Hi Everyone
As requested I would like to introduce myself to any ALSes who were unable to be part of the APRALO showcase in Beijing. I really enjoyed meeting with the APRALO team who attended ICANN 46, and I hope the Showcase and other APRALO sessions I attended gave you an idea of my commitment to my involvement in ICANN. I received my first ICANN Fellowship to attend Cartagena in 2010. When we were asked to choose an area which we might like to learn more about, I took myself to the closest session which was in the conference room next door to the Fellowship Lounge. I sat through a session where there was a change of Chairmanship and a discussion which included so many acronyms that conversations sounded like a foreign language for which there was no translation service. This was my introduction to the ALAC, and the session provided a whole host of questions for our next Fellowship gathering. In my report following the Cartagena meeting, I recorded the questions that I asked myself before, during and after that event (and which I still ask myself sometimes)..
So, why do I now want to stand for the ALAC? My role in PICISOC (Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society) and CIIAG (the Cook Islands Internet Action Group) has been initially as a facilitator - engaging people with ICANN and focusing on "How can we improve the voice of the Pacific in ICANN?". On the ALAC I see this more as "How can we improve the voice of all ALSes?" I would like to be a part of that team that interested me enough to want to learn more about ICANN, and to be able to personally contribute my own efforts to the work of the ALAC within the ICANN organisation.
Although ICANN and PICISOC and their activities take up a lot of my "spare" time, I also have a day job and other local NGO roles.
