<p style="margin-bottom: 0mm;">Dear Remmy, all,<br><br>I accept
Remmy's nomination for election as Africa Representative to
NCUC-EC.<br>Its a delightful honour that an African voice in ICANN
offered to nominate me!! <br><br>It's a tough job fighting for the
rights of non-commercial interests anywhere and everywhere.<br>But as
stated when I joined, I found truly humbling heroes at NCUC my home
at ICANN.<br><br>We have a rocky path ahead. The more things change,
the more they remain the same.<br>Money, power and control and their
manifestations continue being great threats to social justice.<br>I
seek your precious vote NCSG membership vote promising if re-elected
to redouble my efforts.<br>I shall not falter, not waiver, flinch, be
intimidated, nor be diverted from non-commercial goals.<br><br>In my
third and final term will focus on consolidating NCUC success at
elevating indigenous African voices at ICANN.<br><br>Please vote for
me.<br><br>Thank You,<br><br>Alex</p>
