Dear all, Please find my statement of interest below. Hope the length does not stop you from connecting and contributing. Feel free to reach out, should you have any questions! About me I hold both a French and a Brazilian nationality and am currently pursuing my Masters on Media and Communications (Data and Society) at the London School of Economics and Political Science and working as a researcher on cybersecurity and digital rights at the Igarapé Institute (a think and do tank focused on security, justice and development). My personal experience is concentrated on the blurry intersection between civil society and academic work — where I have been exposed to constant policy-oriented interactions across different stakeholder groups. Throughout these past few years, I have had the opportunity of engaging in multiple Internet governance-related spaces, such as the national, regional and international IGFs as well as working and taking part in capacity building initiatives for youth engagement at the national and regional level. Also, my experience as a researcher includes consultancy for UNESCO’s project on multistakeholderism, two years at the Center for Technology and Society at FGV (CTS-FGV) working on Internet governance, security and privacy issues, participation at the BRICS Youth Forum (2017) and approximately three years at the Center for Strategic and Political Studies at the Naval War College in Brazil. Also, I have participated in Internet governance schools in the US, Brazil, and Argentina. NCUC I first joined NCUC through my previous organization and have shifted to individual participation for a year now. It took me some days to think about accepting the nomination and, although it becomes quite evident that the Brazilian part of my identity is translated into my experience, I do believe that benefits bridge-building instead of silos within the collective work of the EC. However, this does not come detached from the fact that I am, and have been interacting, living and working in highly internationalized environments for quite some time, especially in the EU and US. As previously noted, confluence is essential in coordinating a balanced, ”hands-on” and region-sensitive EC. Since February, I have had the amazing opportunity to learn and work alongside Kathy Kleiman and Ayden Férdeline on the Community Onboarding Program as well as participating both at ICANN58 and ICANN59. For those who are not yet acquainted, the Onboarding program involves groups from almost all constituencies and seeks to work on mentorship and effective engagement of newcomers. Throughout this process we elaborated a series of documents to be weekly distributed to all newcomers in the course of seven weeks to give a “bird's eye view” — what can also be called ICANN in "bite-sized pieces" of what we do and how people can get involved — which, gladly, is up and running after working closely with feedback from the EC and with the support of the NCUC Chair. This leads me directly to the main concerns and proposals. Main Concerns and Proposals Europe My primary role, should you entrust me with the position of EC in Europe, would be to constantly reach out to civil society groups in the region (not only for outreach, but mainly to touch base and maintain a steady relationship by informing them what we have been doing in NCUC vis à vis civil society organizations in IG-related spaces; i.e.: EuroDig). Also, I would work to send notifications about opportunities, conferences as well as inform and support CROP funding applications from the region. Continuity The NCUC Chair, along with the EC has done excellent work in laying fundamental grounds for the next steps in NCUC's governance structure. The previous EC embraced big tasks by focusing on outreach, governance, transparency, and accountability — particular attention should be paid to the comments and inputs from ICANN staff on NCUC’s bylaw review, as well as the establishment of NCUC Procedural Rules. As potential EC for Europe, I believe the next goal would be to work together on the implementation of the procedures and guarantee close communication throughout this process. The “inreach" side of the outreach NCUC’s membership is thriving! We have been organizing a series of outreach activities in different regions and stimulating the construction of diversity within non-commercial interests. However, with outreach comes the question of inreach: (i) how to get people to stay and (ii) how to become an active member and get involved in policy practices. My experience as part of the Onboarding program and the mentorship process has positively caught my attention to this particular issue. As part of the EC I look forward to working on mechanisms for us to structure points of reference and build a network that can effectively connect newcomer’s interests with what we have been doing (be it in a more admin side or policy development). While the Onboarding seeks to translate these processes, we need to have an EC that can liaise and bridge. With that in mind, I have developed a newcomer’s guide specifically for the Rights Protection Mechanisms working group, so that people who are interested can identify potential points of entrance to the debate.
