Dear AfriNIC Community,<br>
<br>
Alsalam Alikom (?????? ?????)<br>
<br>
I would like to thanks the AFRINIC Community for giving me the opportunity to serve as PDWG Co-chair since the AfriNIC meeting held on November 2015. Since that, we engaged in fruitful discussions to further enhance the way AFRINIC manage Internet resources. Through those discussions, we sometimes reached consensus to move with the policy proposal forward to ratification, while for other proposals the community prefer to keep the status quo policies. We experienced particular circumstances were the view of the community is not clear and it?s so difficult to make a decision to satisfy all views. However, we strongly believe in the PDP process itself to approve the most needed proposals.<br>
<br>
At this stage I would like leave the position as Co-Chair and engage more in policy development and discussion. I believe the circulation of the Co-Chair position is so healthy to the process. I believe also this is the perfect time to bring new chair, so the handover will be smooth while there is an experience chair (My Current Co-chair) in place for another year, and my term will be completed normally during the next meeting in May 2018.<br>
<br>
I would like to thank Seun Ojedeji, Adewole Ajao, and Ernest Byaruhanga and the AFRINIC staff and the community at large for the support I received during my tenure, and I commit to continue server the community in any other tasks may assigned to me.<br>
<br>

I understand that serving as PDWG co-Chair has not been an easy job<br>
as I have seen the discussions from the floor and on the mailing<br>

Modulo one particularly bad call, I?d agree.<br>
<br>
I understand that the job isn?t a particularly easy one. It?s a job I?ve done, albeit in an environment<br>
where it?s not nearly as difficult. (This is one area where I will grant those that claim that Africa<br>
poses unique challenges.)<br>
<br>
I am, despite all that has happened in recent history, sorry to see Sami resign.<br>
<br>
Nonetheless, I hope that future co-chairs can learn from this event and realize that in a case where<br>
you find it difficult to gauge rough consensus, perhaps the better part of valor is to declare that what<br>
consensus may exist is too rough to be called rough consensus.<br>
<br>
In any case, Sami, this was never personal and I have tremendous gratitude for your service and<br>
respect for the tough job that you did for the community. I wish you the best in your future<br>
endeavors.<br>
<br>
