America and the Caribbean.
Within
this role, Dans will be the primary media contact for journalists across the
region.
According to the Director of Global Media Affairs, Mr. Brad White, “Alexandra
knows the issues surrounding the Internet and she knows the Latin American
media,” Stressing that her background and
knowledge will make her a valuable asset for journalists who are covering ICANN
specifically or on the Internet generally.
Dans,
former Communications and Social Media Coordinator with the Latin American and
Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC), has a degree in Political
Science from the University of Montreal, a Master’s degree in International
Communications from the University of Quebec (Canada) and is fluent in Spanish,
French and English with basic knowledge of Portuguese. She will be based at the
ICANN Engagement Center in Montevideo, Uruguay in the “Casa de Internet” of
Latin America and the Caribbean.
“My
first priority is to assist media who may be interested in reporting on the
ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires in November and to generate interest among those
unfamiliar with ICANN,” said Dans. “This will be an important meeting not just
for ICANN but for the entire region and particularly for Latin American
journalists who cover the Internet.”
ICANN
is committed to adding communications representatives in each of its global
regions as it continues efforts to internationalize its operations.
