Dear Afralo members: As you will recall, on 19th August we sent a reminder to this list, noting that the 25th August 2008 was the deadline for the ALAC to receive a list of those from your Geographic Region who were to be forwarded to the ALAC to choose from amongst for appointment to the Nominating Committee. As the ALAC have not received any communication from the region, we are writing to advise you (and the ALAC by copy) that we are aware of two persons who have let the region know that they are willing to serve: 1. Khaled Koubaa the incumbent Nominating Commmittee member from Africa 2. Alan Levin, of ISOC South Africa, who is self-nominated with a second from McTim on the list We note that there has not been a recommendation from the regional Secretariat on behalf of the region. Mindful of the fact that the ALAC needs to proceed to selecting the list of Nominating Committee appointments for the coming year (which are actually due on 31 August), it will now be for the ALAC to decide to vote on the above-mentioned persons or to otherwise resolve upon a candidate from the African Geographic Region who shall be appointed to the NomCom for the upcoming year. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Frederic Teboul ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff@atlarge.icann.org
