[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [GNSO-SG-C-Leadership] Call for Nominations for Universal Acceptance (UA) Expert WG | DEADLINE 13 June 2025 GNSO Universal Acceptance EWG EOIs

[Emmanuel Vitus]

Hi Rafik,

Having contributed to both phases of the IDNs EPDP for NCSG, I’d be glad to
represent us. My expertise is in Internet governance, with recent work on
Universal Acceptance and active engagement in underrepresented regions to
promote multilingualism.

I would appreciate being considered as one of the NCSG candidates for the
Expert Working Group.

Cheers.

Emmanuel
