developments of the Internet. New gTLDs is of my interest along with ways
registrars and registries might change the way they run their business as a
result of the new stewardship model, role of different stakeholders in this
process, and how to bring more local voices into the processes. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#0000ff">I bring several years of experience related to
capacity building. I have designed capacity building programs, curriculums, teaching
and learning practices behind, delivery methods, measuring results, phase-out,
etc. I conducted cp programs with senior government officials, policy makers,
CSOs, etc on a broad range of issues including Internet Governance, Open
Government, Open Data, others. I have also provided several trainings on organizational development to different organizations in the country. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#0000ff"><br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#0000ff">P.S. back in 2007/8 i was the one to introduce OneDAY for ALAC (when I was an ALAC member), as I thought it was a way to improve the efficiency of ALAC itself (just giving it as an example related to organizational building) </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#0000ff">I do also bring specific experience related to policy
making, as I was part of both policy making processes as well as facilitated multistakeholder,
open data/open government data driven policy making on issues related to
E-Government/governance, Open Government, Gender Equality, Education, social accountability. </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" color="#0000ff"><br></font></span></p>

Dear Bastiaan,<br>
<br>
thank you both for agreeing to put your name forward for the ALAC seat<br>
selected by EURALO. The next step, we'll have a vote of all ALS<br>
representatives, but before this, I know that both of you have been open<br>
to questions and I would like to kick off the discussion with a question<br>
to both of you:<br>
<br>
Q1. what topics are you most interested in ICANN?<br>
Q2. As an ALAC representative, some focus more on capacity building and<br>
organisation building. Others focus more on policy. Which focus will you<br>
have: Capacity Building or Policy?<br>
Q3. If there was one thing that you'd like to achieve when sitting on<br>
the ALAC, what would it be?<br>
<br>
There is no right or wrong answer, it's just to get a better idea of<br>
your future focus.<br>
<br>
There will soon be a follow-up with a reminder of the calendar. I expect<br>
that we can conduct a single issue call where members can ask questions<br>
from both of you. This will be proposed shortly.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
