Nomination of Peter

[Akinremi Peter Taiwo]

Dear all,

I would like to appreciate the opportunity to serve as the GNSO Councillor.
Thanks to Tomslin for nominating me and for the support of the entire
Non-Commercial to serve on the GNSO council.

I have been involved in the Internet governance space and policy
conversation and engagement since 2013. And over the years, I have
contributed and learned while volunteering and serving in various
capacities at different levels. Through the privileges of exposure and
opportunities, I have developed strong stakeholder engagement and policy
development and its implementation.

My consulting and global experience uniquely position me to drive and
connect the dots. As a Principal Consultant with Compsoftnet (CSN), I
advise small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on regulatory compliance, Data
Protection, and international standards, and capacity development. Also, I
am the Executive Director of Africa Rapporteur Network, a nonprofit
organization that provides RTI (Rapporteuring, Translation, and
Interpretation) services in Africa while availing access to policies,
multilateral and multi-stakeholder outcomes in their preferred languages.

Currently, I represent the Noncommercial (NCUC) on the Nominating Committee
of Internet Corporation Assign Names and Numbers (ICANN), GNSO ICANN
Fellowship selection committee, and the Vice Chair of the NCSG Policy
Committee. Have served on the Standing Selection committee as a member and
as a Vice Chair, West Africa Coordinator of Africa Civil Society on
Information, and many times resource person to the regional, continental,
and global IGF.

My commitment to the mission and objectives of the Noncommercial group has
been unwavering and I have evolved over time in my participation and
engagement within the Noncommercial and ICANN ecosystem.

I am interested in serving as a GNSO Councilor to enable me to contribute
to the GNSO policy development process and lend my energy and experience in
managing PDPs activities. As a GNSO councilor representing the Interest of
the Noncommercial, I would bring the perspective of the noncommercial house
to the policy conversation. This is critical because of the loud interest
of the commercial or other entities in ICANN policy development which can
cause ripple effects and damage the trust of the ICANN community and ICANN
mission.

In terms of governance, governing policy development processes and
activities requires sensitivity to the need of different stakeholder
groups. Also, it requires the ability to engage, active listening,
organization, team spirit, and readiness to volunteer in smaller working
groups.

With an understanding of the time commitment and the workload of the GNSO
council, I can commit the time to participate as a GNSO Councilor. Also,
there is no conflict of interest that hinders my participation as a GNSO
Councilor.

I look forward to working with other NCSG councilors to represent the
interest of the noncommercial while contributing to the ICANN policy
development process.


Regards.

Peter
