not deserve this. Pierre would be a very good ICANN director, a person who has
been through all the phases of ICANN development from INETs, ANSs, DCNS, IAHC,
DNSO ...., ICANN then AfNOG, AfriNIC, AfTLD, AfRALO,.., AfREN and current
coordinator of AfCERT. He has shown commitment and continuing to take on newer
responsibilities in the African technical community, well respected in
diplomatic circles having worked with UN system and deserves better. Pierre
may have skills that ICANN likely needs at this time</SPAN></DIV>

style="LETTER-SPACING: 0px">This is very bad as it makes ICANN look
manipulated, tolerating arm twisting and makes Africa look bad in doing so.
Admittedly the same DCA prevented the Africa numbers registry from teaching
Ethiopians because of one person's .africa interest in a string that is
community owned. This also shows severe weakness in African governments whose
officers got easily manipulated and thus denied themselves technical
education which DCA cannot provide, deepening the divide on the
continent.</SPAN></DIV>

community in that this was also the same person who mounted an earlier smear
campaign against an ICANN officer on guess what, same .africa and to
Ombudsman. This shows a pattern of setting up ICANN for disrepute. In this
particular case it is also setting ICANN in a collision course with the 53

now</SPAN></DIV>

Members,<BR><BR>Is this the appropriate list for an alleged "Candidate
Conflict of Interest" Letter ? Is the BCEC supposed to reply to
