I really buy into the idea of putting forward one or two candidates with full support (100%) of African members.

That could be for the future opening though.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>I slightly disagreed that putting forward another candidate would connote we are not satisfied with Ines work.

Elections will be held soon and nomination period is already open, so I think it could be good that we share a common vision or talk with the same voice. Firstly, Africa members should try to have at most 1 or two candidates to maximize his/her chance to be elected and we should all stand behind.</div><div><br></div><div>For this election period, I personaly think it would be wise to let Ines stand for the second sun of her term, however; having Yolanda as an alternate solution is also a good choice. Changing Ines just right may let people from other continent think that we have disagreement on how she has been working so far or we are very united.</div><div><br></div><div>For the NCUC chair position, I don't know whether somebody within our communty is intending to apply for, otherwise I would like to suggest that we support Renata since she is very sensible to Internet issues in Africa and for south to south collaboration it would be a good thing to have her by our side, at least by now. Therefore, I encourage us to endorse Ines fo her second run (if she still wants to) while Yolanda is a good sucessor, and Renata for the position of NCUC chair. It is only a suggestion, anyone can come with another vision but don't get me wrong: the purpose of my e-mail is to suggest we talk with the same voice as much as possible.</div></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div class="m_-7101803859972591219m_5100308233777576421m_-952678613401193473m_2752674692531552968gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Regards<div><div>@__f_f__</div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/farellf" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/fa<wbr>rellf</a> <br></div></div></div></div>
