Dear All, Seun has given a convincing reason why Aziz would be a very good candidate as the Vice Chair. I have also spoken to some other leaders of this community who told me how much Aziz as contributed to this community especially when ICANN meetings were held in Morocco. Based on this I am convinced and I hope I can convince us all to support Aziz Hilali to be the Vice-Chair of AFRALO. We really need people like him to give a balance and learn from his experience.

Hello Pastor Peters, Members Thank you for your mail, I just like to touch on one thing; as much as I appreciate your support for my nomination, I would hope that it's not made on the condition that you've stated; the reason why each of us serve and leave varies at various times (and some may be personal reasons) but it ultimately should be up to you and all the other ALSes to decide on whether to elect/return a nominee, so long as the person is not term limited. I certainly value bringing in new folks(and have always make effort to encourage that), but I also appreciate the importance of not loosing the active old folks as well hence we need to always try to have that balance. I have seen that the Vice Chair position is now contested and I am sure either of the nominee will serve our RALO very well and I encourage voters to put into consideration the importance of having a balance of experience on the leadership. Finally, there are various open leadership positions, I will support whoever is elected/declared by the ALS majority. We should not be "schooled" by non AFRALO members on diversity as we know and have diversity in us in various forms but I hope that we as AFRALO will continue to ensure that our diversity remains our strength irrespective of the form of diversity that we have decided to have on our leadership.

This is reminiscent of Nelson Mandela of South Aftica. Having said that, I also commend your choice of a successor which deviate from the old tradition of recycling of AFRALO leadership within the region. Your decision is a demonstration of your foresight to introduce new breeds into the affairs of AFRALO. As a region we should be dynamic and move with the trends of civilization. Though Seun has served in ALAC but considering his years in ICANN he has done much. It is for the above reasons that Nurses Across the Borders will be supporting the nomination of the following people as nominated but with strong reservation for an Aziz Vice Chairmanship after completing two tenures and to now step lower to vie for or accept any nomination of Vice chairman. Aziz is my friend but I would urge him to decline the nomination and give room for others to occupy. I have always been very Frank and objective to issues. If we want AFRALO to be all inclusive and all participatory, we should expand the leadership front and encourage new leaders to emerge. That is how we can be strengthened and empowered. We cannot be using the same people all year round and expect a different output or achievement from them. I do hope that Seun if elected would honourably do one tenure (having served twice as ALAC rep for AFRALO). This position is not different from the cause I raised in the ROP WG and at the General Assembly in South Africa. If other RALOs and ICANN structures are committing the same error, AFRALO can lead by example for others to emulate. I would still take the struggle to the ICANN Ombudsman to look at the leakages of the laws guiding ICANN activities in terms of electing leaders. Today the world largest democracy where ICANN is domiciled allows for ONLY two tenures for their Presidents. ICANN must represent such values. To this end I support the following nominations 1- Seun for the position of Chair of AFRALO 2- Vice-Chair position any other nomination 3- Abdulkarim O., NomCom delegate 4- Dave Kissoondoyal to represent AFRALO to ALAC They have my support because they are a breathe of Fresh air to AFRALO. I hope they too will follow in Basjir"s footsteps. Congratulations in advance to you all.
