Dear Tijani and All,

I am happy that we received two new candidates willing to take the lead and work with the community.

My proposal would be to accept the new candidates

Layel Jabrane and
Amine Hacha

Let us give them the chance to be fully responsible as co-chairs. At the end of the day you and others who are more experienced will be always there to support them if needed

Kind regards

Hadia

Subject: [ME ICANN] Leadership renewal

Dear ME Space community,

The nomination period for the new ME Space leadership closed this morning at 00:00.

3 nominees volunteered to lead the ME Space:

Layel Jabrane
Abdelmonem Galila
Amine Hacha

Our Charter stipulates that the leadership is composed of 2 co-chairs, but last time, we accepted till 4 assuming that this will encourage those volunteers to be more involved and more committed

This year we received 3 very good candidates, and I would propose to accept them all even if Amine didn’t fulfil one of the eligibility criteria (having been at least once on the drafting team), but I believe he will be a good support for the team and will commit more during his term.

Of course, we won’t need a selection committee since there are not a big number of nominees from which the committee is supposed to select.

So my proposal is to accept the 3 nominees to constitute the ME Space leadership led by Abdelmonem who accumulated the experience of several years as co-chair and who was the effective chair for the last period.

This is a consensus call. If during the upcoming week (till 2 December 2022 at 23:59 UTC) none objects to this proposal, Abdelmonem, Layel and Amine will be declared the new co-chairs of the ME Space for 2023 and 2024.

Best regards

Tijani BEN JEMAA
Outgoing ME Space Co-Chair
