[ICANN-EU] NomCom's criteria: How I stand?

["Constantine S. Chassapis" <cschassapis@acm.org>]

Hi all,

I read in http://www.icann.org/nomcom/, the following:

The Nominating Committee identified the following key
factors to consider in making its nominations:

1.  Reputation for integrity and hard work.
2.  Ability to exercise independent judgment;
    willingness to disclose obligations and
    potential conflicts of interest.
3.  Professional/volunteer roles and accomplishments.
4.  Understanding of the Internet's architecture and
     history.
5.  Experience with the Internet's architecture.
6.  Specific experience with the domain name and IP
    address systems.
7.  Experience in international and/or multicultural
    environments.
8.  Educational background.
9.  The extent to which the individual would bring
    relevant skills or experience that are otherwise
    absent from the ICANN Board.
10. Commitment: available time, energy, and interest.
11. Indications that the individual will find broad
    support in the At Large Membership.

These criteria were not meant to be decisive;
they were, however, key factors to be weighed.

Then, I asked myself where I stand in respect to
these factors?

1. I can find friends, profs, or former employers that
   will certify that, but of course I cannot see how I
   can prove it via email.

2. Same as answer 1.

3. Same as 1. (If scholarships are professional accompishments
    I have been honoured twice. If membership in scientific, or
    technical associations is a measure of professional role, then
    I am member of ACM, IEEE, HWG, IWA, ICANN@Large).

4. Well, I understand things. As a matter of fact in
   my site, in http://users.otenet.gr/~kchas/internet.htm
   I present an introductory tutorial written in Greek.

5. Sysadmin (both on small win lans, but I have experience on
   AIX machines hooked on the NCSR demokritos net). Site
   admin. Awarded Web master and designer. Same as 1.

6. I own the http://amorphousart.gr domain and the amorphous.art
   at name-space.com's xs2.net support (i.e.
   http://amorphous.art.xs2.net also leads to my site).

7. I know very well the cultural environments of Greece,
   France and Sweden. I am also well educated in the
   English language and culture. That gives adequate
   experience I presume.

8. Defending my PhD this October. Physics Graduate.
   Certified computer professional. Experienced in
   analysing and programming solutions for complicated
   scientific problems. In my site in
   http://users.otenet.gr/~kchas/acc1.htm I offer, in english,
   an advanced scientific computing course.

9. Well, since I don’t know the skill or experience of
   the members of the board I cannot say much. Just that
   I am both a person of the Arts and the Sciences.

10. On that you have to trust me. I know I have a lot
    of energy, enthusiasm and interest. I am young, I don't
    have a child yet.

11. I got two votes that I am very proud of! If  I only
    knew that they are not from Greece, then, together
    with my self-endorsement (the third vote), I would
    have assured one of the two ICANN criteria.
    Impressive, no!? :-)   (the next step I will be really
                                     proud of will be the fifth vote!
                                     you know, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...)

I welcome all my fellow co-candidates to provide brief
answers to these 11 criteria as I did, so to provide new-
comers to this list (you know, people that are returning
from their vacations, etc.) with another starting point
to find their way through our labyrinth of messages.

Sincerely,
Constantine Chassapis
