Dear Rafik,

Thanks for this, an email i was waiting for since my first time at ICANN last October in LA (ICANN51). Though There is a lot of information and links i need to go to, i wanted to thank the comitee for approving my membership request and hope to be more engaged in discussions.

Kudos to my ICANN51 fellows and collleagues also accepted today: Krishna and Shabnam.

Sending you my best wishes and blessings for this end of year from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Regards,
A
