Dear Mr. Dabee Thank you sincerely for your clear communication and for the efforts to uphold transparency and integrity throughout the AFRINIC electoral process. As a young member of the Internet community from Morocco, I truly appreciate your dedication to ensuring fairness and inclusiveness, especially in such a critical moment.
While I am still early in my journey and do not yet feel I have the experience to serve on the Nominations Committee myself, I would like to gently express the hope that this upcoming phase might welcome new faces and fresh voices—beyond the usual participants. A little change, guided by wisdom and fairness, could enrich AFRINIC’s future and reflect the diversity of our vibrant continent. Thank you once again for your trust in the community, and I look forward to staying engaged and learning more through this important process.
