<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br>
<br>
I want to nominate myself for the role of RSSAC Liaison for the Nominating Committee (NomCom) for the upcoming year. My journey with RSSAC started in 2015 when I joined the Community Onboard Pilot Program under the Mentorship of Lars-Johan Liman. Since then,
I have been affiliated with RSSAC Caucus and have already served as Fellowship Program Mentor for RSSAC for the years 2019-2021. I have been associated with ICANN in different capacities and with SO/AC in the last 10 years, which provides me with a diverse
knowledge and experience of ICANN community mode of work and mandate across different communities. I have previously served as ICANN Fellowship Lead, ICANN Fellowship Coach, ICANN Fellowship Program Mentor, member of 2nd Security, Stability, and Resilience
Review Team (SSR2-RT), member of GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) member, and ALAC member selected by the Nominating Committee, to describe a few. By profession, I am a Professor of Computer Engineering with Research Interest in the Protocols, Naming,
and Addressing, along with Network Architectures. I believe that my diverse professional and ICANN community experience makes me a good fit to serve on the Nominating Committee. <o:p></o:p></p>
