Thank you for sharing the draft charter of the AFRALO Advisory Group (AAG). I hope this message finds everyone well. I appreciate the efforts of Pastor Peters and the leadership team in preparing this document. After reviewing the draft, I have provided the following suggestions for strengthening the charter: 1. *Clarification of AAG’s Role*: I recommend explicitly defining whether the AAG’s advice is binding, advisory, or consultative, and how it interfaces with the formal decision-making processes within AFRALO. 2. *Reporting and Accountability*: It would be beneficial to include a section on how the AAG will report to the AFRALO leadership, such as periodic reports or an annual summary of advisory inputs. 3. *Onboarding and Continuity*: I suggested incorporating an onboarding process for new members and designating a liaison for continuity to maintain consistency and effective participation within the group. 4. *Simplification of ICANN Bylaws*: The section referencing the ICANN Bylaws is quite dense. I recommend summarizing the relevance of the Bylaws in simpler terms and moving the full text to an appendix for easier readability. I will be happy to discuss any of these points further if needed. I look forward to contributing to the continued development of the AAG.
