Good morning Pierre, Thank you for your mail. I want first to clarify that the issues I raised were under discussion or adopted by some or all the other RALOs. I raised them for reflection and discussion. They are not my proposals for adoption, not at all. We need to review our operating principles, and I gave the issues that may be part of the review. As for the individual membership, I do understand your concern, and I share it with you and others. That’s why some of the other RALOs adopted it but with the creation of a regional ALS for all the individuals so that they will not be singletons but all of them in a single ALS for individuals. Once again, we need to think about it, and if accepted, we have to find the right way to implement it. I find the discussion on the list very interesting, and it should continue to reach consensus after this debate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: + 216 41 649 605 Mobile: + 216 98 330 114 Fax: + 216 70 853 376 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- De : Pierre DOVONOU LOKOSSOU [mailto:pierredovonou@hotmail.com] Envoyé : mardi 22 juillet 2014 00:48 À : Tijani BEN JEMAA Cc : afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org Objet : Re: [AFRI-Discuss] REview of the AFRALO Operating Principles Hi Tidjani and all, I personally do not feel comfortable with that idea of individual membership. I may be wrong but for me, to belong a group or an association is a proof of mind openness. Since our organization is not suffering of lack of competent managers, I suggest not to bring onboard "singleton geniuses" who could bring surprises. Unless they will be co-opted. _____________ Pierre DOVONOU LOKOSSOU | President ISOC-Benin Place du Québec | Tel +229 95 06 5092 BP 337 Cotonou - Bénin Le 19 juil. 2014 à 03:05, "Tijani BEN JEMAA" <tijani.benjemaa@fmai.org.tn> a écrit : Français ci-dessous ------------------------ Dear all, During the AFRALO General Assembly in London, I raised the issue of the AFRALO Operating Principles review, and gave some points that need reflection: · Individual membership · Vote weighting · Metrics of performance · Decertification I’m attaching the current operating principles (French and English).
