Dear Staff, Please accept this correspondence as confirmation of my acceptance of the nomination for the AFRALO NomCom representative position. My candidacy is underscored by my prior engagement within the AFRALO community, including my tenure as Co-chair of the Outreach and Engagement (O&E) working group. Furthermore, my active participation in various working groups within the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the ICANN ecosystem. My commitment to Internet Governance in Africa is demonstrated through my current service as a member of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) for the African Internet Governance Forum (AfIGF). This builds upon my previous experience as a MAG member for the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF) from 2021 to 2024. As a dedicated supporter of AFRALO's mission and its integral role within ICANN, I am confident that, with the support of community members, I can effectively and strategically represent the AFRALO community within the NomCom. Sincerely, Bram ________________________________ From: Seun Ojedeji via AFRI-Discuss <afri-discuss@icann.org> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2025 10:18 PM To: mbashir@mbash.net <mbashir@mbash.net> Cc: afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org <afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] Re: 2025 At-Large Leadership Call for Nominations Dear Staff, I like to support the nomination of Aziz, Abdeljeli, Hadia for the positions they have been nominated to and would like to nominate Bram Fudzulani for the nomcom position.

Regarding the announcement for ALAC regional representative nominations, I would like to nominate Professor Aziz Hilali for a second term as the ALAC representative for AFRALO. As many of you know, Aziz is a passionate advocate for AFRALO and consistently brings African end-users' perspectives to the ICANN community. His extensive connections across the community, hosted ICANN and us in Morocco multiple times, besides his deep experience in Internet governance as the founder and leader of ISOC Morocco, make him exceptionally qualified for this role. During his first ALAC term (2023-2025), Aziz has been active, making impactful contributions to ICANN policy development while strongly representing our regional interests in global Internet governance discussions. Supporting his nomination for a second term would ensure valuable continuity and strong leadership for AFRALO within ALAC. His continued service would build upon the relationships and initiatives he has already established. Thank you!
