I am one of 5 other great nominees but I am the only one representing our mother land Africa. Africa has been in the past represented in the ICANN Board by African pioneers like Nii Quaynor, Katim Touray, Mohamed Diop and Njeri Rionge ( sorry if I missed someone). Africa has been also always a vibrant community in ICANN sphere, a community that I had the privilege to be part of since many years. I still have great memories of the Afralo creation during the ICANN meeting in Lisbon Portugal in 2007. I am here asking for our community support to join the ICANN board and serve the ICANN with this great experience and loving moments I lived in the African AfriNIC/ICANN community. There is a phase for comment that is open until March 31st. I would appreciate if you can support my candidature by adding a comment on my biography available here <https://aso.icann.org/khaled-koubaa/>. Thank you in advance and looking to see you soon, Khaled Koubaa -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno http://www.otienobarrack.me.ke/
