[RSSAC Caucus] Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee

[Dessalegn Yehuala]

Dear Ozan,
Below is my statement of interest for the RSSAC liaison to NomCom role.

I am a DNS, BGP, Security and Data enthusiast. I have been involved in the
ICANN space for a considerable period of time. Currently, I am a member of
the RSSAC caucus, Universal Acceptance Technology and Measurement working
groups. Over the years, I have had ICANN communities engagement of various
kind- from leading a script generation panel to produce label generation
rules for a script for the root zone, to playing a role in a team tasked on
the development of recommendations on the technical utilization of label
generation rules for the root zone, and contributing in efforts geared
towards remediation of software platforms to Universal Acceptance.

I have been a member of the NomComRIWG working group since 2018. I am keen
to volunteer as the liaison to the NomCom representing RSSAC.
I have read the NomCom delegates 2024 job description and I believe that I
fulfill all eligibility and essential requirements associated with the
role.

Kind regards,
Dessalegn
