[cooperation-wg] Details about the nature of my self-nomination as wg co-chair

Dear group,

I have been following the discussion related to co-chairs nominees. In
order to let the group to know a bit more my profile and my commitement to
the wg, here I go with some extra explanations:

1. "*One chair should be relatively plugged in and active in the general
policy development process in the RIPE region (not only EU)*"

I am a South American academic but with a different profile from the
classic academics. Since I did start with ICT policy issues, I have been
very involved with CS and goverment, listening to their point of view so as
to perform a more comprehensive understanding of policy development
process. In general temrs, LatinAmericans always "watch and apply" policies
from the "North". In this sense, I am very excited to be part of policy
discussions, so as to understand and give my perspective from another point
of view.

2. *WG involves outreach and bringing others into the community*

In the same direction as pointed out above, definetively I would like to
involve more specilist to RIPE community since I do feel that there are are
still few understanding of RIPE's actions in many organizations from my
region.  I was one of them until the past months when I started silently to
follow the discussion. I feel that it is now my moment to act actively and
this does not mean to be the enemy of the done, conversly, it is adding a
new dynamic. For sure I will need time to learn and understand the key
points of the group, but all the challenges I had in life, this is a new
one.

3. *We should understand that there are a mix of qualities that can make
for effective co-chairs, especially in the Coop-WG*

I think I can offer a comprehensive point of view of the issues, contribute
to the understanding of the different backgrounds and situations. Moreover,
I do consider the research   as a unique opportunity to enhance her
research work across Latin America and to start an active network not only
in the region but collaborate worldwide.

 I do have strong experience in tasks related to assist in the design,
execution and analysis on different research project, write about different
themes of IT and IG, coordinate mutlistakeholder, attend and speak in
conferences related to governance and politics, being always updated with
the current mission of international agencies which work with technology
and teaching about IT from different points of view, including legal,
technical and social aspects, teach about internet issues, of course
including all the fields related to ICANN, IGF, ITU, and other
organizations, relationships between domain names and commercial law,
dispute resolutions, social developments among others and organize seminars
within my Research Center to promote and study IG issues
