Comrades, The other day, the Americans decided they were going to put a man on the moon, not too long NASA was established for this prupose and President Kennedy went to visit. The entire staff were lined and he asked eveyone what their purpose was, one answer kept echoing and then he got to the cleaner and his answer was, "am also helping to put a man on the moon". This episode ranks very high in the school of "unity of purpose" and i beckon us to that high calling. We have an opportunity to put a man (woman) on the ICANN board again, we have done it before so may i submit that we unit around this common purpose and ensure that we dont major on the minors and minor on the majors. Here is the check, if you are about to send a post (on https://community.icann.org/display/DirCan/At-Large+Director+Candidate-Community+Forum+-+11.10?focusedCommentId=5112027&#comment-5112027 and any other forum), ask yourself, "would it help put a man (woman) on the ICANN board to represent Africa?

Waudo, In fact, seat 15 of the Board is a new Director position being filled as per a resolution of the Board. It is the At Large director position, the selection of which goes through a different process.The At large Community (ALAC) of ICANN has thus established an adhoc committee (BCEC) which oversees the process and proceed to voting. The difference here is while the NOMCOM selects other board members, the BCEC has designed its own procedures including community forum call, wiki and a vote by its 20 members. I hope this helps!

I have had to tell Eric off on some things at home, but this one, I fully agree. It is unfortunate that the DCA lady has raised a smear campaign. I am not sure it helps Africa in any way. My thought is that given the opportunities, many Africans are far better than their global counterparts. We are working under difficult conditions - political, infrastructural and social. But we still pull off great things. The Gambian gentleman, Dr Katim Touray, who also happens to be the FOSSFA Vice Chair attended the 3rd Conference on FOSS and the Digital Commons in Daka (Idlelo 3) and got hooked up with Anne Rachel Inne of ICANN. One thing led to the other and he was elected. So far, he has proved his expertise and excellence. Kenya proved this in hosting the ICANN meeting, South Africa wowed the world this year, and Kenya will also do so with the IGF next year. I believe in constructive criticism. But I choose to do it at home. It is up to us to promote our expertise. Others wont do it for Africa. Whether Pierre Dandjinou gets finally elected or not, DCA would have made a negative image of not only itself but also of the continent. When an African paints another African black on the global level, the one does not come off cleaner Really a big pity.

Hi Nnenna - just a small point of correction - your description of how Katim got selected to the ICANN Board is not correct unless I misunderstand "One thing led to the other and he was elected". However I fully agree Katim is doing a great Job and I am sure so will Pierre if he gets to the Board through the ALAC process. Best wishes Pierre.

Humm... With all due respect we need to be very careful not to use cultural norms to determine international norms. Let me explain; In Africa we use community based support systems/ merit or not, which is part of our culture to make decisions. Largely in developed markets they use personal/ individul systems/ merits to make decisions. In some cases the tribulist mentality may prevail which can be the case for ICANN. This has been alluded to in your own comment about the current director. ( no personal comment). The two options above mean and equal many different outcomes in the way we operate and do business. Plus not to mention fifdoms within the current Internet businesses/policy organizations. On point though, we do come out ahead and exceed expectations even where we have limited resources. In other areas the very limited resources are used to manipulate groups and individuals. So when well seasoned international players that we call International / Global citizens use new ways of operating we consider this an out right sell out!!! I beleive it's time we leveled the playing field through international acceptable debates and positioning for new entrants into the internet market place. My two cents...

Election over, as far is this thread is concerned. PD came a close 3rd and the next round of voting will not include his name as per the approved process.

The Gambian gentleman, Dr Katim Touray, who also happens to be the FOSSFA Vice Chair attended the 3rd Conference on FOSS and the Digital Commons in Daka (Idlelo 3) and got hooked up with Anne Rachel Inne of ICANN. One thing led to the other and he was elected. So far, he has proved his expertise and excellence.
Kenya proved this in hosting the ICANN meeting, South Africa wowed the world this year, and Kenya will also do so with the IGF next year.
I believe in constructive criticism. But I choose to do it at home. It is up to us to promote our expertise. Others wont do it for Africa.
Whether Pierre Dandjinou gets finally elected or not, DCA would have made a negative image of not only itself but also of the continent.
When an African paints another African black on the global level, the one does not come off cleaner
Really a big pity.

Election over, as far is this thread is concerned. PD came a close 3rd and the next round of voting will not include his name as per the approved process. While it is true that biz is not done on lists, the same cannot be said of Internet policy making. Rgds, mctim

Let me explain;
In Africa we use community based support systems/ merit or not, which is part of our culture to make decisions.
Largely in developed markets they use personal/ individul systems/ merits to make decisions.
In some cases the tribulist mentality may prevail which can be the case for ICANN. This has been alluded to in your own comment about the current director. ( no personal comment).
The two options above mean and equal many different outcomes in the way we operate and do business. Plus not to mention fifdoms within the current Internet businesses/policy organizations.
On point though, we do come out ahead and exceed expectations even where we have limited resources.
In other areas the very limited resources are used to manipulate groups and individuals. So when well seasoned international players that we call International / Global citizens use new ways of operating we consider this an out right sell out!!! I beleive it's time we leveled the playing field through international acceptable debates and positioning for new entrants into the internet market place.
My two cents... Still very interested in collaboration and not via mailing lists. Business is not done on mailing lists.

Inspirational words Eric but I thought the "Africa" rep on the ICANN BOard is selected by the NOMCOM. The current one is our friend from Gambia. I would be very happy to hear that Pierre is also on the Board but in my mind he would first and foremost be there for the ALAC??
I have had to tell Eric off on some things at home, but this one, I fully agree.
It is unfortunate that the DCA lady has raised a smear campaign. I am not sure it helps Africa in any way. My thought is that given the opportunities, many Africans are far better than their global counterparts.
We are working under difficult conditions - political, infrastructural and social. But we still pull off great things.
