  Any additional information you would like to share?:
Post my first in-person meeting in Kobe, I connected with the ccNSO community 
and have been eager to learn and contribute back without hesitance despite 
being fairly new to this community. Some of my highlights in this journey is 
being given a platform to share insights and lessons as a ccTLD during ccNSO 
meetings and news sessions. I proceeded to be appointed to the AfTLD Board 
post my First ICANN meeting. I have no less intentions to continue playing my 
part towards a safer, inclusive, and one internet, and I sincerely hope the 
committee will consider my request to participate in person during this 
meeting! The .bw Manager - BOCRA has always prioritised ICANN meetings, 
however due to the unpredictable pandemic, has since cut down on travel 
budget!
