face="Times New Roman">During the 2 ALAC outreach meetings I attended (Prague
and Athens last year) I have shared with both of them my interest in helping
getting internet end users - especially of developing countries - involved in
ICANN decision making processes, in strengthening civil society in Eastern
Europe and considering civil liberties in setting up IT-infrastructure,
promoting multilingualism and cultural diversity on the Internet and support
competition in Domain market. And there are several facts that can help me
accomplish all these: good reputation in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moldova</st1:place></st1:country-region> among
various stakeholders (International Community, Diplomatic Community, Ministry of
Education, National NGOs, LPA, etc.) as the NGO I run has been implementing a
series of social projects in Moldova; a 3 years of good collaboration with
DiploFoundation, Malta; and now, the most recent experience of the NGO I run
(“CMB” Training Center) is being member of the Global Knowledge Partnership –
since July 2006. In this context, I would just want to share an example of the
program I will coordinate starting with end of May: “Young Leaders for Community
Development through Internet Governance”, supported by GKP. <SPAN

candidates are much more qualified and have much more experience in the field
and I am sure that the final decision would be based on these important aspects.
