Statement of Interest – Fatima Cambronero
Fatima Cambronero CV - June 2013.pdf
August 2012 (Update June 2013)
My name is Fatima Cambronero and I live in Cordoba, Argentina. I am a Lawyer and Attorney by profession and currently working as an independent Lawyer focused on new technology issues related to consulting, administration, and litigation in Cordoba.
I am currently a Delegate to the General Assembly of LACRALO via the ALS AGEIA DENSI Argentina.
I serve as an Expert Moderator of the ISOC NGL eLearning Programme in the Spanish course.
I am a member of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a Civil Society representative.
I am involved with the academic and civil society stakeholders in the Internet Governance ecosystem.
I have no conflicts of interest and my work is not related to ICANN business.
I have no a direct financial or monetary interest in any company that does business in/with ICANN.
I discovered the world of Internet governance when I was studying my specialization in Law and Technology in 2008. From there I began to engage with the study of Internet Governance (IG) issues and to participate in LACRALO’s teleconferences. Since 2009 I am serving as a Delegate to LACRALO via the ALS AGEIA DENSI Argentina. I then took several training courses in IG issues and became a Fellow of the following organizations: SSIG, DiploFoundation, ICANN Fellowship Program, ISOC NGL, ITU Academy, LACIGF, and IGF.
The ALS I belong to is a LACRALO founder and since its inception our organization has been committed to capacity building in our community. We have given courses and organized events aimed to familiarize others with IG issues so they can engage and participate in the IG ecosystem. Our organization has also been committed to defending the rights of local Internet users and providing legal advice free of charge to local users in matters where their rights were violated.
2010 was the first time I personally attended an ICANN meeting as part of the Fellowship Program. I have been an ICANN Fellow four times. I have also participated remotely from late 2008 in all ICANN meetings, where I learned about the main IG issues from key stakeholders as well as ICANN's operations and its various constituencies. I've always focused more on the ALAC meetings, but I have also been a part of some At-Large Working Groups as well.
Given that an ALAC Member's main function is to advise, I believe that the best way to give advice is to be trained and informed. It is for this reason that we work with the ALAC Members of our region for the continuation of the capacity building program started in Costa Rica. The ICANN world is large and in the ALAC many issues are very quickly debated with very little time for discussion. As a result, the only way to achieve results, and to be sure that our region is active in these results, is for the region to work together and collaborate with a division of work. It is only in this way that we can grow as a region. I strive to maintain a good dialogue with LACRALO’s ALS delegates, both the Spanish and English speakers, as well as work with many members as a team. I offer to continue working in the same way and to listen to dialogue with all stakeholders in our region as the best way to overcome the obstacles we are going through is with dialogue and consensus building in our region.
Having been a beneficiary of several fellowship programs, especially of ICANN's with the investment of money and training they have provided, I consider the best way to thank and repay those efforts is to be able to serve as an ALAC member.
