I appreciate how seriously you have taken your candidature and echo your views that BestBits morphing into a civil society advocacy platform for Internet governance issues would really add value. <br><br>I am very glad you are looking to serve on the Steering Committee. In your work on the NCUC's Executive Committee I have seen how well you understand that outreach, engagement, and mentorship are critical to maintaining a sustainable stream of volunteers, and have seen you (consistently) go the extra mile to make sure said volunteers are well-versed in relevant policy issues and able to effectively engage in the community’s work.<br><br>For those who have not had the pleasure of interacting with Renata before, she is a persistent advocate for widening and equalising the participation of non-commercial users and interests in broader Internet governance policy-making processes at the national, regional, and global level. She has been a mentor to ICANN fellows, a returning track lead for the Internet Freedom Festival, a member of the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council of the OECD, and sits on the IGF’s Multistakeholder Advisory Group.<br><br>I think we would be very fortunate to have her on the BestBits Steering Committee.<br><br>Best wishes,<br></div><div><br></div><div class="m_368049317688173696protonmail_signature_block"><div class="m_368049317688173696protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Ayden Férdeline<br></div><div><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" title="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" target="_blank">linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a><br></div></div><div class="m_368049317688173696protonmail_signature_block-proton m_368049317688173696protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="m_368049317688173696protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: [bestbits] SC Candidate SOI: A few ideas for Bestbits<br></div><div>Local Time: 23 August 2017 3:19 PM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 23 August 2017 14:19<br></div><div>From: <a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a><br></div><div>To: <a href="mailto:bestbits@lists.bestbits.net" target="_blank">bestbits@lists.bestbits.net</a>> < <<a href="mailto:bestbits@lists.bestbits.net" target="_blank">bestbits@lists.bestbits.net</a>><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hello<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jeremy, thanks for setting up the process of the new Bestbits SC<br></div><div><br></div><div>All our bios are on the link for voting members received<br></div><div><br></div><div>But I thought, as a statement of interest, I"d send a few ideas for<br></div><div>the Steering Committee"s actions in the future.<br></div><div><br></div><div>After reading the previous SC meeting minutes, it became clearer to me<br></div><div>the nature of Bestbits and the potential for some actions<br></div><div><br></div><div>* An advocacy platform for IG - there are so many groups and issues in<br></div><div>IG today, Bestbits can help visualize what these groups advocate and<br></div><div>be an important ally on moving issues forward. For that, a more<br></div><div>intense use of the statements space can be encouraged and liasons to<br></div><div>other groups can be very adequate for this<br></div><div><br></div><div>* Periodical meetings - Bestbits has done onsite meetings in annual<br></div><div>basis and occasional informal meetings. It is possible to extend this<br></div><div>activity with online strategy and discussion meetings as well as<br></div><div>repositioning the community as an actor in the calendar of internet<br></div><div>governance events where civil society can have a voice.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope these are good ideas to start with and certainly it would be<br></div><div>great to hear more and continue collaboration moving forward.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div><div><br></div><div>Renata Aquino Ribeiro<br></div><div>______________________________<wbr>______________________________<br></div><div>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:bestbits@lists.bestbits.net" target="_blank">bestbits@lists.bestbits.net</a>.<br></div><div>To unsubscribe or change your settings, visit:<br></div><div> <a href="http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/info/bestbits" target="_blank">http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/<wbr>info/bestbits</a><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><br>______________________________<wbr>______________________________<br>
