The politics that take place within ICANN and communities cannot be given a blind-eye because those who are denied opportunity and support will never participate and contribute at expected levels. So, it is my goal to understand the decision-making process that takes place at NCUC EC as it is good to have battles on principles and avoid personal fights, for instance, I believe opportunities should be shared not amongst membership not earmarked for specific few members or committees, for whatever reasons, community ABRs should be more open for regional and membership applications and so should CROP.<span></span></span></p>

I intend to attempt changing the narrative that Africans cannot do anything by themselves because I do not and will never subscribe to that notion. I intend to continue collaborating and working with regional members to tackle regional issues and challenges, irrespective of the outcome of NCUC elections because only a few regional members are able to contribute and participate in community activities. Your vote will be appreciated to enabling development and execution of alternative strategies for the benefit of NCUC and the African region, including respective community and regional demands, thank you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thato Mfikwe</p><p>Linked in: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/royden-thato-mfikwe-97498746">https://www.linkedin.com/in/royden-thato-mfikwe-97498746</a></p>

The EC’s responsibilities are administrative management, in-reach and outreach, and interfacing with ICANN’s staff and community as needed. NCUC Chair has also several duties and roles to fulfil. If you think that you or someone you know would be well suited to the tasks involved, then please consider nominating accordingly.<br>
