Alice,

We will raise the issue of total inclusion of all constituencies/SO/ACs at next teleconference with ICANN to resolve; we did the same to add the current 5 regional/constituency reps

In the meantime Pierre has solicited assistance from Waudu to reach out to business and would recommend we do the same for Rafik for ncuc

Currently in a formal sense we don't have Alac nor ccnso either but we have afralo and aftld representation instead.  

When ICANN receives our report a new process starts and may be the appropriate time to solve these nuances

Regards
Nii
