Hello AFRALO family, Thank you madam Fatimata Seye Sylla for my nomination as the AFRALO delegate to the NomCom. I am also grateful for the supports I have so far received following my nomination. Thank you all. On this note, I would like to confirm my acceptance of the nomination to serve in the NomCom role. Brief Profile: I am Raymond Selorm Mamattah from Accra Ghana. I am an Administrative Manager in my day job and also the Founder and President of the E-Governance and Internet Governance Foundation for Africa (EGIGFA), which is an At-Large Structure (ALS) in Ghana. Through EGIGFA, I have been leading my team to organise the annual Ghana School on Internet Governance (GhanaSIG) fellowship since its inception and we are in the 5th year. Through EGIGFA and GhanaSIG we have brought a lot of engaging participants both in Ghana and outside Ghana into the ICANN and AFRALO family. My educational qualifications are a Bachelor in Business Administration (HR option), MSc in Information Security, and MA in Adult Learning and Global Change. I also have a host of certificates that are useful for the NomCom role. I am an ICANN70 Fellow and having been selected and trained at the At-Large Summit III (ATLAS III) during ICANN66, I am an At-Large Ambassador. I am also a North America School of Internet Governance (NASIG) Fellow, as well as India School on Internet Governance Fellow (inSIG). I have been actively engaging in the ICANN community for a while in various constituencies and capacities. These include ALAC Member (2022-2023), At-Large representative in the 2021 and 2022 ICANN Community Excellence Award Panel. I was also a member of the Planning Committee of the AFRALO General Assembly that took place in Accra Ghana last year among others. I am also very active in the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) as the Vice Chair of the Communication Working Group, where among others I work on the UA Newsletter. Outside ICANN, I am very much engaged in mentoring and selection committees to bring in more new people into the Internet governance ecosystem, such as: - In the Internet Society (ISOC) global, I have been a Mentor in their ISOC Youth IGF Fellowship for four years now. I also volunteer for the various ISOC fellowships as their application evaluator in the ISOC Youth IGF fellowship, Early Career Fellowship Programme, and the Mid-Career Fellowship program, among others. - I have served in the ISOC and AFRINIC Nomination Committees (NomCom) which has given me good knowledge and skills to be an effective AFRALO representative in the Nomination Committee.

My SOI can also be found at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Raymond+Selorm+Mamattah+SOI.

Dear AFRALO Colleagues and Staff,
I would like to nominate Raymond Mamattah to represent AFRALO in the NomCom. Raymond demonstrated his excellent capacities in nominating committees as a former member of ISOC NomCom and AFRINIC NomCom. As an ALAC member, among other activities, he represented ALAC twice in the community excellence award panel, participated in drafting ALAC position in the guidelines on the Travel Support conditions amended after COVID. He has been very active and has tremendously contributed to the African community’s engagement in ICANN, as a member of the UASAG and a leading member of Internet governance. I have no doubt that Raymond will contribute even more as a NomCom member.
I invite my AFRALO colleagues to please join me to support this nomination.
Thank you,
Fatimata
