[rpd] Policy Proposal: PDP Working Group (WG) Guidelines and Procedures

[Gaby Giner]

Hi Mike,

Nice to e-meet you, and thank you for asking.

While studying at Ateneo de Davao University, I came across Internet
Governance, and I thought that it's a cool concept to explore. I have a
background in International Public Policy, International Security,
International Public Economy, and Public International Law, among others,
regarding policymaking and drafting. So I see the value in hearing out
others and crafting a well-rounded policy that does not trample on any
stakeholders and duty-bearers but leaves room for improvement.

Although I'm a woman in an admittedly male-dominated field, I still am very
keen to learn more about it. I'm also looking for job opportunities that
are network/Internet-related. I was actually supposed to go to
AFRINIC/ICANN but wasn't able to do so because of COVID-19. Hence, I'd like
to join the mailing list prior to joining the actual event next time.
Although I'm a beginner, I'd still want to contribute to a better Internet.
Despite my educational background, I know that praxis is an even better
teacher which is the reason why I am here talking to you.

That's by and large my background. As I'm a newbie, could you also briefly
introduce yourself? I've heard about you, vaguely, but I am interested in
knowing who the people I would potentially be discussing policies with.
Again, I am grateful that you have approached me - a newcomer with
questions. Hope that we can meet in person at the meeting someday.

Sincerely, Gabrielle.
