All,It is my honor to nominate Stephanie Perrin for GNSO Representative for NCSG. As you already know, Stephanie has been working very hard to address the privacy issues in ICANN's various policies and particularly she was the lone privacy advocate to serve on ICANN's Expert Working Group on WHOIS, who drafted the dissenting opinion to draw attention to the privacy missives with ICANN's proposed plan. Stephanie was also instrumental in holding our privacy event in London with the European privacy commissioners and activists in June at ICANN #50. Stephanie brings a broad range of experience to her perspective from working as a privacy advocate to working with industry in canada and with government officials for many years to protect online privacy. When I was a staff attorney at EFF, Stephanie was awarded the EFF's "Pioneer Award" for her work to protect online privacy - a decade ago! More recently, NCSG has been well-served by Stephanie's efforts at ICANN EWG and also at NetMundial, representing civil society interests, and we would be lucky to have someone with her expertise and fortitude representing us on the GNSO Council as well.Thank you for considering this nomination of Stephanie Perrin to GNSO Council Representative for NCSG.Best,RobinOn Aug 10, 2014, at 4:21 PM, Poncelet Ileleji wrote:Hello All,I concur with the nominations of chair Rafik for second termOn 10 August 2014 21:44, Avri Doria <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
Hi,
Having spoken to David Cake and determined that he is interested in
running for a second term, I would like to nominate David Cake for the
GNSO Council.
Currently he not only represents NCSG interests, but is serving as one
of the Vice-chairs of the council. It believe it would be good to keep
him on for another term.
