Please, be it noted that, this is not based on sentiments or personal differences between my organization and Ms Fatimata Seye Sylla, but on the democratic and accountable structures upon which ICANN is structured. For the avoidance of doubt, Nurses Across the Borders was one of the organizations that supported the nomination of Ms Sylla to the 2014 NOMCOM. Since 2007, when AFRALO came into existence, all the leadership positions within it, AND AFRALO Representatives within other ICANN Structures have been rotated amongst the SAME SET of individuals and also follows the same process/pattern of selection just like the one being applied by Ms Sylla on June 3 and 4 2013. For the avoidance of doubts, I present below the list of officers of AFRALO and AFRALO Representatives from 2007 till date: AFRALO OFFICERS-currently 1. Chairperson: Fatimatta Seye Sylla-2009-2011, 2011-2013xxxx 2. Vice Chairperson: Tijani Ben Jemaa-2009-2011, 2011-2013xxxx 3. Secretariat: Aziz Hilali-2010-2012, 2012-2014 ALAC REPRESENTATIVES 1. Titi Akinsanmi-2011-2013-she was selected by Ms Sylla, even though she does not belong to any ALS within AFRALO 2. Yaovi Atohun-2011-2013, xxxx 3. Tijani Ben Jemaa-2010-2012, 2012-2014 xxxx-OCCUPYING TWO OFFICES WITHIN THE SAME PERIOD-Vice Chair AFRALO and ALAC Rep ALAC NOMCOM REPRESENTATIVE 1. Mohammed El Bashi-2013 & 2012, xxxx ALAC REPRESENTATIVES 1. Mohammed El Bashi: 2007-2011xxxx 2. Dave Kissoondayal: 2009-2011 3. Heava Dirkiate: 2010-2012 4. Fatimata Seye Sylla: 2007-2009xxxx ALAC DELEGATE TO THE NOMCOM 1. Yaovi Atohun: 2011 & 2010xxxx 2. Khaled Kouba: 2009 & 2008 3. Mohammed El Faith El Tigani: 2007-2006 4. Didier Kasole: 2003 We find very disturbing, lacking merit and devoid of any democratic tendecies the proposal by Ms Fatimata Sylla on the following grounds: 1. Aziz Hilali whom she is proposing for Chairman AFRALO is still Secretary to AFRALO till 2014. She is implying that, both positions be reserved for him, and if wins, he relinquishes his post as Sec, and if he losses he returns back as Sec to AFRALO to continue his tenure. If Aziz is interested in the position as he has done, he should be asked to resign from the position of Secretary AFRALO with immediate effect. 2. What is democratic in one person nominating 4 persons at once, and the person happens to be the Chairperson of the Group? 3. AFRALO Bye laws made it very clear that, the Chairman shall cast the decisiive vote, where there is a tie in any election, meaning, chairmen/chairperson are supposed to be seen as neutral even though they may have sympathy for a particular candidate, this should not be made known. But in this case, Ms Fatimata has openly expressed her partisanship by her selection. The outcome would be a bandwagon effect for those not wanting to be seen as 'disloyal' to want to support her choice. 4. With the secondment of Tijani Ben Jemaa, the plot is fait accompli. Both Mr Tijanin and Fatimata are leaders within AFRALO and one would expect them to help nurture successors in a more transparent manner. 5. AFRALO is being unwittingly turned into a cult of the preserve, where people like Fatimata, Tijani, Yaovi and Aziz now decides the faith of every other members within AFRALO. 6, Look at the representation from 2007, it has been between the quadruple. 7. Today, there are 26 confirmed At Large Structures withn AFRALO and, are we saying that, without these Foursome, AFRALO will die? Please, we do not deny the rights to vote or be voted for by the aforementioned individuals, but that, all our actions should be very transparent and accountable. If African politicians are known for nepotism, must it be reflected in ICANN? 8. AFRALO is not an independent body, but a structure within the larger ICANN, and such, we expect the leaders with ICANN to guide and guard against the abuse of power and position. If Ms Fatimata as Chairperson to AFRALO has any preference for candidates, it should not be done with careless abandon. She could do her silent campaign without trying to push her choice down our throats. If ICANN choose to ignore or pretend there is nothing wrong with the above practice, then, it will lose its credibility as an international organization of repute. 9. The same practice maybe observable in other RALOs, but we are concerned with AFRALO and perhaps, this maybe the right time ICANN begin to take more than a passing interest in what happens within its structures.

The NomCom is mandated to ensure that overall ICANN's leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills, experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees are people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can support decision-making within groups, can work effectively in English, have an understanding of ICANN's mission and operation, are committed to its success, experienced in world affairs, contribute to cultural, professional and geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers in the global public trust. Balancing Confidentiality with Transparency Discussing the 2013 Nominating Committee results, Yrjö Länsipuro, the Chair of the 2013 NomCom, shared the following: I am very happy to report that the 2013 NomCom reached a unanimous decision about the entire slate of selectees at our meeting in Durban, South Africa, immediately after the 47th ICANN meeting in that city. There were 110 candidates, a record number reached only once before (2003). This number reflects a growing interest for ICANN leadership positions, and also the strong outreach efforts by the 2013 NomCom. I want to thank all candidates and encourage those whom we could not select this time, to keep up their interest in ICANN. The 2013 NomCom was committed to striking a new balance between the imperative for confidentiality and protecting the privacy of the candidates, with the need to ensure that the NomCom processes are up to ICANN standards of openness and transparency. Accordingly, while maintaining strict confidentiality of candidate specific information, we held NomCom meetings in Beijing and Durban that were open to all community members, both in person and online. We also issued monthly progress report cards of our work to all constituencies and stakeholder groups represented on the committee. Last but not least, I want to thank all NomCom members, and ICANN staff supporting the NomCom, for their commitment to a year of very hard work and carrying it through with persistence, in a cooperative, constructive and collegial spirit. Regional Breakdown As noted above, the 2013 NomCom received 110 Statements of Interest from candidates all over the world (27 female and 83 male), during its open nomination period from 7 November 2012 to 15 May 2013. The regional breakdown of this year's candidates is: * 12 from Africa * 29 from Asia/Australia/Pacific * 33 from Europe * 18 from Latin America/Caribbean * 18 from North America For more information about the NomCom, please visit http://nomcom.icann.org/ *** The link to the announcement is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-02sep13-en.htm.
