In the GRC I?ve worked inter alia on the guidelines for: Council Practices, Travel Funding & Council Election Procedure. As chair of the Programme WG, before every ICANN meeting I?m in constant communication with the ccNSO Secretariat, the ccNSO Chair and the ICANN Schedule Planning team, striving to coordinate efforts in building the best schedule possible for the ccNSO community. During the meeting I keep track of the flow of the meeting and take notes on what can be improved for the next meeting. Furthermore I'm a member of the team in charge of reviewing the ccNSO Meeting Strategy and in ICANN 61 we will present preliminary results and seek for community input. As for my role in the council I keep in touch with my regional colleagues to keep them updated and to listen their points of view and represent them accordingly in the council activities. Additionally I'm part of the ICANN Onboarding Program as a Community Mentor, coaching the current ccNSO participants and overseeing the creation of materials/documents that introduces someone to the ccNSO community (i.e. "Quick Guide to the ccNSO", "ccNSO ICANN Learn course", among others). The members of this Program meet face-to-face at every ICANN meeting to exchange experiences and the progress of their work. Parallel to this program, I?ve been mentoring people from the fellowship program who have as main interest the activities of the ccNSO. On another note I tweet the ccNSO sessions during the ICANN meetings to help spread the work and activities of the ccNSO community.

The program combines lectures and practical exercises where the students are confronted with problematic digital practices like click bait, native advertising, algorithmic projections and filter bubble. We then analyse these practices together and develop effective ways of countering them. The program is relevant to high school students (15-18 yrs) and primary school students (9 - 11 yrs). Digital rights Digital rights and the popularisation of internet governance participation is becoming more and more important. We're focusing our efforts on popularising themes of net neutrality, media literacy and digital privacy and security and also helping the netizens to engage and participate in the decision making processes in these areas.

I also participate in the newly formed WT 5 on Geographic Names as a member of the ccNSO. I plan to attend all face-to-face meetings related to these working groups during ICANN61 and contribute with the discussions. I also plan to update the ccNSO about the different topics related to the work of these working groups as it has been done in past meetings. Even thought the meeting agenda for the ccNSO members meetings in ICANN61 has not been defined yet, I would like to participate as a panelist if there is a topic I can contribute to the discussion as I have done in most of I can meetings I have attended in person in the past. Overall, I also plan to pose questions and comments during our ccNSO members meetings and engage with other ccTLDs in finding ways to cooperate and work together to help our community grow and also to promote a more stable and resilient Internet. Additional relevant information: Due to the small size of the ccTLD I belong, our budget for traveling abroad is very limited. However, there is great value in participating in person to ICANN meetings due to the networking opportunities and the face-to-face meetings. Exchanges of ideas and relationships with other ccTLDs flow more freely and naturally when one is able to participate in person and not solely rely on remote participation.

As a small setup, I believe we can contribute with how to run and operate a small ccTLD, share experiences and best practices and of course recent developments in the .fo zone.

Additional relevant information: My name is Gu?run Poulsen and I?m the ccTLD Manager for .fo domains. My main responsibility is to assure that the ccTLD .fo is functioning for the end user.
