Dear Pastor Peters,I like to request that you apply some decorum in your interactions and please stop accusing other members on their choice of nominee or who they support.Every member have an independent choice of supporting or nominating whoever they please so I urge you to stop this kind of intimidating comments to members.I will like to remind everyone that these are volunteer positions and feel free to nominate or support whoever that you believe would contribute positively to the growth of AFRALO as per our existing rules of procedure.Finally I like to urge everyone to engage one another with mutual respect while also observing ICANN's engagement policies.ICANN Expected Standards of Behavior:

They maybe active in their countries for all I care, but tell me how many AFRALO meetings these candidates have attended in the last 5 yrs! What have they contributed to AFRALO in the past 5 yrs?During the WG on ROP we were considering even adopting that ALS who are not active in AFRALO activities be deregistered. So why is it so convenient by those who should know better to draft their cronies into leadership roles in AFRALO when these individuals have not been involved in their engagement within AFRALO? That was why I opposed Hadia. And now we are taking this very far with the nomination of both Beran and Raihanah. I have nothing personal against them . We must learn to reward and appreciate members who have been contributing so much to the visibility and engagement of AFRALO within icannatlarge.Sarah was not elected on the basis of her gender but on her active engagement as GS in AFRALO and in other AFRALO activities. She was a household name. Can this be said of both Beran and Raihanah? Or even your elected AFRALO Chair?I wish you all well. Whoever you choose to Elect is not my cup of tea. Posterity is there to judge all our intentions.Remain blessed.Pastor Peters OmoragbonOn Tue, 30 May 2023, 04:11 Olévié A.

There is no confusion about the gender of Ms Raihanah. I know very well that she is a woman.
My mail was only to highlight that there is an AFRALO member who insisted that he knows her very well and that he worked with her while he doesn’t know that she is a woman and not a man.
You may say it’s a typo that all of us make. It wasn’t since he repeated 3 times in 3 lines “his” instead of “her”
I hope this closes this discussion.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This shows why we must have elections,when confusion arises over the gender of a candidate who is to represent us. From the ongoing discussions, I get the impression that people are confused about whether Gbadamassi is a male or female.
I assume Gbadamassi belongs to this forum. As someone who aspires to represent AFRALO, she owes us a duty to declare his or her status.
Or is that too much to ask of someone who wants to represent us?
Regards,
Adetokunbo Abiola
