by Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong May 18, 2019

May 18, 2019

Dear friends and colleagues of AFRALO, I would like to nominate Aziz Hilali to the AFRALO Vice-Chair position. Aziz has always been very active in AFRALO family. He has led many actions that have greatly contributed to the improvement of our Organization. He led the organization of ICANN55 in Marrakech, which was a great success and a record of almost 1,000 African participants. He is again the organizer of the next ICANN65 of June 2019. Due to his leadership, experience and expertise, I am convinced that he will be a good assest for AFRALO.

Aziz HILALI Nominee Statement to AFRALO Vice-Chair
by aziz hilali May 18, 2019

May 18, 2019

[English Bellow] —————————— Chers collègues et amis, J'ai rejoint le leadership d'AFRALO en 2010 et depuis lors, mon engagement au sein de la communauté a été sans relâche et a été démontré à travers de nombreuses actions que j'ai menées et dirigées au cours de toutes ces années. AFRALO est aujourd’hui l’un des RALO les plus actifs au sein d’ALAC. J’ai en effet contribué à toutes les actions de sensibilisation et d’engagement en organisant plusieurs webinaires et des formations (sur site et virtuel). J’ai également été l’un des principaux organisateurs des différentes Assemblées Générales (Dakar, Londres, Johannesburg), où nous avons réussi à réunir toutes les ALS. Les objectifs de ces actions sont non seulement de sensibiliser nos ALS au processus de développement de l’ICANN, mais aussi de les impliquer davantage sur les questions traitées par l’ICANN afin d’accroître l'efficacité de la participation de l'Afrique à travers les utilisateurs finaux. Durant mon mandat de président d’AFRALO, grâce à l’effort de tous, nous avons réussi à augmenter considérablement le nombre d’ALS. AFRALO représente aujourd’hui plus que 50 membres représentant plus que 30 pays du continent. Ces ALS œuvrent toutes pour le développement Humain à travers les TICs au niveau local. Elles représentent une diversité culturelle et ethnique et linguistique importante qui fait la force de notre RALO, puisqu’elles offrent aujourd’hui une voie pour l’utilisateur d'Internet individuel. J'ai servi la communauté en participant à plusieurs initiatives qui sont devenues par la suite des activités permanentes dans l'ensemble d’At-Large notamment : La réunion conjointe AFRALO-AfrICANN dédiée à l’ensemble de la communauté africaine de l’ICANN, que nous organisons à l’occasion de chaque réunion ICANN. Cette tradition qui ne s’est pas arrêtée depuis, aborde à chaque occasion un sujet brûlant en discussion à l’ICANN et tente de trouver une position commune de la communauté africaine pour la transmettre au conseil d’administration de l’ICANN et aux parties concernées. A travers cet espace, notre communauté a été la seule à exprimer son opinion sur toutes les étapes de la transition de la supervision de l'IANA, de tous les rapports sur la transition de la supervision du CWG et sur la responsabilité du CCWG. Engagement de la communauté locale à chaque fois que la réunion de l'ICANN a lieu en Afrique (étudiants, organisations de la société civile, enseignants, etc.). Voir : https://atlarge.icann.org/en/news/announcement-665-2016-03-25-en) <https://atlarge.icann.org/en/news/announcement-665-2016-03-25-en)> https://atlarge.icann.org/afralo/afralo-activities-at-icann59-en <https://atlarge.icann.org/afralo/afralo-activities-at-icann59-en> Mise en place d’un nouveau Mémorandum de coopération et d'entente entre AFRALO et AFRINIC. L’organisation de l’exhibition d’AFRALO chaque fois qu’il s’agit d’une réunion ICANN sur une terre Africaine. Je suis fier que cette exhibition soit devenue par la suite une tradition au sein de l’ALAC. Je suis également fier que ce soit mon ALS qui a abrité ICANN55 sur le sol africain que j'ai eu le plaisir de diriger avec succès. Mon ALS est à nouveau cette année l'hôte local de la prochaine réunion de l’ICANN qui aura lieu du 24 au 27 juin 2019 à Marrakech. Ma fierté serait encore plus grande lorsque d’autres ALS Africaines pourraient organiser dans leur pays des réunions africaines dans leurs pays à l’avenir. Pour l’ICANN55 et l’ICANN65, j’ai beaucoup travaillé avec les autorités de mon pays pour atteindre une participation africaine importante. Il convient de noter que la réunion ICANN55 de Marrakech de 2016 a battu le record de participation africaine en atteignant les 960 Participants du continent. Mes sincères remerciements vont à ceux qui ont proposé ma candidature au poste de vice-président d’AFRALO et à ceux ou celles qui l’ont soutenu. Je m'engage à partager mon expérience et mes compétences pour aider notre jeune président, à étendre cette évolution pour que notre RALO continue à évoluer et défendre l’utilisateur final de notre continent. Veuillez trouver ci dessous un résumé de ma biographie : Aziz Hilali est Professeur à l'Institut National des Télécommunications (www.inpt.ac.ma <http://www.inpt.ac.ma/>) au Maroc.

[English] —————— Dear Colleagues and friends, I joined AFRALO's leadership in 2010, and since then, my commitment has been demonstrated trough multiple actions that I have made and led during all these years. AFRALO today is one of the most active RALOs in ALAC. I have indeed contributed to all outreach and engagement actions by organizing several webinars and training (on-site and virtual). I was also one of the main organizers of the various General Assemblies (Dakar, London, Johannesburg), where We've been able to bring together all ALSs. The objectives of these actions were not only to sensitize our ALSs to the ICANN Policy development process, but also to involve them more in issues addressed by ICANN in order to increase the effectiveness of the Africa's participation through its end users. During my term as AFRALO Chair, thanks to the effort of all, we have succeeded to have a significant increase in the number of ALS. AFRALO today represents more than 50 members representing more than 30 countries of our continent. These ALSs are all working for Human development through ICTs locally. They represent an important cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity that is the strength of our RALO, as they now offer the possibility for individual Internet end user to join. I served the community by participating in several initiatives that later became standing activities throughout At-Large especially: The joint AFRALO-AfrICANN meeting gathering the whole African community of ICANN, organized at each ICANN meeting. It addresses a hot topic under discussion in ICANN and tries to find a common position of the African community to be transmitted to the ICANN Board and to the concerned parties (Working Group addressing the topic, etc.). Through this space, AFRALO has been the only regional group expressing its opinion on all the steps of the IANA Stewardship Transition. (All the CWG Stewardship Transition and CCWG Accountability Reports). Local community engagement whenever the ICANN meeting is held in Africa (students, civil society organizations, NGOs, teachers, etc.). See: https://atlarge.icann.org/en/news/announcement-665-2016-03-25-en) <https://atlarge.icann.org/en/news/announcement-665-2016-03-25-en)> https://atlarge.icann.org/afralo/afralo-activities-at-icann59-en <https://atlarge.icann.org/afralo/afralo-activities-at-icann59-en> Establishment of a new Memorandum of Understanding between AFRALO and AFRINIC. African ALSs Showcase their activities on the ground and their culture whenever it is an ICANN meeting on an African land. I'm proud that this exhibition has become a tradition in the whole At-Large. I am also proud that it was my ALS that hosted ICANN55 on African soil that I had the pleasure to lead successfully. My ALS is again the Local Host of the next ICANN meeting that will take place from 24 to 27 June 2019 in Marrakech. My pride would be even greater when other African ALSs could host meetings in their countries in the future. For both ICANN 55 and ICANN 65, I worked and I’m now working a lot with the authorities of my country to reach an important African participation. It should be noted that the ICANN55 Marrakech meeting in 2016 broke the African participation record of 960 participants from the continent. Thank you for nominating me and supporting my nomination for the AFRALO Vice Chair position; I Commit to share my experience and my skills to assist our new young Chair to extend this evolution so that our RALO continues to progress and defend in the most effective way the Internet end users of our continent. Please find below a summary of my biography: Aziz Hilali is a Professor at the Moroccan Telecommunications Graduate Institution (INPT) (www.inpt.ac.ma) He graduated from the University of Grenoble, where he earned a PhD in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics in 1987.

Bram Fudzulani Nominee Statement AFRALO Vice Chair
by Bram Fudzulani May 17, 2019

May 17, 2019

Dear fellow AFRALO community members Nomination Statement- English I would like to call for my fellow members of the community to believe in the cause that I stand for my candidacy. When I attended my first ICANN meeting as a fellow in 2014, the only thing I was able to take back was that the entire community comes from a different culture, language, race, color and ethnicity. However, one thing we all agreed and understood was that internet transcends all those barriers and that it is our universal language. I would like to dedicate my time and passion within the AFRALO through my Vice Chair position, to bring about the diversity and inclusiveness for all of our community members. Despite many efforts, African participation in the Internet governance and contribution to Internet issues has been limited. I believe with my passion and dedication together with the support from the community members we can continue the professional work of representing the Internet end users in Africa in the policy work within ICANN. Through our ALS I have worked with the ICANN global stakeholder engagement team in conducting a number of outreach programs and have assisted other African countries in setting up their national IGF chapters. I was recently selected as an AFRALO representative to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Sub Team – Track 5 – Geographic Names at the Top, am also a member of Outreach & Engagement Working group and Social Media Working Group. I understand that this role will require a lot of my time and dedication and I would like to pledge to serve in the best interest of all the community members regardless of diverse backgrounds. **************************************************************** Déclaration de candidature – français Je voudrais demander à mes collègues membres de la communauté de croire en la cause pour laquelle je défends ma candidature. Lorsque j'ai assisté à ma première réunion ICANN en tant que membre en 2014, la seule chose que j'ai pu récupérer, c'est que toute la communauté est issue d'une culture, d'une langue, d'une race, d'une couleur et d'une ethnie différentes. Cependant, une chose à laquelle nous avons tous souscrit et compris est qu'Internet transcende toutes ces barrières et qu'il s'agit de notre langage universel. Je voudrais consacrer mon temps et ma passion au sein d’AFRALO par le biais de mon poste de vice-président, pour apporter la diversité et l’inclusion à tous les membres de notre communauté. Malgré de nombreux efforts, la participation africaine à la gouvernance de l’Internet et sa contribution aux problèmes d’Internet ont été limitées. Je crois qu'avec ma passion et mon dévouement et le soutien des membres de la communauté, nous pouvons continuer le travail professionnel de représentation des utilisateurs finaux d'Internet en Afrique dans le travail de politique au sein de l'ICANN. À travers notre ALS, j'ai travaillé avec l'équipe mondiale d'engagement des parties prenantes de l'ICANN à la conduite de plusieurs programmes de sensibilisation et j'ai aidé d'autres pays africains à mettre en place leurs chapitres nationaux sur l'IGF. J'ai récemment été sélectionnée en tant que représentante d'AFRALO au sein de la sous-équipe de procédures ultérieures sur les procédures ultérieures des nouveaux gTLD - Piste 5 - Noms géographiques en haut, membre du groupe de travail sur la sensibilisation et l'engagement et du groupe de travail sur les médias sociaux. Je comprends que ce rôle demandera beaucoup de temps et de dévouement et je voudrais m'engager à servir au mieux les intérêts de tous les membres de la communauté, quels que soient leurs antécédents.

I led the team that drafted the Hot Topics and also further Co-chaired the AFRALO Hot Topics Implementation Plan which is currently in the implementation phase. I have also conducted various outreach and engagement activities with support from both the AFRALO Community, Global Stakeholder Engagement Team and staff support. Based on Trust of leadership, I was nominated to chair the Outreach and Engagement S/C a position I currently hold. With various representation, I make a promise to serve right from the time I joined ICANN and took up leadership, this is the same promise I live by to serve, build, advocate for young leaders and diversity in leadership. Due to the need for a dedicated and diverse community, I hereby request the AFRALO Community to support my nomination to the ALAC not for the sake for Daniel but because you trust that Daniel will be able to be a just leader and represent the diverse views, unbiased opinions towards the development of AFRALO and ICANN At-Large as I strongly affirm to representing the views of the end users in Africa Region. I welcome your respective support. Thank you Daniel K. Nanghaka -- Nanghaka Daniel K.

Acceptance and Statement Abdulkarim Oloyede As the AFRALO Rep to Nom COM
by ABDULKARIM AYOPO OLOYEDE May 16, 2019

May 16, 2019

Hi Everyone, I want to thank Dave who nominated me and all those who supported my nomination. To be honest, I never expected it and had no ideas I was going to be nominated. I only got a call suggesting I would be nominated 15 mins before I saw my nomination on the mailing list. It an honour for me and an invitation to do more for the community. People who are close to me would know that this is not part of my dream in ICANN, I had something else in mind, However, I am accepting this because I was overwhelmed with the amount of support I have received on the mailing list and privately especially by people I can’t even recognise. *About me.* I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Wireless Communication and Telecommunication policy the Department of Telecommunication Science at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. I am also the Head of Kwara State University (KWASU) Radio and TV unit. I obtained my first degree in Electrical Engineering from Bayero University in Kano, M.Sc, and the PhD degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Department of Electronics Engineering, the University of York in England in 2008, 2011 and 2015 respectively. I am currently a Post-doctoral researcher in York working on cost-effective and energy efficient ways of deploying telecommunication access in Africa cos of my passion for the entire Africa region to be connected. I have author or co-author over 40 scientific publications in reputable journals and conferences around the world. I am currently a holder of the prestigious Rutherford Commonwealth Post-Doctoral fellowship tenable at the University of York for my post-doctoral research, UK, the Vice Chairman representing Africa on the ITU-D Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG) and Vice Rapporteur for ITU question 5/2 on disaster management and relief. I am very active in discussions related to the stability and security of the internet echo system under various platforms and organization such as but not limited to AFRINIC, RIPE, IETF, ITU and ICANN. I have travelled and has visited over 40 different countries across the globe. *My ICANN Journey* Over the last six years, I have been committed to playing an active role in making the internet stable. I have always advocated for the stability and security of the internet and also for Africa to play a vital role in the governance of the internet. I have always been a defender of the African community while advocating for Africans to play a vital role and pull our weight in the governance of the internet as done by other regions as it is a common resource. About 18 months ago, I came across ICANN and became the 1st AFRALO individual member since then I have gone to understand its mission and became passionate about the organisation. I became a volunteer immediately, and I begin to understand the role of ICANN in a stable and secure Internet. I have attended over 20 Webinars (some of which I helped organise) and taking over 10 ICANN learn modules over a period of one year to understand the organisation better. I was offered a fellowship to attend ICANN 61 as my first face to face meeting, and I could not resist been committed to the organisation afterwards. I spent my saving to attend ICANN 62, 63 and 64 and I have also made personal plans to be in Marrakech for ICANN 65 even though I am not in any way a rich person (my monthly salary from my day job is about $700) neither do I benefit financially directly or indirectly from attending the meetings face to face. I just follow my passion. Contributing to this community has only been a passion for me. Every day when I read emails asking for volunteer within the community I can’t resist putting myself forward because of my passion for the internet stability and security. To me, ICANN is like an obligation which I can’t afford to let down. I firmly believe that the African communities especially Sub Saharan Africa is not pulling its weight enough in the ICANN community for a number of reasons which are peculiar to the continent and I fully understand. However, I believe that based on my educational and professional background I have to contribute to this organisation and make sure I add my weight to the others coming from the African community to show our commitment to this common duty. For me, it was not about being active just during the time of elections or to get travel funding to meetings it was a passion I truly have. I have been active as a volunteer within different parts of ICANN and the At-large community. I have volunteered and participated in the policy development process as much as I can within the period I became a member. I have been active in the Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) where I have been a pen holder for the drafting of statements (about 3 statements now), new gTLD WT5 working group, and I have also been a working group chair for AFRALO. I have put myself forward three times in the last one year to chair working groups within AFRALO I was successful on two occasions (Co-chair of AFRALO hot topic and Co-chair for the Technology Task Force). In addition to this, I have actively participated in drafting AFRALO statement for ICANN 62, 63 and 64 and in fact, I read out the statement at ICANN 63 in Barcelona. I don’t just put myself forward and attend a meeting without contributing I am very active during the meeting and the records are there. I just made a search of my name on the ICANN Atlarge community page and it came up with 369 results meaning averagely I contribute every day to the At large community, I have attended all (100%) AFRALO monthly meeting since I became a member and have been very active in most meetings, I have also attended over 80% of the At Large monthly call since I became a member. In addition, I am a member of the RSSAC Caucus and a member of the RSSAC RSS metric working party. I decided to contribute across board based on my expertise and passion. *Why am I the best Candidate?* I believe I have all the qualities required to serve on NOMCOM as I have participated in recruiting Vice chancellors for reputable Universities (I was a member of the Interview and appointment committee that recruited the Vice-chancellor of University of York, UK and the University of Lagos, Nigeria) and other senior officers of world-class organisations. I am the 1 st individual member of AFRALO and I have also been bringing some 1st position to AFRALO, as the Co-chair of AFRALO Hot topics, AFRALO became the 1st RALO to produce the hot topic Policy manual which was commended by both the ICANN CEO and Board chair at the ICANN 64meeting in Kobe. I am someone who doesn’t sit on the fence or watch the party from the outside, I always pull my weight wherever I find myself. I was a member of the ATLAS III, leadership development team and I actively pulled my weight until Africa was allocated a minimum of 10 slots for the summit. In addition to my contributions above, I am the most active of all the nominees for this (AFRALO rep to NOMCOM) position in AFRALO activities (maybe even At large activities) in the last one year (The facts are there and I can prove this to anyone) I believe I was nominated based on my records and passion for ICANN and not because one of my travel funding is about to end or because I need travel funding. I am committed to the African community. I have decided to be active in areas where few Africans are active. Therefore, Win or Lose, I would continue to do more because this is what makes me happy every day. Thank You. -- *Dr. Abdulkarim A.Oloyede*. *B.

Internet South Africa - *new* introduction
by Alan Levin May 15, 2019

May 15, 2019

Dear Friends and Colleagues, I do hope this email finds you all well. It has been a while and I have a grey beard :) There seem to be many mailing lists I would appreciate your guidance. The Internet Society placed us a good predicament and we have split ISOC-ZA local activities from the chapter activities. I consider the RALO as the chapter activity so this is now called Internet South Africa - accepted as the Internet Society chapter of South Africa. The new Internet South Africa Board includes the following volunteers, Adri Loubser - Chairperson <adri.baard(a)gmail.com> Theo Maseloanyane - Board Member <MSLTHE006(a)myuct.ac.za> They have read the rules and promise to attend your telecon :) Please assist to guide them to get added. I believe they will both make excellent ambassadors for South Africa. Thank you Mohamed El Bashir for your amazing service through think and thin :) Sincerely Alan Levin -- Alan Levin ---------------------------------- Chairman ISOC-ZA +27 21 4882820 (ddi)

The CSC is responsible for monitoring Public Technical Identifier’s (PTI) performance of the IANA naming function against the service level expectations in the IANA Naming Function Contract. The CSC analyzes performance reports provided by PTI and publishes its findings. The CSC is authorized to undertake remedial action to address poor performance of the IANA naming function, and if performance issues are not remedied, may escalate the issues to the ccNSO and GNSO.
