>From the Chair's Desk
Mohamed El Bashir, AFRALO Chair
Welcome to AFRALO Newsletter 1st Volume, It's a new dawn!
I most sincerely welcome everyone to this new dawn of the maiden edition of
the AFRALO newsletter.
I am excited that what started like mere suggestion is now coming into
fruition and thereby positioning AFRALO to join the league of RALOs with
their own newsletter. I thank all those who volunteered to make this
happen.
This is a new dawn looking back from where we were coming from, following
AFRALO's successful election of new leadership team to be led by Seun
Ojedeji ( incoming Chair) and Aziz Hilali ( incoming Vice Chair). I do
appreciate the role and support of Fatimata Seye Sylla (outgoing Vice
Chair), Let me once again congratulate all the newly elected members and
seek their support moving forward for the incoming leadership as we
continue to grow AFRALO members and activities.
I write this with nostalgia, given that this is my first and probably the
last as the Editor-in-Chief of this new AFRALO Newsletter, but definitely
not going to be my last in terms of contributions to the growth and
sustenance of AFRALO and ICANN community.
I must at this juncture express our gratitude to ALAC leadership and
At-Large community members who stood by AFRALO delegates to the Third
At-Large Summit (ATLAS III), to ensure that we make good use of this
opportunity, using their contacts and time.
Special Thanks to Leadership, ICANN staff and particularly the At-Large
support staff Heidi, Gisella, Silvia, Evin, Yesim), the Travel Team and
ICANN Africa Engagement Team led by the Vice President, Global Stakeholder
Engagement, Mr. Pierre Dandjinou. We can only pray and urge you and team to
continue to pilot the engagement train so as to sustain the tempo so far.
For our ATLAS III Ambassadors, especially those who eventually succeeded in
getting the Canadian visa, despite all the hiccups; we are looking forward
to your active participation in ATLAS III and ICANN meeting in Montreal. We
must make good use of this opportunity so as to encourage others starting
from taking the sessions seriously as a number of activities have been well
lined up including the plenary on Monday with focus on “Thought and Change
Leadership” and a session on ‘Effective Communication’ with a number of
breakout sessions, to name a few.
Above all, network with peers and the wider ICANN community, it offers
extra-opportunity to learn firsthand and I am sure that by the time ICANN66
and ATLAS III will be over, there will be light at the end of the tunnel,
for us as individuals and Africa as a continent.
Also central is the AFRALO monthly calls, which I think we must continue to
be an open forum to share ideas of activities in our region and coordinate
our RALO activities. Our active participation in the multistakeholder
engagements within the ICANN community is important and valuable, so
please continue to be active and engaged.
I would like to welcome Ihab Osman and Mandla Msimang, the newly selected
African members to the ICANN Board of Directors, we are looking forward to
work with you and wish you the best in your new roles.I wish everyone,
especially those traveling to Montreal for ICANN66 and very importantly to
us, the ATLAS III, a safe trip and active participation.
Lastly we lost one of the African Internet industry finest, Dr. Tarek Kamel
(1962-2019) may his soul rest in peace, He was a true African Internet
Pioneer.
Enjoy this new dawn!

AFRALO Secretariat Update: ATLAS III
The At-Large Summit (ATLAS III) is the third gathering of the
representatives of Internet end-users participating in the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) activities.
In the activities leading to this stage, which is part of the 66th ICANN
International Meeting

At-Large Organization (AFRALO)

would
be well represented.
Noteworthy is that the selection process was divided into two parts; namely
the assessment to ascertain membership of At-Large; a series of compulsory
courses about ICANN and what it does; and already an active member within
At-Large or in another section of ICANN, on behalf of At-Large.
Out of the 55 selected At-Large members, AFRALO got 19 slots and here we
present to you these ambassadors who would make us proud at ICANN66 during
the ATLAS III:

The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) recently ratified the following
statement:
Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-azR0oCauH316NBGsPvS2Tv5ah70jvFN_3KjPa6xdAxCBD-ph-Z-GzdJyyBAv7-hkLteZ0swo6zcOhcNA9rK9HfeiWvB-XtdPkQ_IHyWVqBxLSa--xF_jugT80RGIrOUIB06wly4c5-X-zgCXJADM96bQfWhju9rQ3yIVHEMwniMg==&c=zklDdfGiCYvAsw0-PzUT-Mj26Z-sgdVMErEedJvsZ8eaboCB2m5NWQ==&ch=tToydFW_kOZFcyQajtkzoNSOp8AiQXM4x62WZZ90cNnRMftRyZf-Jw==>
The ALAC summarized its comments as follows:
I. Strengthen ICANN’s bottom-up multistakeholder decision-making process
and ensure that work gets done and policies are developed in an effective
and timely manner.
- Issue 1: Prioritization of work. ALAC feels this must be addressed
(Category A). Some suggestions include: spreading the workload, increased
outreach (ATLAS III, further incentives to keep contributing volunteers,
adequate knowledge and resources (specified in II) The entire
community,as well as ICANN.org
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-azR0oCauH31ztWOWoMYL8OpcwDKriGrpqYREQIlNNjbV91DCI1a4EZ50uv_lqO9Zxncn1Lj1K2Ts3cgb4YYkl1-a65LCdkQp8=&c=zklDdfGiCYvAsw0-PzUT-Mj26Z-sgdVMErEedJvsZ8eaboCB2m5NWQ==&ch=tToydFW_kOZFcyQajtkzoNSOp8AiQXM4x62WZZ90cNnRMftRyZf-Jw==>
must
contribute to the resolution of this problem.
- Issue 2: Precision in scoping the work. This issue may fall into
Category A - must be addressed - or Category B -- might be partially
addressed in current processes. We foresee scoping that is tight and smart
and relevant to the process. It is impossible to say who should be
responsible when so much activity around it is unresolved.
- Issue 3: Efficient use of resources. This is a category A issue which
must be addressed. We recognize that it might be partially addressed by
current processes but cannot assess the situation until these processes are
completed. We are concerned that PDP 3.0 may offer efficiency at the cost
of inclusiveness which we feel would be a backwards step in the evolution
of ICANN’s MSM.
- Issue 4: Roles and responsibilities and a holistic view of ICANN. This
is a category A issue although it will require further processes to
resolve. ALAC seeks a bottom-up review of roles and responsibilities as an
independent process.
II. Support and grow active, informed and effective stakeholder
participation.
Strategies to expand the concept of participation are offered as well as
various resources and support needed to ensure informed participation. We
consider this to be a Category A issue -- the model cannot evolve if it is
not addressed. This is a major concern for At Large and other
volunteer-based constituencies and all will need to be involved in
addressing it. Support from ICANN,org and the Board will be necessary.
- Issue 5: Representativeness and inclusiveness. Mentorship programs are
a key part of ensuring that the MSM system remains representative and
inclusive. Relevant constituencies as well as staff need to make sure these
programs are working as they are intended and that they are reaching the
right demographics. Inclusiveness at the leadership level needs to be
improved through a bottom up process with staff assistance.
III. Sustain and improve openness, inclusivity, accountability and
transparency.
- Issue 6: Culture, trust and silos. This is a category A issue that
needs to be addressed in this process. All constituencies need to reach
across their boundaries, respect for other viewpoints must be reinforced.
This is a problem in many large organizations and there are
professional services
available to help build trust and cooperation. By engaging some of these
services, ICANN.org
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-azR0oCauH31ztWOWoMYL8OpcwDKriGrpqYREQIlNNjbV91DCI1a4EZ50uv_lqO9Zxncn1Lj1K2Ts3cgb4YYkl1-a65LCdkQp8=&c=zklDdfGiCYvAsw0-PzUT-Mj26Z-sgdVMErEedJvsZ8eaboCB2m5NWQ==&ch=tToydFW_kOZFcyQajtkzoNSOp8AiQXM4x62WZZ90cNnRMftRyZf-Jw==>
could
help constituencies build a better working environment.
- Issue 7: Complexity. This is an inherent feature of ICANN work, but
where it can be alleviated, ICANN.org
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-azR0oCauH31ztWOWoMYL8OpcwDKriGrpqYREQIlNNjbV91DCI1a4EZ50uv_lqO9Zxncn1Lj1K2Ts3cgb4YYkl1-a65LCdkQp8=&c=zklDdfGiCYvAsw0-PzUT-Mj26Z-sgdVMErEedJvsZ8eaboCB2m5NWQ==&ch=tToydFW_kOZFcyQajtkzoNSOp8AiQXM4x62WZZ90cNnRMftRyZf-Jw==>
should
take the lead. Make sure information such as the website is well organized
and understandable and closely monitor the internet governance environment
for issues that will impact ICANN directly.
- Issue 8: Consensus. Creating conditions that would facilitate
consensus is the goal of the issues already listed. Preserving the voice of
end users in the decision-making processes is crucial to ICANN’s MSM model
-- a Category A issue in which all parties play a role but the role of the
Board will be particularly important.

Equally, we have also had an opportunity, together with you, the
community, to review the strategy severally to keep it aligned with
changing needs and realities at ICANN. Our Africa strategy thus remains a
living document, and we are looking forward to the next iteration to review
and realign it with the current ICANN org 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. In this
regard, we look forward to a continued and even deeper collaboration with
Afralo leadership and team as a whole to make this a reality. Thank you and
congratulation once more.
