+  Saadia Azim would bring to the Directory a valuable combination of
+  public-policy experience, research on the digital divide and misinformation,
+  and hands-on leadership in inclusive digital public-service delivery. Her work
+  is rooted in the belief that open knowledge must mean more than making
+  information publicly available; it must also create accessible forums through
+  which knowledge can be shared, questioned, discussed and translated into
+  meaningful public action. Her experience would add a strong Global South
+  perspective and help connect open-knowledge principles with the everyday
+  realities of citizens and communities.
