have developed a respect and belief in, and passion
for ICANN, ever
since my participation in my first public ICANN
meeting. To witness
the multi-stakeholder process at work, with all its
shortcomings was,
and still is, a revelation for me. The Internet with
the DNS at its
root is a common good that we cannot take for granted.
We must
sustain, improve and protect it on a daily basis.
NPOC's role is
doing just this through representing the operational
concerns of the
not for profit Internet users. NPOC is fulfilling its
responsibility
through outreach, awareness and capacity building to
the many not for
profit Internet users and NPOC is doing this
successfully through its
ongoing partnership in the Pathfinder initiative. <br>
The ongoing
outreach efforts will result in increased NPOC
membership numbers</big></big></font><font

engagement and capacity building program for existing
and new NPOC
members. The first goal here has to be to ensure that
the NPOC
membership is able and sees it as relevant for
themselves to engaged
with the constituency. Now that NPOC has been
established and grown
out of infancy, we have to add as a goal to enable
those who have the
ability and the will to become new leaders within NPOC
in particular
and in the whole Internet ecosystem in general. This
means a conscious effort of the NPOC Executive
Committee to train and enable new
leaders in particular leaders that are coming from
developing regions
and those sectors that are usually under represented.

I am very much concerned about the observable and ever
increasing
disconnect between ICANN staff and the stakeholders
and even more the
disconnect between the different stakeholder groups
and even inside
them. The solution to this problem, in my opinion, is
more than about
fashioning clear and stricter rules; it is about
creating a new
atmosphere of trust and collaboration. I see it as my
task to help rebuilding trust. </big></big></font>
