Nominee statement
It’s my honor and I am very pleased to be nominated for the NRO NC. As you may know, ASO and the NRO are two separate bodies, while they are closely linked, they each have distinct responsibilities. The NRO NC serves as ASO AC within the ICANN structure. It is very important to bridge the relationship between RIRs and ICANN. As I have contributed for all these above affairs and works, I believe my experiences and commitments are suitable and meaningful for the current responsibility for NRO NC.
My sincere appreciation for your fully support in advance!
