[Npoc-discuss] Nomination for Communications Chair Role

[Adisa Bolutife]

Dear Community members,


It is with great honor that I accept the nomination for the position of  Communications Chair. I'm humbled and see this as a call to service for a community we all believe in within the ICANN Org.


Kindly find my candidate’s response  to my nomination below:




Name:  Adisa Bolutife.


Affiliation:  Digital Grassroots


Position applied for:  Communications Committee Chair


Why you are running for the position?:


NPOC's work within the ICANN community holds an important role in having a very strong communication mechanism within which other stakeholders within the community relate to the work and interest of Not-for-Profit, Civil Society and Academics within the constituency. It is therefore very pertinent to connect with these other stakeholders and varied interests within the community to understand the work that NPOC does with the view of serving as a more vocal voice of reasoning and logic during engagements with other stakeholder groups. 


I strongly believe in working with the leadership of the NPOC and all members' interests represented while building a bottom-up approach consensus to DNS Policy and realizing the ICANN's multistakeholder PDP actionable outcomes.


I do hope to bring in a diverse and proactive approach to service in the role I'm putting myself forward for. 


I am also active within regional affiliations such as ISOC, AFRALO and the Internet Governance Forum, both nationally, regionally and globally. I also work as Program Manager for my local NRI.


My participation in different fora within the internet space has seen my continued contribution on internet governance policy issues ranging from data governance, Copyright and Intellectual Property,  Cyber Security, sustainable access, digital rights, media literacy, and development & capacity and other internet related issues which I believe is consistent with some of the concerns the NPOC has within the DNS industry.


In my professional experience from being an IT Engineer, Program Manager, Non-profit leader and technology trainer, I believe it puts me in a position to be of immense value to the Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC) in bringing my industry experience to bear from a technical perspective to serve in the role of communication's chair.


I look forward to serving the NPOC community in this role. 




Do you have any conflict(s) of interest?:
No



How many Hours a week you are able to dedicate to the position: 6+ hours


Are you involved in any working Groups or PDP efforts, if so please state: No


 
Thank you for your consideration, support.


Best regards,
Adisa Bolutife.

Co-founder,

Digital Grassroots.
