<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Dear Pastor Peters, all, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">I hope this email finds you well. Seun has already responded to most of the questions but let me just add a little bit more information as you requested.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">During our last AFRALO monthly call last week (attended by 35 people), the issue was brought up again, as Aziz informed us that Alan Greenberg (ALAC Chair) had written to him and referred to the At-Large Review and the need for all RALOs to allow individual unaffiliated members. The At-Large community was against some of the recommendations made by the review, among which include the Empowered Membership Model. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">As you can see, this is not just in AFRALO but the other RALOs as well. Some of the RALOs already accept unaffiliated members. The recording of the last call has been posted in English and French here <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/AFRALO/2017-07-12+AFRALO+Monthly+Teleconference">https://community.icann.org/display/AFRALO/2017-07-12+AFRALO+Monthly+Teleconference</a>. Also, during the call, the recommendation could have easily passed but some members felt that those not in attendance that day needed to be given an opportunity to have an input. From the responses, I don't think a vote would change results that much. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Please also see the RALO response on the At-Large review <a href="https://atlarge.icann.org/pt/advice_statements/9975">https://atlarge.icann.org/pt/advice_statements/9975</a> and note that all RALOs support the idea. A ratification vote was also conducted and notice that there is very little [or even no] objection. In addition to this, AFRALO developed a statement <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/hilali-to-icann-15mar17-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/hilali-to-icann-15mar17-en.pdf</a> on the same and input was sought from the mailing list. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Regarding why individual members will not have voting rights, since this is something new, it was decided that we start out like this but then review the idea after 2 years. At that point, members may decide if they want to give individual members voting powers as well. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">I hope this information will suffice.
