>> NPOC is one of the newest constituencies within ICANN, as well as within

>> individuals, including myself, have been diligently working on this task

>> establishing trust and being supportive of others in order to help them
>> achieve their goals. ICANN has provided an invaluable platform for learning
>> and engaging in discussions that shape the future of the Internet. I aspire

>> Not-for-profits within the ICANN Ecosystem.
>>
>> I also want to enhance NPOC's representation within the various existing
>> Working Groups in order to ensure continuous feedback on Policy Development

>> fostering collaboration and unity among its members.
