[AFRI-Discuss] Stepping down as ALAC Member

[Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong]

Dear Sarah,

You have been one of the greatest family member of AFRALO  I have worked
with since ICANN55 and you still my coach on AFRALO secretary.

However, I am also very happy about what you have achieved inside ICANN
ecosystem.
We are sad to know that someone great like you is leaving ATlarge community
. But, we do understand that you also have your own plans in life.

   Wishing you the best in your future!   Sincerely,

> attending each monthly call and have contributed to policy processes in our
> region and beyond. Our digital infrastructure in Africa has also improved a
> lot! There is so much more we can do but we have grown and we have
> progressed.

> navigating a particular city looking for halal food, and being served one
> whole lamb per table in Morocco (😳 can you believe it?). These experiences
> allowed us to laugh about getting lost and our indecision, they allowed us
> to bond and chat about our families/professional lives beyond ICANN.

> I will always remain part of this community. Who knows where we might run
> into each other next? Until then, thank you so much, merci beaucoup!
