I am stepping forward to be NARALO's delegate to NOMCOM. Several times this year it was remarked that very few woman candidates were interested in running for positions. I believe this is because a different recruiting strategy needs to be employed to enhance the gender diversity within ICANN. This starts by having more woman representatives on the Nominating Committee who can them help create successful recruiting strategies to attract more woman both to submit expressions of interest and also to entice more woman to take a role. I also hope to also speak for other forgotten minorities such as indigenous communities and those with disabilities or specific needs.  I have championed these rights when I was NARALO Secretariat and will with your support continue to do so if elected to the NomCom position.

After serving as Secretariat for NARALO for two years and helping refocus NARALO, revise its rules and procedures, and successfully grow my captioning pilot into being adopted by the ICANN IT and Board into the core budget of ICANN, I am looking forward to taking on a new challenges and new opportunities. I look forward to continuing to serve you in this capacity and also to help educate others about the importance of attracting diversity both in gender and in attention to forgotten communities within ICANN. I hope to have your support in this new role.
