Hello everyone,

I would like to show my support for Raymond Mamattah for his nomination As
the AFRALO representative to ALAC.

Raymond's skills set and Official prowess has been elaborated in previous
in the preceding threads. I would take a more personal approach. Raymond is
a mentor in the truest sense. From responding to my burning questions even
in the dead of night to making sure all GhanaSIG fellows are participating
meaningfully in the ecosystem. My respect for Raymond grew deeper when I
had the opportunity to participate in-person at the IGF 22 in Ethiopia.
Raymond literally walked me through every thing. In a nutshell, Raymond is
a grassroots person, he is a mentor and the kind of impact he has created
is unmatched in Ghana's Internet Governance Ecosystem. He is inspiration to
us all and I strongly belief that he is very resourceful and will fulfill
his duties diligently.
