Thank you Seun for your inputs. Of course I have forwarded the document to the WG and await the calls for a meeting for further discussion. As desirable as the right(?) of any member to contest for another elective position apart from the one previously held is the disadvantage of conscripting the space for other members who also have something to offer to the community and ICANN. Politically and morally speaking, anyone who has enjoyed a TWO terms tenure in any representational capacity should honourable give way for others to seek election and not close the gap. That is the essence. All the Regions though I speak for AFRALO have large member followership and more are still coming which will help to advance the visibility of ICANN all over the world, and it should be encouraging for all to have a sense of belonging when they can be inspired(encouraged) to be more participatory. All the same, it is open for debate and discussion and wisdom will prevail. It was nice meeting everyone again and new members after London 2014. We shall be seeing more of each other from now on.Best Pastor Peters Osawaru OMORAGBON, Treasurer, Central Association of Nigerians in the UK-CANUK Executive President/CEO-Nurses Across the Borders Inc.(USA & NIGERIA) President, Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria- DNAN International Liaison Officer, Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association-UK (NNCA-UK General Secretary, Civil Society Network on Climate Change in Nigeria Fellow-Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers- ICANNFellow-Open Society Institute, BudapestDesignated Focal Person-United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change- UNFCCC in NigeriaBoard Member, Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGO Member, Steering Committee, Regional Committee for Africa-Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGOTel: +441438729726, +234-8052658024,Email: nursesacrosstheborders@yahoo.com, petersomoragbon2@yahoo.co.uk, www.nursesacrosstheborders.org On Thursday, June 29, 2017, 7:50:07 AM PDT, Seun Ojedeji <seun.ojedeji@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Pastor Peters, Thanks for your mail, as you are a member of the ROP working group, It may be good for this to be put on our agenda at the next meeting (a suggestion to the Chair). That said, a few comments on this proposal: 1. Currently the AFRALO offices are term limited and that is 2 terms. I do think that is reasonably appropriate. 2. AFRALO rep to NOMCOM has a 2 terms limit and I also do think that is fine as well. 3. The ALAC seat isn't term limited and as ALAC operates on it's own rule. I am not sure we can limit it at RALO level. Nevertheless it's something worth considering a work around on. I certainly think 2 terms limit may be appropriate as well. 4. Membership in any CCWG or WG lifetime is dependent on the specific charter of the group and I certainly do not think this should be restricted by any means. I also do not think any past officer should be denied access to be nominated for other offices different from the one he/she is term limited on. We should leave it to the ALSes to determine who they want to serve and represent them in the various positions. Overall it was nice meeting you and other ALS reps in Jobourg and I do like to request that we keep the interactions going online for both administrative and ICANN policy issues. Wishing you all a safe trip back home.

We shall continue to have this discussed and debated in AFRALO to move it forward.Thanking you for your assistanceBest Pastor Peters Osawaru OMORAGBON, Treasurer, Central Association of Nigerians in the UK-CANUK Executive President/CEO-Nurses Across the Borders Inc.(USA & NIGERIA) President, Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria- DNAN International Liaison Officer, Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association-UK (NNCA-UK General Secretary, Civil Society Network on Climate Change in Nigeria Fellow-Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers- ICANNFellow-Open Society Institute, BudapestDesignated Focal Person-United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change- UNFCCC in NigeriaBoard Member, Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGO Member, Steering Committee, Regional Committee for Africa-Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN- CONGOTel: +441438729726, +234-8052658024,Email: nursesacrosstheborders@yahoo. com, petersomoragbon2@yahoo.co.uk, www.nursesacrosstheborders.org ______________________________ _________________ afralo-rop mailing list afralo-rop@atlarge-lists. icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/ listinfo/afralo-rop
