Since I came to the ICANN world, as a fellow, I have always received your support and cherish, which I may say in public. Also, I will like to take advantage of this space to inform the Community that, from the academic side, I have been developing some activities, which opportunity will be announced, so we can continue growing as a Community. Regards, Maritza Aguero, MSc.

Till now, in this nomination process, what I am seeing is a total lack of 
gender balance, then I will nominate myself to dispute the NOMCOM position. 
I believe we need a gender balance as well as sub regional balance situation in 
any election. 

About my experience: I am an electronic engineer, with specialization on 
management and certificate on board managing courses in US and Brazil. I have 
been quite a while in ICANN, as majority of you already know, but my experience 
goes also out of ICANN in board positions of Not for Profit organizations, as 
chair and member, participating in the selection process for CEOs and other 
Board members. For the other side, I have also been chair of NOMCOM back in 
2012, member as well, and recently, though not in any formal position, I was 
member appointed by ALAC to the NOMCOM review, now in the final report. 
Nowadays I have been work just in the CCWGs (ALAC review, Intercultural 
Awareness, Outreach and Engagement, Auction Proceeds, NOMCOM review and New 
gTLD Subsequent Procedures) &#43; LACRALO Governance working group together 
with other colleagues, though acting as a â??rapporteurâ?? just to facilitate 
the progress of this working group and in the Mediation group. 
I was member of LACRALO Strategy till last election now a place where Sergio 
Salinas is our representative. And guess you all also know, I am responsible 
for DNS Women, a not for profit organization nowadays with almost 400 members 
(not paid members). The DNS women events during ICANN meeting is sponsored each 
time for one company, though they pay just for food and drinks. It is up for 
our group to fight for such sponsorship and organize the event. ICANN doesnâ??t 
pay nothing for that, though several staff members as Tanzy, Tereza, Michelle, 
Gisela, Heidi and others always help in the organization. 
I will certainly state my Expression of Interests formally during the adequate 
period. 

I am also seeing other positions where there is just one candidate. This is not 
good for a democratic election. 
Unhappily I am seeing just Tracy from the Caribbean, as the one wanting to 
participate in this election. Hence, I will also nominate Tracy Hackshaw to 
ALAC position and to the Secretary Position - it will be for him to accept or 
not. 
I believe we need to have a member of Caribbean among LACRALO positions in 
order to start to run in a way closer to what we had agreed during the 
Mediation. Even if it is not implemented yet, the concept of rotation and sub 
regions is quite relevant. 

Considering also the lack of gender balance and I believe Maritza has been a 
very effective Secretary, then I would like to also nominate Maritza to ALAC 
position. Again, is for her to accept or not the nomination.

I hope we can have in all position at least 2 candidates to exercise a very 
democratic and competitive election.

Kisses to all
