[AFRI-Discuss] REview of the AFRALO Operating Principles

Hello Fatimata and all,

Fatima proposals deserves attention. However, it seems to me that we had at
the time to discuss about individual membership. Is it possible that the AFRALO
secretariat gives us the results of these exchanges and the culmination of
these discussions!

Regarding the vote, the proposal of Fatima can be a point of discussion. It
is relevant but it will take into account certain parameters including the
activities of ALs at local level, the linguistic problem, the multiplicity of
the information requested to be answered ...... and also professional
problems for some.

Regarding the performance, again we must be careful and as Fatima suggests,
we must refer to the ALAC indicators but also conduct a systemic investigation
to ascertain why this ALs is not performing at AFRALO or ICANN. There may be
justifications.

That ultimately when there is no compelling reason, then we can decide on
the withdrawal of certification and that at the next general meeting.

I have a supplementary reading by asking the following question: What are
the motivations for active Als?
