| Biography | http://www.aso.icann.org/board/2004elections/nominees/beca-bio.html |
| Motivation for serving | Since 1999, I have served as a member of the ASO Address Council, appointed first by Arin and, after its recognition, by Lacnic. I have also served, since its constitution in 1999, at Lacnic’s Board. In particular, at these positions, I have been fully involved in the establishment of the NRO and, as well, in the current negotiation of a new ASO MOU. Hence, I believe that my election to the ICANN Board, appointed by the ASO AC, provides to the address community a full guarantee that its interests as a stakeholder will be properly represented. Notwithstanding, I am familiar too with all the other issues related to the Internet. In addition, I have a very large experience seating in the boards of large and medium size profit and non profit corporations, which certainly should be of a great help to the ICANN Board. Last but not least, I have a very large experience too dealing with multilateral governmental and non governmental organizations, which in the current international debate about the Internet governance should also be, in my opinion, extremely helpful. |

His academic and professional background, his enormous experience in dealing wi th national. multinational and governmental organizations, his capability and c ompetence have been of great worth for the unceasing and arduous job he has bee n developing in the organizations of the Internet community, with which he is d eeply involved.

I have known Raimundo Beca professionnaly for more
than 20 years. He was responsible for the French
electronic information policy at the Ministry of Industry. I
was working in the same field for the Ministry of
Research. During the eighties, I had the opportunity to
work with him on projects regarding the development of
French and European databanks. We represented France in several commitees of the European Commission including the Commitee for Scientific and Technical Information and the Commitee for Innovation and Technological Transfer. I believe that Raimundo has several essential qualities for the job : he always as been a devoted civil servant, he knows the meaning of Public Service and he as the indispensable vision, in a fast evolving field; long before the birth of the Internet Raimundo anticipated business and consumer usage of information technologies. Last but not least, Raimundo is a wonderful and loyal human being. I hope for ASO and Icann that he gets the job. |

Since he has been involved with ICANN proceeding s for quite some time now, I feel he is perfectly qualified to make a significant contribution as an ICANN board member. |
| Received from Adiel Akplogan | I fully support Raimundo Nomination. He is a very professional and committed person. Every time I had a chance to chat with him I'm impressed by his professionalism. He also acquired a broad view on Telecommunication and Internet Policies related issue from his International working experience. He can really play an important role seating on ICAN Board at this moment where there is a lot of discussion on ICANN internationalization. |

has been active in the field of information technologies and
information policy. He spent many years in France. From 1977 to 1989 , at the french Ministry of Industry of France, he was in charge of the Information Industry issues (Minitel, Hypertext, Smart Card CD-ROM, among others). He took an active part in preparation of the visionary Nora-Minc report on the Impact on Society of Information Technologies. Raimundo Beca has the knowledge and the experience and serving efficiently and wisely the Internet Community. |

| Received from Marcelo Bagnulo | As chair of the IPv6 working group of the LACNIC region I have worked with Raimundo in several ocasions. He is a very active person in the LACNIC region and he has a lot of experience and knowledge about addressing issues. In my humble opinion, Raimundo will provide the vision of the addressing community to the ICANN Board and he will provide a significant contribution, as he usually does. |
| Received from Roque Gagliano | As a young participant in ICANN meeting I had the chance to met Raimundo.
Since the beginning I was overwhelmed by his hard work and enthusiasm. He has successfully participate in several challenging positions, specially at ICANN, ASO and LACNIC. I strongly believe he is an excellent candidate for this position. |
| Received from Geoff Huston | Raimundo has had extensive experience within the addressing community,
and has been an active member of this com munity, particularly within
the Latin American region where he has been a member of the Board of
LACNIC. Raimundo is committed to the principles of responsible management of the Internet's number resources and has been an able exp onent of these principles in a wide set of fora. I believe that it is in the interests of the addressing community, and the interests of ICANN that we draw upon active, willi ng, qualified and committed members of the addressing community to serve as the ASO-nominated members of the ICANN Board of Directors. In my experience in working with Raimundo Beca over many years, I believe he would be an assset to the ICANN Board in bringing relevant experience from this community to matters relating to the governance of ICANN at the Board level, as we ll as being a diligent and committed Board member. |

| Received from MAEMURA Akinori | The APNIC Executive Council (EC) expresses its strong support for Raimundo Beca's appointment to the ICANN board. Raimundo is directly and actively involved in the Internet addressing communit y, and is therefore ideally positioned to understand and represent current pract ices and experiences from this specialised and dynamic field. Raimundo has shown his commitment to Internet development in general through h is long and continuing involvement in broader Internet matters including the DNS at generic and country levels, Internet organisational issues, and global developments such as ICANN and the WSIS. His broader and diverse involvement in UN matters, telecommunications carriers and general ICT areas would provide valuable assets to the ICANN board. We therefore ask the ASO AC to appoint Raimundo to this position on the ICANN Board. |
| Received from Bill Darte | I have observed Raimundo Beca in his dealings with ARIN since early on. I have witnessed his willingness to accept responsibility and his consiste nt dedication to the principles of open participation in address policy. His con tributions to the organization of LACNIC are important as is his experience with the ASO. Becoming a Board member of ICANN is a logical step in his involvment a nd I support his candidacy completely. |
