[Arsène Tungali]

Dear Mamadou,

Thank you very much for nominating me for the GNSO Council, it is an honor you considered me to run for this seat. I would like to accept this nomination and take it as a challenge.

I would like to thank those who have shown support, it is really appreciated. I am honored to be the only one from Africa so far and i encourage more people to nominate themselves so that we have a chance and the opportunity to chose from a large pool of candidates.

I will send more details in the next few days, at the appropriate time on this list.

Regards,
Arsene
