councilor

Thu May 5 13:03:32 EEST 2022

Dear all,

Please find below my candidate statement:

Candidate Statement - Bruna Santos

Name: Bruna Martins dos Santos

Declared region: LAC

Gender: Female

Employment: Visiting Researcher at the WZB Berlin (until September)

Conflicts of Interest:  none that im aware

Reasons for willingness to take on the position: After a long time serving
in administrative positions throughout NCSG and NCUC, as chair of both
groups, I believe its time for me to use my knowledge about the ICANN
community and its stakeholder model in a different way. Therefore, I would
like to continue working on behalf of our community but in a more strategic
way as GNSO Councilor. Given the current difficulties of engagement on
policy work from our members and due to the amount of new initiatives taken
on by org, i would like to be part of the group of GNSO Councilors and hell
strengthen our SG participation on PDPs.

Having spent the past 4 years in leadership positions I believe I was able
to have a comprehensive view of the challenges faced by our Stakeholder
Group while existing as the sole civil society voice within GNSO, as well
as some of the intricacies of our groups. In light of being an avid
advocate for ICANN's Multistakeholder model and Civil Society participation
on it, as well as NCSGs relevance to the model, I would love the challenge
being elected as a GNSO Councilor

Qualifications for the position:

I hold a BA in Law with experience in Internet Regulation, Human Rights and
International Law and experience in policy making processes regarding the
Internet that started back in 2011 while I had the chance to work at the
drafting team of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet.
Ever since then, I have worked for the brazilian government until 2016, as
a legal advisor on social matters, and as advocacy coordinator for several
collectives and Civil Society Organizations in Brazil, and have engaged
with politicians and policy makers, as well as other stakeholder groups in
high level conversations pertaining the most different aspects of the
Internet. Currently I hold the position of Visiting Researcher at the
Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), where i'm conducting an one year
project on Social media platform governance.

Moving on to ICANN, I have been involved with our stakeholder group since
2017 - when I joined as a member after remotely following our discussions
for years. Ever since, I have served as NCUC Chair, Vice-Chair and NCUC EC
representative for the LAC region, and currently hold the position of NCSG
Chair. Besides the leadership positions, I have contributed to NCSG's
policy work, having volunteered for being one of the pen holders for some
of the provided input to the New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures WG Comments
and am an alternate at the EPDP Phase #2.

Statement of availability for the time the position required:

I confirm that I have the required availability to focus on the needed
discussions and processes where a GNSO Councilor is required. Despite
working full time I have managed to successfully complete my terms both as
NCUC and NCSG Chair with a fair amount of time dedicated to the chair
duties, and the same is likely to happen if I'm elected.

Additional information:

Apart from my work at ICANN I am also one of the co-coordinators of
Internet Governance Caucus and an IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group
member, have acted as one of the key constituents at the roundtable
designated for debating recommendations 3A/B of the High-Level Panel on
Digital Cooperation, and help coordinate the Internet Governance Forum's
Best practice Forum on Gender and Digital Rights.
