SV: [governance] self-nomination statement

[Kicki Nordström]

Dear all,

I fully support Sylvia Cara's nomination and hope she will be considered as the very important contributor to so many fields of concern, she has been working in. Sylvia has many interests and is well  known to us in the disability field.  

Warm regards
Kicki

Ämne: [governance] self-nomination statement

So far the Internet Governance Caucus group process and the Governance list discussions have been amicable - an appeals team member will only be needed when they aren't.

I've used listening and process skills when chairing the International Disability Caucus and several California boards, as well as when administering email lists.

I have some UN experience developed during five years of work with the AdHoc Committee which led to the December 2006 adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

I'm a full-time volunteer, have no financial interest, do have a strong bias towards transparency, level field, inclusion, access for all.  In particular, developing connections by using email changed my life from fringe outsider to articulate spokesperson.
			
I am the International Disability Alliance (ICT) Technical Expert, serve as a liaison between those disability interests and this work, read my email regularly.

I attended both WSIS meetings, the Athens IGF, voted for the charter, have been a subscriber to this list for a while, have plans to go to Rio.
