I would like to express my interest in joining the drafting team for the ICANN86 AFRALO statement.  Having participated as a presenter during the AFRALO-AfrICANN session at ICANN85, I found the discussions particularly insightful, especially the emphasis on leveraging past statements to inform current policy processes.  I look forward to collaborating with the team.

These statements not only preserve AFRALO's institutional knowledge but also create an important feedback loop with ICANN Board, supported by ICANN staff. In addition, they capture AFRALO's positions on important and emerging topics currently under discussion within the ICANN community.    A survey conducted during the session reviewing AFRALO'S statements by topic across the years revealed that the highest number of statements (11) focused on ICANN Transparency and Accountability.  Given the ongoing community work on the Review of Reviews, and the current public comment proceeding on the standard bylaws' amendment - transition article on specific reviews. ICANN86 AFRALO-AfrICANN session could serve as an opportunity to conduct structured analysis of these 11 statements to:  - Identify gaps, lessons learned and areas where concerns remain unresolved  - Develop a consolidated AFRALO perspective on next steps for improving ICANN accountability and transparency mechanisms, taking into consideration current developments and ongoing work  - Translate the resulting analysis into a new AFRALO statement, providing timely input into the current Review of Reviews work stream  If you agree with the proposal outlined in this email and discussed during the monthly call, please reply to this email indicating your interest in joining the drafting team.  Best wishesHadia ElminiawiAFRALO chair _______________________________________________ AFRI-Discuss mailing list -- afri-discuss@icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to afri-discuss-leave@icann.org Homepage for the region: http://www.afralo.org Posting guidelines to ensure machine translations of emails sent to this list are more accurate: http://www.funredes.org/mistica/english/emec/method_emec/presentation.html#a... _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos).
