Meet the candidates - Q&A on the list!

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Thanks, Bruna.

To all Chair nominees:


One of our biggest challenges is finding active and enthusiastic volunteers
willing to commit significant amounts of their time to policy development
work from our large pool of members. In the past, as a stakeholder group
we've tried out a few strategies to increase our pool of policy volunteers
but with no significant success. I would like to know what exact ideas you
have on this issue.

   - Julf, in your statement, you mentioned that "you are painfully aware
   of how the non-commercial and civil society viewpoints tend to be ignored"
   at ICANN. And you've been around long enough to know about all the efforts
   we as a SG have done in the past in an attempt to grow our pool of active
   and knowledgeable policy volunteers. What do you plan to do differently,
   which might bring us some success on this issue?
   - David , in your statement, you mentioned something about "solid
   outreach plans". Can you unpack that a little for us?

To David Morar:
I see from your resume that you've previously been on the EC, but
personally I am not aware of your work in NCSG and haven't been exposed to
your participation in NCSG (maybe because I am not in the EC). Robin
however mentioned that you did a "wonderful job of looking out for and
representing the voices of non-commercial users at ICANN" Can you tell us a
bit more about what exactly you did to represent non-commercial users at
ICANN?


Warmly,
Tomslin
