Dear Ma/Sir,

Below is my motivation Statement

As a recent addition to the NCSG community, I wish to apply for the 
above which will allow me to contribute more directly. The chance to be 
sponsored for the vacant slot at ICANN80 would allow me to put my skills 
and enthusiasm to work, representing the NCSG and furthering our goals.

My journey began with a keen interest in internet governance, leading me 
to become an ICANN79 Fellow and the Paul Muchene Award winner. This 
recognition fueled my desire to get involved and I have been attending 
some of the NCSG engagements. Few amongst them are the following:

Transfer Policy Review Preliminary Recommendations (April 4, 2024)

SubPro IRT Working Group: Applicant Freedom of Expression (July 26, 2023)

I have also been present at key meetings, including but not limited to:

NCUC ICANN79 readout (March 20, 2024)

Africa Domain Name Industry Study Draft Final Report Public Comment 
Period (January 23, 2024) (I can provide screenshots as evidence of my 
participation.)

   I plan to be a strong voice for the NCSG at ICANN80, ensuring full 
participation in all relevant meetings. As the ISOC Chapter President in 
Nigeria and coordinator of the Nigerian School on IG, I possess the 
skills to effectively lead discussions, moderate sessions, and even act 
as a rapporteur if needed.

   During ICANN79Fellowship, I attended PDPs and NCSG Policy Committee 
meetings, constantly learning and expanding my knowledge base. My 
dedication extends to ongoing revision of internal governance documents 
and PDPs, and I actively participated in the African Engagement on IG 
today (April 11, 2024).

Attending ICANN80 in its entirety is a priority. I'll be there every 
day, actively involved in NCSG meetings, constituency meetings, GNSO 
Council meetings, and relevant PDP sessions.

This sponsorship opportunity is not just about attending a meeting; it 
is about bringing a new member's fresh perspective and unwavering 
commitment to the table. I am confident that my skills and dedication 
will make me a valuable asset to the NCSG at ICANN80.

Thank you.
