My Dear AFRALO Family, YOUR VOTE, MY MANDATE In less than 24 hours from now the POLLING for our elections will be opened from May 10 to May 24. You have heard from ALL OF US. You saw me yesterday during the Conference call. The only candidate amongst the THREE of us that honoured the request from the ICANN staff to put on our camera for some personal touch. I did! We needed the bonding. As you cast your votes think back on who amongst us is offering himself for service out of a genuine commitment to AFRALO. Not someone looking to enrich his CV! We need a Secretsry that is exposed and experienced. A strong voice for the AFRALO community. I have the requisite experience and knowledge having served in both leadership, administrative and managerial positions in both local, national and international organisations up to the United Nations Economic and Social Council as Permanent UN Representative to the First Nigerian United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Designated Contact Person. I shall within the period of my stewardship as the next Secretary of AFRALO, not only promote AFRALO within ICANN but explore every opportunity to promote and expose AFRALO within the United Nations ecosystem. AFRALO needs the exposure. I am the CHANGE AGENT AFRALO needs at this critical season of human development. Thank you as you TRUST ME with your votes. Your Servant Pastor Peters Omoragbon Executive President Nurses Across the Borders International (AFRALO ALS 2010 to date)
