[APAC-Discuss] Follow-up: Nomination of Nadira AL Araj for APRALO Vice Chair

[Nadira Alaraj]

Dear All,

Greetings to all,

Since, there was no meeting to get to know APRALO LT candidates; I thought
of sharing with you as a contestant to Vice Chair role, what new I will
bring to APRALO Community.

Sharing with you here, my experience as Middle East Space Co-Chair, where
we regularly develop position statement on one of ICANN topics to present
it to ICANN board and ICANN concerning bodies for their consideration.  You
could find the different position statements developed from the region at
https://icannwiki.org/ICANN_ME_SPACE.  To those who are interested in the
issue of "Universal Acceptance & Email Address Internationalization using
Arabic Script” are invited to fill the doodle poll
<https://doodle.com/poll/p8aftau7rchrkehx>, so you can join the discussion
meeting on June 8th.

With the above idea in mind, I would like to capitalize on Justine Chew’
proposal for APRALO Policy Platform
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0Luo9HT6_bTKmUcXluSVgZIfPd-x3l1nTDDVnKdM2s/edit#heading=h.j2v98esj17cv>
so I can empower APRALO ALS members and unaffiliated individual members to
be engaged in ICANN policy comments using a similar approach to the Middle
East Space.

Ending by wishing a happy Eid Al Fitr to those observing it.

Wishing you all the safety and well-being with the new normal.

Best wishes,

Nadira

Dear All,
Dear At-Large Staff,
Following the acceptance of my nomination to the APRALO vice chair, I put
below my EOI, (it is also attached to the kind attention of At-Large staff)

*With appreciation, I accept my nomination for the APRALO vice chair role.
This nomination came at the right and ripe time of my At-Large journey,
particularly after taking ATLAS III capacity building program and being
alumni to its At-Large ambassadors. *

*My journey with APRALO started after my first ICANN 53 meeting as a fellow
when I asked to be the second representative of my ALAS ISOC Palestine
Chapter. Since then I attended almost every APRALO monthly meeting and did
convey the different APRALO/ICANN updates to my Chapter officers and its
members regularly. In the same year, I initiated the first ICANN outreach
booth at the locally famous ExpTech 2015 followed by workshops at local
universities. *

*I am an independent researcher, self-retired from the higher education
sector in my country. My time is balanced between occasional projects and
community volunteerism including ICANN. Therefore, whenever I volunteer, I
take my responsibilities very seriously and members of the tasks I
volunteer at would observe my added-value contributions. I rendered my
expertise to different APRALO ad-hoc working groups such as the APRALO 2019
hot topics, the APRALO History Project, and the study on APRALO ICANN
fellowship member's engagement.  My SOI
<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Nadira+Al-Araj+SOI> will
provide more about my active engagements.*

*However, I would like to highlight my experience as the elected
ALAC/APRALO community delegate to ICANN Nominating Committee for both
NomCom 2018 and 2019, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of ICANN
and how At-Large fit into ICANN multi-stakeholder structure. The trust that
I got from my NomCom colleagues reflected in the 360 Peer Reviews Aggregate
Results.*

*To fit into the APRALO leadership team, I worked towards having a good
understanding of the APAC community by getting a first-hand experience
through my participation in APSIG, and now I am the treasurer on its
Executive Committee.  Attending APTLD 70 as a speaker and the collocated
events of APTLD75 and the 6th ME DNS forum in Dubai as the ME DNS program
Committee member. Adding my attendance as a fellow and speaker the APrIGF
2019 where I volunteered in the working group for writing the well-known
forum synthesis document and the revisions of the different forum
guidelines.*

*In my acceptance to this nomination, I read the expected requirements and
responsibilities of APRALO Leaders team from the Rules of Procedure, and
with confidence; I can say I am qualified for this role.*
