Hi Rafik,

please find my application for NCSG endorsement,

Thanks,


*APPLICATION: GNSO LIAISON TO THE GAC*

*Name*

 Pascal BEKONO

*Affiliation*

 NCUC/NSCG

*Please provide an overview of your experience/expertise with GNSO policy
development processes*

After attending many ICANN meetings and participating in various
discussions and webinars, I can consider myself and my application to this
position as a new spirit for the position of GNSO liaison to the GAC.
Since 2012, when I attended my first ICANN meeting in Costa Rica, I have
never served in a leadership position within ICANN, but so far I have
participated and contributed in various discussions and processes.  It’s an
important responsibility to serve in that position and I will do the best I
can.

Meanwhile, as a participant to the Working Group GNSO Review, I had the
opportunity to understand and follow the GNSO PDP, and being part of the
reviewers. That experience offers me a good knowledge of GNSO process and
abilities to mediate, liaise, and interact with other parties about the
GNSO processes.

As a matter of fact, I will have the opportunity to learn and I am actually
ready for that. In addition to the above,

-I will have to strength and reinforce the dialogue with GNSO stakeholders
group and counselors;

-I will report GAC’s inputs to the GNSO and follow the implementation;

-I will have to present (to report) in a good and concrete way, GNSO work
to the GAC

-The contribution of GNSO veterans will be an added value to me toward my
learning process and the desire of participation.

*Please provide an overview of your Previous engagements in GNSO work in a
leadership capacity*

 My engagement in GNSO work rely to my participation NCSG, NCUC activities
and working groups



GNSO Review Working Group, allows me to understand the charter and analyse
implementation of recommendations. This WG is very important and covers the
GNSO core activities.

new gtld subsequent Working Group, enable me to contribute and understand
the

participation to the NCUC discussions and outreach activities

*Please describe your familiarity with GAC processes, including GAC
engagement in GNSO policy development*

 The Government Advisory Committee is a formal body, made of government
representatives, provides advice to ICANN on public policy aspects of
ICANN’s responsibilities. There is joint effort between the GAC and the
gNSO to investigate ways of engaging the GAC in GNSO policy development
activities. These meetings came out with recommendations.

If I am selected to the position of GNSO liaison to the GAC, I will start
by:

analysing ongoing activities between GAC and GNSO (with the support of the
GNSO secretariat);

follow up current implementations

providing a report to the GNSO council, and the secretariat

*Please provide any other information that demonstrates your qualifications
for this position.*

I am a computer engineer, ICANN fellow, EuroSSIG Fellow, Commonwealth IGF
fellow, Carnegie Mellon University fellow, ISOC tutor training.

I have worked as Consultant with the German Cooperation in Cameroon and
with TakingITGlobal Organisation, a youth led organisation based in Canada.
I am actually working as Computer Engineer in the Ministry of Justice. My
background offers me the ability to interact with various actors.

I am ready and able to commit time, energy and resources to be effective in
supporting the work GNSO liaison to the GAC.

I believe that many people can testify that I can make things happen. I
have followed ICANN activities, I realize the level of commitment that this
volunteering position requires. I don’t have a conflict of interest with
this position.
