Hi Mohamed
 I wish we had the luxury of more time. Since the election, the AFRALO
nomination has been the focus of many discussions among the ALAC and
ALT+. This has resulted in the second nomination being forthcoming. 
  
 The main concerns were:  a) Lack of experience and knowledge of the
requirements and expectations of Leadership of At-Large and the wider
ICANN community;
b) Lack of adherence to ICANN's Code of conduct and of some core
values of At-Large;
c) Lack of identification as a member of At-Large as noted in a public
comment he made during the DoH/DoT session in Marrakech where he
introduced himself as "representing NCUC" with no mention of
At-Large  

 The ALAC Rules of Procedure state:
 18.5 ALAC Representatives to the ICANN Nominating Committee, one from
each ICANN region, will be selected by the ALAC in consultation with
the RALOs.

 This will not be the first time that the ALAC has rejected a
recommendation by a RALO and made their own selection.  
 The announcement notifying the ALAC about the vote will go out
tomorrow.

   Hi Maureen,  
 I am aware that you have talked with Tijani about AfRALO Nomcom
selection with Tijani in Marrakech and I was waiting for your email. 
 AfRALO Nomcom election result was announced since some time I would
expect ALAC to raise any issues earlier when the election results were
announced, not very late in the process beside also not indicating the
reasons of such position. 
 Although Hadia is a good candidate, we can’t accept an appointment
by ALAC without giving the RALO a chance to propose another candidate,
we need to follow AfRALO process in our selection, 80% of AfRALO
members have participated the recent elections and selected their
appointees. 
 I will update and consult with the RALO leadership team about your
request and update you with our position, expect to get another name
in the coming 2 weeks as maximum.   
  Kind Regards, Mohamed

Dear Mohamed
 After discussing the NomCom candidate proposed by AFRALO with several
of my ALAC members, I regret to inform you that although there will be
a formal ALAC vote during the next couple of days on his nomination,
informally there was little support for the nomination of Abdulkarim
for this position.  
 I raised this with Tijani when we were in Marrakesh, and asked that
the AFRALO leadership team look into another candidate who might be
more acceptable. 
 Because the ALAC is also entitled to propose someone if no other
contender is brought to our attention, another recommendation has been
made whom I know would get absolute support from the ALAC.  Hadia
Elminiawi has accepted to take on this role. At the same time she
will continue with her EPDP activities, as well as support other CPWG
and outreach and engagement activities.  
 I hope that this recommendation meets with your approval. I know that
Hadia would be a great representative from AFRALO as she has been
during her term on the ALAC. 
 Regards Maureen
