[rpd] [AFRINIC-Announce] Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat for the NRO NC elections

[Taiwo Oyewande]

I must say. I got the same message from the email and i was highly disappointed at such message on the mailing list. It is unethical atleast. I am interested in knowing what the co-chairs have to say about such somewhat deplorable act. 

With this, i will like to wish all contesting  candidates well. And as the saying goes “ may the best candidate win”

Taiwo.

>> As you are aware, I was nominated and elected overwhelmingly during the Nairobi AIS back in 2017 by the community as a community representative to the NRO-NC commonly referred to as ICANN ASO-AC. In the past two and half years, myself and my colleagues have diligently represented the AfriNIC community as council members of the ASO through attendance of several monthly online meetings and contributed to partinent discussions concerning the Address Support Organization from the selection of ASO-AC representatives to the ICANN board, the IANA Numbering Services Report etc.

>> To this end, community members again supported my nomination to represent the community at the NRO-NC and while I thank those community members who have continued to believe in me and wished that I continue representing the community in this role after the end of my current term in December 2020, I have made a decision to withdraw so that others who have showed interest to serve the community at the ICANN NRO-NC, can also do so.

>> I would like to note that It's important that we as a community continue to support diverse representation within our community and I wish to extend my full support to Janvier Ngnoulaye from Cameroon, who is bilingual and wish him the best of luck in the upcoming NRO-NC elections. 

>> 

>> I would like to take this opportunity to thank this great community and the team at AfriNIC for the support in the past years.

>> Cheers,
