01:04:00    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    Thanks Raymond
01:04:01    Raymond Mamattah:    We hope this email finds you well. As part of ICANN’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and accountability within the multistakeholder ecosystem, we are reaching out to verify your continued interest in receiving information from the UASG. To retain access to UASG mailing lists, you must submit your Statement of Interest (SOI) by 15 May, 2024. This practice is consistent with other groups of the ICANN community (e.g., see SOIs for GNSO, or click “New SOIs” on the left menu here.)   The SOI form is available at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/725e244f1369423182ea1bf932df6962.   If you are unable to complete your SOI by 15 May 2024 deadline, you will be unsubscribed from all UASG email lists. However, you can resubscribe at a later time by submitting your SOI.   ICANN will publicly publish the received SOIs at https://uasg.tech/member-area/.

01:41:45    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    @Raihanath GBADAMASSI we did not talk about this yet. However, my suggestion regarding the matter is to form a selection committee tasked with choosing members  based on the requirements of the meeting
01:42:59    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    @Raihanath GBADAMASSI of course I am talking about the 3 extra slots that AFRALO has been given for the meeting
01:45:18    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    Also I note that those slots are not granted to AFRALO at the expense of any other RALO. It’s just because some people cannot make it to the Kigali meeting
01:45:40    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    Therefore we should not refuse the slots
01:46:55    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Time check- we are at the top of the hour
01:47:34    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    So all speakers please kindly try to be brief /concise on your interventions
01:48:29    Remmy Nweke @DigitalSENSE AFRICA:    Therefore we should not refuse the slots
Agreed with you
01:48:40    Raymond Mamattah:    Replying to "Also I note that tho..."

This is great! I think several factors should be considered including active ALSs etc etc
01:50:26    Pastor Peters Omoragbon:    Yes why the idea of a selection committee is good,  it has its downside. One how do you select the committee. What criteria would the committee use. Who sets up those criteria.  How can you avoid favouritism.  The best solution is for a DRAW to be drawn. That is the icann staff writes the names of all als in a box and the chair of alac is called to pick three. This will be done in an open Zoom link with every camera on
01:50:27    Remmy Nweke @DigitalSENSE AFRICA:    Active members of Newsletter team too should be consider and the leadership. @Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC)

02:00:37    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    @Peterking Quaye hi
02:03:47    Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org:    The interpreters are not able to interpret Pastor Peters line, a strong echo
02:04:13    Abdulkarim Oloyede:    It says 5 African VIPs
02:04:32    Joel Okomoli:    Please scroll the statement on projection
02:05:38    Stephen Dakyi (ICANN80 Fellow):    @Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org can the link to the statement be share here..
02:06:02    Raihanath GBADAMASSI:    It is important to note that the conditions under which the vote on this pilot policy took place were not appropriate and even ALAC members were surprised.
02:06:14    Pastor Peters Omoragbon:    Waiting for the call
02:06:41    Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org:    Replying to "Waiting for the call"

Adigo dialing you, there is no answer

The French channel is off
02:08:58    Peterking Quaye:    Peterking Quaye from
Liberia here @ travel criteria for these slots are important.
02:09:12    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    @Abdulkarim Oloyede 5 slots for AFRALO members, those members will be considered VIPs
02:09:41    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    Now 3
02:10:10    Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC):    AFRALO community slots = VIP slots
02:11:34    Peterking Quaye:    6 slots in total
To the community and these will be VIPs from the community and this should be unique selection process to ensure transparency and fair process
02:12:26    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    It will be the regular 3 ALAC members from AFRALO, 3 for the RALO leaders + now three slots from the ALAC to AFRALO.
02:12:55    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    These three open slots should logically be based on their need for activity during ICANN80.
02:13:20    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    The AGM will also be the current practice
02:14:44    Stephen Dakyi (ICANN80 Fellow):    The leadership of Afralo was elected and appointed based on merit. They should be give the authority to select individuals for the VIP slot allocation.
02:14:51    Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org:    The interpreters will need to drop in 1 minute
02:14:58    Remmy Nweke @DigitalSENSE AFRICA:    Let's schedule another meeting if need be but exco should detail criteria if any for the slots and let afralo nomcom team come up.
02:15:17    Peterking Quaye:    Travel Policy is key
02:15:18    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    Agree, Hadia.
02:15:37    Abdulkarim Oloyede:    Hadia, please don't confuse the community we don't have  9 slots available.  Be clear that some are allocated already to the RALO leaders.
02:15:42    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    Let’s schedule this ASAP
02:15:49    Peterking Quaye:    Very good plus +1
02:15:53    Remmy Nweke @DigitalSENSE AFRICA:    Supported @Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC)
