Dear Tapani and PC,


Please find below my expression of interest.


As an activist, always ready to help and participate in fostering integrity
and promoting good governance, maintaining public confidence in
organisations. Ensuring transparent transactions for a clean business
environment in the non-profit organization?s long-term survival which
depends to some degree on its capacity to sustain relationships with core
constituencies, such as private donors, members, community volunteers, and
other community organizations, thereby creating a network of social trust
around the organization.


These social networks are essential for mobilizing collective action and
addressing social problems; serving as conduits for free expression and
social change.

I have been involved in the IT Industry for over 10 years in areas
including ICT Policy development, Internet Governance, Open Source Software
Technologies, Data Management and technologies and, accounting, Human
Resource Planning and Development.


During my service as a financial officer in an International NGO, I do
clearly understand the laws governing non-profit accounting and
administration; effective reporting and communication to the constituency
that appoints me is a compulsory task to enhance collective bargain.
Likewise, I shall bring to bear the business skills and experiences while
serving an Israeli electro- mechanical company as logistics and community
relation manager.


My attendance at the first ICANN policy meeting held in Helsinki was my
first physical meeting and I did participate very effectively during the
CCWG meeting and NCSG outreach and did learn from mentors. Although, I have
being hosting remote hubs for ICANN meeting and participating in many
working groups in the last few years with a strong background in
environment governance and international development.


I do clearly, understand the Internet communities ICANN serve and the
politics that surrounds its operations. We can learn more from each other
when information is open. A free exchange of ideas is critical to creating
an environment where people are allowed to learn and use existing
information toward creating new ideas.


When we are free to collaborate, we create. We can solve problems that no
one person may be able to solve on their own. Rapid prototypes can lead to
rapid failures, but that leads to better solutions found faster. When
you're free to experiment, you can look at problems in new ways and look
for answers in new places. You can then learn by doing.


This shall be my first time to serve NCSG if granted an opportunity, it
shall be very critical for me to harness the wisdom of the NCSG movement
and the collective power of all stakeholders to achieve major impact in
this new role as I delegate my time and efforts to serve.


Thank you and warm regards.
