[afnog] Re: AFTLD nomination of liaison to ccNSO Council

[Dr Paulos Nyirenda]

Nii,

Thanks for stepping forward. It would be great if you could suggest a way forward 
that is acceptable under AFTLD on this nomination.

The commitment of AFTLD is indeed needed for it to provide adequate representation 
of Africa on such issues as the ccNSO. The currently initiated ccPDP will need 
coordinated input from Africa and we need a functional AFTLD for this and other 
activities.

I am copying this to AFNOG as you suggested. I would like to hear from the AFNOG 
establishment if this is ok with AFNOG. 

Regards,

Paulos
