Dear At-Large Staff, Thank you for the update and invitation. I would like to express my interest in joining the ALAC Small Team on the Objection Procedure for the Next Round as a new member from the AFRALO community. My background is in cybersecurity, digital safety awareness, Internet governance, and community engagement across Africa. I am particularly interested in contributing to outreach, public interest discussions, end-user protection, and awareness efforts related to the New gTLD Program and the At-Large Community. I look forward to learning from and contributing to the work of the team. Kind regards, Ibrahim Bashir Aliyu On Sun, May 10, 2026, 6:55 PM Tinuade Oguntuyi via AFRI-Discuss < afri-discuss@icann.org> wrote:
