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

Wed Apr 19 11:17:10 UTC 2023

Dear Ozan,

*Nomination : Harish Chowdhary*

I am excited to apply for the position of RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN
Nominating Committee, as I believe it offers me the perfect opportunity to
leverage my skills and experience towards the betterment of the internet
community. With a deep understanding of the issues pertaining to ICANN and
the broader internet governance ecosystem, I am confident that I can make a
valuable contribution as RSSAC Liaison.

My experience in outreach and recruitment, along with my ability to gather
and analyze information effectively, makes me well-suited for this role.
Having been associated with the ICANN ecosystem since 2014, I have been
actively involved in the internet governance policy formulation at GAC
(India). Additionally, as a UA Ambassador and RSSAC Caucus Member, I have
contributed to the Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel and actively engaged in open
internet protocols and standards, as demonstrated by my contributions to
the Internet Engineering Task force from IETF 94 to IETF 104.

I am particularly proud of my efforts to take the Universal Acceptance
issue to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in 2016 in the form of a
Workshop.

This experience, along with my current research work on policy and
technology, which can be found at  HARISH CHOWDHARY (0000-0003-1621-7231)
(orcid.org) <https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1621-7231> , has given me a deep
understanding of the challenges faced by the internet community.

As an RSSAC Liaison, I will act independently and in the larger public
interest. I am committed to adhering to the ICANN Code of Conduct and
maintaining the confidentiality required for the role. With my dedication
and experience, I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to
the Nominating Committee by reading the submitted and gathered information
about each candidate under consideration and participating in both
deliberations about individual candidates. I will work diligently with
NomCom colleagues toward an overall consensus on the best possible group of
candidates to be selected.

In conclusion, my experience and dedication make me an ideal candidate for
the position of RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee. Thank you
for considering my application.

Thank you for considering my application.

Thanks,

Harish chowdhary
