>Hi everyone,

>I am please to nominate for the open Council
>seats two outstanding civil society
>scholar/activists, Joy Liddicoat and Wolfgang
>Kleinwachter.
>
>Joy is the Project Co-ordinator for Internet
>Rights are Human Rights for the Association for
>Progressive Communication, a NCUC organizational
>member. Joy is lawyer who's been a long-time
>activist on human rights on the Internet and
>beyond, and she's also involved in DNS issues
>and well attuned to the ICANNsphere. At present
>she also serves Director of the Domain Name
>Commission, InternetNZ, the non-profit
>multistakeholder body responsible for managing
>.nz and related Internet issues in New Zealand,
>so she brings to the table an understanding of
>public interest aspects of the ccTLD space as
>well. A strong human rights orientation has
>generally been lacking in ICANN and the GNSO, so
>she'd be filling an important gap. At the same
>time, it would be good to further engage in NCSG
>the APC, which as probably everyone knows is the
>probably the largest NGO, a multinational
>network, doing civil society activism around
>Internet and ICT issues. More about Joy
>here <http://nz.linkedin.com/pub/joy-liddicoat/11/233/745>http://nz.linkedin.com/pub/joy-liddicoat/11/233/745 and

>Wolfgang is probably known to most members, as
>he's an individual NCUC member who's attended I
>believe all but one or two ICANN meetings since
>its founding and has served most recently as the
>chair of Nomcom. He's a leading scholar on
>global Internet governance and ICANN who's been
>very involved with not only ICANN but the civil
>society coalitions involved in the WSIS and IGF.
> He is a professor at the University of Aarhus,
>the organizer of the annual ICANN Studienkreis
>conference, the organizer of the European Summer
>School on Internet Governance, a founder along
>with Milton myself and others of the Global
>Internet Governance Academic Networks, and so
>on. Like Joy, he has the background and
>disposition to be a great Councilor for the
>NCSG. More about Wolfgang
