NOMINATION ACCEPTANCE NOTED - AFRALO 2026 leadership elections message- NOMINATIONS Open !
by Gisella Gruber April 27, 2026

April 27, 2026

Dear Raïhanath, Your nomination acceptance has been noted. Your SOI as well as your candidate statement have been posted on the wiki page. Thank you! Kind regards, Gisella From: Raïhanath GBADAMASSI <rainath03(a)gmail.com> Date: Friday, 24 April 2026 at 18:01 To: Afri-Discuss <afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, AFRI-Discuss <afri-discuss(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [AFRI-Discuss] Re: AFRALO 2026 leadership elections message- NOMINATIONS Open ! Dear all, I hope this email finds you well. I would like to thank @Raymond Mamattah<mailto:mamattah.raymond@gmail.com> for the nomination and his support. I would also like to thank all the people in our AFRALO family, for whom I have a great deal of respect and admiration for their great open-mindedness and the efforts made for the development of our community. The challenges of the Internet ecosystem in our region are increasingly great and numerous, but it is gratifying to see that the AFRALO community has many more members ready to volunteer to meet the daily challenges. It is therefore with pleasure that I accept the nomination to continue to contribute together to meet our challenges. As a legal specialist in digital law, my mandate within ALAC is truly instructive, as it has allowed me, while learning, to live an enriching experience through the design of various procedures and policies that govern the ecosystem. These policies and procedures are the fundamental bases that guide all decisions and actions that allow the development of the entire Internet infrastructure. As a member of ALAC, working within the CPWG and OFB working groups, our reflections and studies focus on protocols, DNS, universal acceptance, the emergence of AI, etc., and the development of new gTLDs, around which several works have led to the provision of facilities such as the support program. Financial management with transparency and accountability is also part of our work. All of this is a real experience that I want to further consolidate for the benefit of our community by continuing to proudly carry the voice of AFRALO in the development and proposal of these policies within ALAC. Your support and accompaniment, which you have given me so far, are still necessary, and I know I can count on everyone so that together we can continue to develop our region. You can find my SOI here: https://urls.fr/HkCXK6 [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> *** *** *** Chers tous, J'espère que mon mail vous retrouve en pleine forme. Je voudrais remercier @Raymond Mamattah<mailto:mamattah.raymond@gmail.com> pour la nomination et son soutien. Je voudrais également remercier toutes les personnes de notre famille AFRALO pour qui j'ai beaucoup de respect et d'admiration pour leur grand esprit d'ouverture et les efforts consentis pour le développement de notre communauté. Les défis de l'écosystème Internet de notre région sont de plus en plus grands et nombreux mais il est heureux, de constater que la communauté AFRALO comporte beaucoup plus de membres prêts à se dévouer au bénévolat pour relever les challenges au quotidien. C'est donc avec plaisir que j'accepte la nomination pour continuer à contribuer ensemble à relever nos défis. En tant que juriste spécialiste du droit du numérique, mon mandat au sein de ALAC est véritablement instructif, car cela m'a permis, tout en apprenant, de vivre une expérience enrichissante à travers la conception de différentes procédures et politiques qui gouvernent l'écosystème. Ces politiques et procédures sont les bases fondamentales qui guident toute décision et action qui permettent de développer toute l'infrastructure de l'Internet. En tant que membre de L'ALAC, en travaillant au sein des groupes de travaux CPWG et OFB, nos réflexions et études portent sur les protocoles, le DNS, l'acceptance universelle, l'émergence de l'IA etc... et le développement des nouveaux gTLD autour duquel plusieurs travaux ont conduit à la mise à disposition de facilité comme le programme de soutien. La gestion financière avec transparence et obligation des comptes font également partie de nos travaux. Tout cela est une véritable expérience que je souhaite davantage consolider au profit de notre communauté en continuant de porter fièrement la voix de AFRALO dans l'élaboration et la proposition de ces politiques au sein de L'ALAC. Vos soutiens et accompagnements dont vous m'aviez gratifié jusqu'ici, sont encore nécessaires et je sais compter sur tous pour que nous puissions ensemble continuer à développer notre région.

Nomination of Tijani Ben Jemaa for ALAC Member representing AFRALO.
by Ibrahim Elijah April 24, 2026

April 24, 2026

Dear AfRALO Community, It is with great enthusiasm that I submit this nomination for Tijani Ben Jemaa to serve as an At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) member representing the African Regional At-Large Organization (AFRALO). Tijani is not merely a participant in our community; he is widely regarded as a foundational father of AFRALO. Since 2009, his leadership has been instrumental in shaping the trajectory of African internet policy and ensuring that the voices of African end-users are heard clearly within the ICANN ecosystem. Why Tijani is the Ideal Candidate: ✓ Deep Institutional Knowledge: Having served as the Vice-Chair of AFRALO, Tijani possesses an intimate understanding of the organizational mechanics and the strategic goals of the At-Large community. ✓ Technical Expertise: As a seasoned telecommunications engineer and former TV broadcasting station manager, he brings a rigorous technical perspective to policy discussions. This ensures that his contributions are not only grounded in advocacy but also in technical feasibility. ✓ Commitment to Fairness and Diversity: Tijani has consistently championed equitable representation. His landmark proposal for a **weighted voting system** demonstrated his foresight in preventing any single nation from exerting disproportionate influence, thereby protecting the diverse interests of all ALSes across the continent. ✓ Broad Regional Influence: Beyond ICANN, his role as Director of the Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) highlights his ability to bridge regional interests and foster collaboration across different internet governance bodies. Tijani’s combination of technical mastery, long-standing leadership, and unwavering dedication to the African internet community makes him the most qualified candidate to represent our region at the ALAC level. We are confident that his appointment will strengthen AFRALO’s impact and contribute significantly to ICANN’s global mission. Thank you for your time and for considering this nomination of a true pillar of our community. Best regards, Elijah Ibrahim Chief Facilitator - Cyber Security, Digital Space for Digital Governance.
