Nomination for AFRALO Representative in Nomcom
by Mondher laabidi May 24, 2019

May 24, 2019

Dear colleagues, I am writing this email to nominate Ms. Ines Hfaiedh for AFRALO Representative in the Nominating Committee Nomcom. Ines is a member of AFRALO through ISOC Tunisia of which she is a Board member. Since embarking in AFRALO, Hfaiedh has attended all the Atlas III live webinars and has reached out to regional representatives for ways to become more involved in AFRALO work. To that end, Hfaiedh joined the ALAC Subcomittee on Outreach and Engagement. https://community.icann.org/m/mobile.action#page/31172466/header/ALACSubcom… Hfaiedh has served as Africa Representative in NCUC where she strived to bring African members to take part in NCUC Africa webinars and mailing list as well as selecting them for fellowships to attend ICANN meetings. With an NCUC Africa Representative term ending around the ICANN 65 meeting in June, her experience in the Executive Committee enabled her to learn better on consensus building and dynamics of collaboration which she would use if selected as Nomcom and seated around the AGM in November. It is worth-mentionning that Hfaiedh is a member of the Nomcom Review Implementation Working Group, a working group offering solid background on the workings, procedures and timelines of Nomcom. Hfaiedh is a teacher based in Tunisia. She was previously awarded the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship and taught at the Catholic University of America in Washington DC. She also trains teachers on ICT Implementation in Education and teaching learners with specific needs. Ines Hfaiedh speaks five languages among which Arabic, French and English which she speaks fluently. We hereby nominate her for AFRALO Representative in Nomcom and trust she will live up to the membership expectation. Mondher LAABIDI ISOC Tunisia
