[Npoc-discuss] Nomination of Judith Hellerstein for Policy Chair

[Judith Hellerstein]

Thanks so much to Glenn for nominating me for the Policy Chair. I am excited 
about this role and I accept it.

Caleb has been guiding me on all the policy issues, and I have been active on 
the NPOC Policy team for some time. One of my goals has been to get more people 
involved in Policy issues. Many of the policy issues are technical and for that 
reason many people shy away from it even after they have taken the policy 
writing course. Many people already are working on policy issues, except they do 
not realize they are writing policy. Whenever a person posts a public comment on 
a policy document, review of a program or working group, or any document they 
are writing policy. Besides the traditional policy issues so as the Transfer 
review policy, Domain policy, subsequent Procedures, or IPN, there is also 
operational policy. Some examples are the Strategic Plan, the Travel Policy, 
work on the multi-stakeholder policy and reviews such as the NomCom Review that 
is currently out.  These are all Operational Policy and are a very easy way for 
NPOCers to get involved and in drafting policy comments.   I hope to copy what 
was so successful in At Large these past few years and bring these innovations 
to NPOC. We should have monthly or bi-monthly policy calls for the community. We 
need to increase engagement in Policy areas and some of the best way of doing 
that is a renewed focus on Operational Policy and a careful picking of other 
Policy issues that are pertinent to the non-profit user such as the Transfer 
review policy.

As you can see I am passionate about ICANN policy issues and also in raising the 
profile of NPOC both with in the NCSG but also with in the GNSO and other 
areas.  To do that, we need more involvement of NPOC participants in policy 
issues.  If you vote for me as Policy Chair.  I hope to do just that.

I have gone through the ICANN Leadership Academy and also the ICANN 
Intercultural Awareness program. Moreover, I have gone through On conscious 
bias, Governance, leadership, chairing and other training these past two years 
as  NomCom representative and can bring this knowledge to NPOC.

Here is my GNSO SOI

for your review and I hope to have your vote for Policy Chair.  I look forward 
to hearing your comments and suggestions as we work to have an active and 
participatory NPOC

Best,

Judith
