Hello Pastor Peters, Olivier,

Session 1 is synonymous to AFRALO-Africann session where we have invited guest it's the reason the chair is the moderator in that case. As to the second session, it's largely an administrative session where there will also be member voting and discussion etc hence the chair leads that as well.

As to the new leadership, kindly note that current leadership tenure will be concluded at icann78 am sure you will hear from them thereafter but the incoming chair is on the agenda so perhaps she can use the opportunity to highlight a few things as she finds applicable.

I hope this helps

Regards

Dear All.

I observe an improvement in the current draft,  but I have the following comments that needs to be made for a further review. 

Day One

First Session

Seun will moderate first session, give welcome remarks, introduce and and set the ground rule item 3 and give the closing remarks

As Chairman,  Seun should not moderate because he has official roles as in Welcome Address and closing remarks as Host.

Anyone else can moderate and perform item 3. 

Session 2

Seun moderating, and gives the closing remarks. 

The role of the moderator should be assigned to someone else. While someone  gives the closing remarks .

My observations are without prejudice to the capability of Seun to do the job. But as a mark of inclusiveness of all members.  Crowding roles to just current and past leadership of AFRALO to me is defeating that purpose. There is a lot of room to make leaders have a sense of belonging. One role per Any leader is not a bad idea

That is my take on this.  You may hate me or like me for it. It is an objective assessment  it is not about anyone of us. It is about AFRALO.

See you all in Accra by His grace.

Pastor Pet

Good day Mr Chairman 

I have gone through the supposed final agenda only to discover that in item 5 where issues affecting AFRALO Newsletter was to be addressed that the names of those speaking there namely Remmy Nweke and Olivier were missing with some notes which suggests intension to shutdown that session.

For the records, that session was proposed by us to enable the team address issues of  lack of optimisation by members and contribution to production thereof.

You are aware of the challenges the team is facing including but not limited to lack of motivation and optimal translations among others. This session is an opportunity to recommit the contact persons directly and take feedbacks as well.

Therefore, I wil suggest that the names of the speakers like in other sessions and as confirmed via Prof Aziz email be reflected.

Secondly that the note also appended on that session be espurged to afford it run its cause despite that the time is just 20mins.

Thanks for your understanding.
