Hello All,
As a NomCom 2014 member, I certify that Africa had 9 candidates over 58,
- 8 applied for the Board
- 8 for GNSO
- 6 for ccNSO
- 0 for ALAC as there were no ALAC position open for Africa this year
You can see that many applied for 2 to 3 positions.
I participated in the entire selection process and it was done in a very
fair way. African candidates had a lot of potential but this time, they
were not selected because they were not the best.
I will recommend that all of us start as soon as possible outreach
activities to have more African candidates for 2015.
I will make sure you get the information and I would even suggest that we
create a small task force within AFRALO for that purpose.
Thanks for your understanding and support for more African representation
in 2015.
Best regards,
Fatimata
