Dear All,

First of all, thanks to all the ALS who has voted for me for the AFRALO ALAC Member (RALO) position and greetings to all those who has not voted for me. 

Congratulations to all the elected members of the AFRALO leadership positions and greetings to the members who are not elected.

If you are not elected, this does not mean that you are less important that those who have been elected. You have your equal importance in our community and we need you as much as the elected members. Unity in diversity is our strength and let us not make minor issues divide us.

I concur with the last email from Mohamed and agree that in the future, there should be no mention of the Nomcom ALAC seat in the announcement for AFRALO.

It might be a mistake but it has been quickly corrected by staff and we should all apologize for it instead of putting the blame (on ourselves)

Let us close this issue now and proceed with serenity.

Our leaders in AFRALO have struggled to lead us where we are now and let us pledge to take it further. We can only be successful if we proceed as one team, as one nation and as one united community. Unity will continue to be our best asset and our strength.

Best regards

Dave Kissoondoyal

President

Dear Hadia,

The text on the announcement has just indicated that this seat is Eligible for re-selection by the Nomcom, the wording error regarding wining by “acclamation” was quickly corrected by staff in a follow up email with the subject “CORRECTION”.

AFRALO procedures dose not intersect with the Nomcom process. I guess in the future, there should be no mention of the Nomcom ALAC seat, it seems this was the standard announcement that has been used before to show transparency about all the positions.

Thanks 

Kind Regards,

Mohamed El Bashir

Dear Mohamed,

Thank you for your corrective email. I would like to additionally note that I don't think it is right to include the Nom Com AFRALO position in the sent out email because there might be other candidates that deserve to have their names put as well. (Also who applied or not is confidential information only held by Nom Com - as far as I know-)

Being eligible for reelection does not mean anything, all candidates who have applied to the position are eligible to being selected.

Posting a name for the Nom Com nominee allows us to mistakenly doubt the process and is not fair to all the other candidates who might have applied, in addition it defeats the fairness and transparency that should be associated with the whole process. Finally I thank you all for your comments and emails.

Kind Regards

Hadia

Congratulations to all the elected AfRALO leaders, I am happy that we have achieved 70% to 80% voting, which great engagement by all our ALS.

Dear Pastor Peters, Seun

Thank you for your messages and raising your concerns regarding AfRALO ALAC representative selection by the Nomcom announcement. 

You are right this position announcement was done by mistake as it not part of AfRALO elections process.

Staff (Evin) has resent the announcement with a correction ( in red text ).

AfRALO have 1 seat in the ALAC that is selected by the nomcom process ( as other RALOs as well ), Hadia Elminiwai, the current Nomcom appointee to ALAC representing AfRLO is eligible for re-selection by the Nomcom, it’s the Nomcom decision and process, the Nomcom will announce its selected Candidates for this position and all other positions including the board seats by end of ICANN65.

AfRALO selects its representative to the Nomcom by election, which Abdulkarim has won the majority votes for this position. 

Apology for the confusion caused including the Nomcom ALAC’s AfRALO seat in the elections announcement.

Kind Regards,

Mohamed El Bashir

AfRALO Chair

Dear All.

First let me congratulate all the AFRALO members who won the recent elections.

Very curious is the caveat attached to the overwhelming triumph of Abdulkarim Oloyede for Nomcom.

1. What is the difference between African Region representative and AFRALO representative?

2. Why would an AFRALO representative be SELECTED by an acclamation? Acclamation by whom if I may ask?

3. Why subject the AFRALO members to the rigours of an election for Nomcom when ICANN has a different surreptitious method of SELECTING a representative for us?

4, Could I be appraised of the relevant sections of the ICANN rules of procedures for this please?

5., Why would a candidate that was not elected by its RALO be made to have preference over an above an elected candidate?

6. I am by this letter requesting the leadership of afralo to make this issue an agenda item for the teleconference slated for June 6.

7. My ALS and others guided by democratic tenets oppose this and it shall be vehemently resisted. 

 Please, I demand an official response from ICANN. 

Thank you.
