Hello Pastor Peters,

Good evening sir. Hope you are doing well.

I personally think you could be a bit more polite in your feedback to Hadia. Your email is very harsh and I suggest you tone down a bit with your choice of words sir. I know you might come back and heat hard at me, but it is good I draw your attention to this. Kindly tone down on your submissions.

Coming to the substantive issue, Hadia having told us Bram has shown interest does not mean she has made a final decision. If she has I am not sure she will be asking for our opinion again. So if you or anyone else is interested, kindly indicate it to her.

Regards,

Raymond Mamattah

Dear Hadia

I hope my email finds you well.

Formally, let me congratulate you on your assumption into office as AFRALO Chairperson. During last week's Conference call, I did offer one belatedly.

Nonetheless, even though I did not support your candidature for the office, I was one of those who supported your novel initiative of bringing together past Alumni of the ICANN Fellowship program as a Think Tank at the last meeting.

I did believe that you have a visionary plan for AFRALO and as a team player, I put my interest second to the organization's interest.

Reading this information from you on the request for the CIP  nomination and your last statement in your letter makes me sick! Bram has expressed interest in the position and I believe he has the skills required for the position. Please let me know if this works for all of you.

Is this how you are going to lead us? How can you for the first time inform the house about the nomination for a committee and end up by saying someone has indicated interest and you are asking for your approval in whatever clandestine arrangement you had with Bram? I see this as insulting our sensibilities.

When and where did Bram indicate his interest? Before you made it public to everyone? Or after? Was that the process adopted by your predecessors?

I will advise you to find out how to lead an organization as AFRALO in a democracy. This is not an autocracy and would advise you to retract your statement in reference. For this singular action, Bram should be prevented from taking part in the process of choosing our representative. Your action has exposed your integrity and compromise as a leader for all.

I have made my point and my conscience remains clear.

As usual, I won't be surprised at the chorusing of some of us looking for favours as usual in the face of abuse of office and position.

Dear All,

 

ICANN organisation Review Support and Accountability team, reached out to leadership of the ICANN Supporting Organisations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to plan for implementation of the Third Accountability and Transparency Review (ATRT3) Recommendation 3.6, to evolve Organisational Reviews into a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP).

 

I am reaching out to you today to inform you of the attached proposed Terms of Reference for a CIP Community Coordination Group and a full letter from ICANN Review Support and Accountability team. ICANN org proposes the formation of a CIP-CCG to convene in December 2023, with the goal of developing a framework for implementation of ATRT3 Recommendation 3.6.

We are looking for one representative from AFRALO with familiarity with Organisational Reviews, but also representatives with knowledge of continuous improvement work outside of ICANN. Those that can contribute new and innovative ideas for improving the effectiveness and the accountability of the different ICANN structures. There is the importance of striking a balance between representatives with deep ICANN experience, and those that bring new perspectives.

 

Bram has expressed interest in the position and I believe he has the skills required for the position. Please let me know if this works for all of you.

 

Thank you

Hadia Elminiawi

AFRALO Chair
