[Ncsg-discuss] Candidate statement: GNSO Councillor (APAC)

[Juliana Harsianti]

My name is Juliana Harsianti, female, and I live in Indonesia which is part
of the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. My day job is an independent researcher,
and has been working with academia, civil society advocacy and policy
development. I put my interest in these issues : multilingual internet,
cybersecurity, open source, DNS and data protection. I have been mostly
with the marginalized community, civil society organization, as well as
journalist. So far, I don’t see any conflict of interest between my day
work and my involvement at ICANN


My primary official involvement with ICANN was through the ICANN Fellowship
Program, as I was selected for ICANN72 and ICANN77 Fellow. Immediately
after I completed my last fellowship program, I got exposed to the new gTLD
application program when I joined ICANN Policy Development Accelerator
Program part 1 and 2, as very first participants along with other ICANN
Fellow alumnus.


After I completed the Policy Development Accelerator, I decided to join
NGSG and  Universal Acceptance (UA) Working Group, since it was  in line
with my interest and working experience. I participated in several public
comments under NCSG Policy Committee : new gTLD application program
guidebook, RDRS, and string similarity on new gTLD program. I also
participated several times on the APAC DNS Forum. Recently, I have been
taking part on Latin Script Diacritic PDP and DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP as a
member.


Starting last year, I have served as NCUC Executive Committee for Asia
Pacific. During my tenure I have been helping the ICANN85 Fellow and Next
Gent to get more on NCSG and NCUC Communities. I also responded to the
questions from new NCUC members - especially from the APAC region - about
how they could participate more within NCUC and NCSG Policy Development. A
moment ago,  I was helped to organize the 2nd NCUC Quarterly Webinar on
Free Open Source and Software (FOSS)


The reason I accepted the nomination for GNSO Councilor candidacy is I
think I could serve and contribute my knowledge to represent non community
voice more into GNSO Council. As my experience in several policy
development and PDPs, the non-commercial interest and voices need to
continue and have always been expressed loudly within the GNSO and ICANN
Community in general. When certain policy development has been developing
and under discussion,  the under-represented communities concerned need to
bring constantly into the table to make it considered within the policy. It
means to bring everything related with human rights, and to prevent abuse
of power from certain parties.


Having been working with marginalized communities, bring me into
realization that inclusivity in the digital world is something I need to
constantly push through, as in many cases it would be easily forgotten and
violated. When DNS Abuse and HRIA, as among non-commercial related issues
which have been successfully taken into policy; security and openness are
something need taken into consideration too.


Last but not least, aside from ICANN, I also active on Internet Governance
Forum in national (ID-IGF), regional (APrIGF) and global (UN-IGF) where I
served as Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) member from 2019-2021.


Best regards,


Juliana
