Thank you for your unsolicited nomination. I am not interested. 

Making reference to any existing problem is just your imagination.  Did I have any previous issues with the immediate past chair whenever I challenged him? I have told you to stop playing to the gallery. 

Since you are one of those she listens to, why dont you act as a good adviser to her instead of coming out here to cry more than the bereaved.  AFRALO is a collection of Leaders of more than 70 ALS. We are not pupils under the Chairman.  She should weigh what she sends out to us.

She is dishing out orders without recourse to due process. No consultation.  She should be told in clear terms to step back a little.  This is her first role as chairman and already messing it up.

The Ghana that I know are not made up of praise singers. It was built  by those who opposed authoritarianism.  Go do your history.  Nkrumah will be crying in his grave today with the kind of desperate leaders that are supposed to be tomorrow leaders ready to sell their Conscience for a pot of porridge.  I expected you as one of our LEADERS in AFRALO to guide your chairman on the importance of consultation and collectivity. But you want pretend she is doing well so as to be handpicked tomorrow for another role in ICANN

Good day Raymond!

Hello Pastor Peters,

Your consistent bashing for Hadia on this issue seems to me as you are reacting based on other already exisiting problem with her, and this issue has just given you the opportunity to air it out.

Pastor Peters, please the Chair has listened to the concerns of the community to allow others to also express interest to volunteer for this exercise. This alone shows that she has taken note of the concerns. 

Once again please just tone down on your choice of words sir. In Ghana, we have a proverb that says that there is a way to tell someone with a big head that he has a big head, but because of how you put it across (choice of words and tone) the person would not know you intended insulting him, simply because your words are very polite. 

Before I conclude, I would like to nominate Pastor Peters for this exercise.

Good morning sir, Pastor Peters.

Madam Chairman. 

You re not listening. 

Why would you give a 24 hour notice? For members to vote?

Are you just new the community?

You think members stay glued to their social media 24/7

Voting should not be less than 3 days minimum.  Besides, whom are you consulting with by the way. Did you consult with your leadership team? Or even leaders of the very ALS. YOU ARE MAKING PRONOUNCEMENTS LIKE YOU ARE HANDLING YOUR PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. 

I think those who voted for Hadia should advise her to learn the rope of collective and Consultative leadership. My God!

Dear Everyone,

Further to my previous message where I asked for a representative from AFRALO to participate in the CIP Community Coordination Group, we now have three candidates:

  • Chokri Ben Romdhane
  • Adebunmi Akinbo
  • Bram Fudzulani

I will keep the call for expressions of interest open until Monday, November 27th, at 23:00 UTC. Following that, a vote will take place for a 24-hour period. Two candidates will be selected: one as the primary representative and the other as an alternate.

On a related note, please note that this announcement was shared multiple times on the ICANN Community Digest and on X (formerly Twitter). Some community members have reached out to me expressing their interest in the role based on these postings.

Best wishes to all,

Hadia Elminiawi 

Chair of AFRALO

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
