Hi

Considering Emmanuels response, I think we should approve Afrotribune.

Hello Farnazeh.
Thank you for the mail. It's nice to reconnect with you.
I have been observing your work and your vital contributions to ICANN and
the internet governance as a whole. It is really impressive and I
appreciate your humility and determination :).
Concerning Afrotribune and the nature of its activity:
Forget the LLC mentioned under the signature of the membership application
mail. This was the form that Afrotribune initially had in the US Before my
return to Africa. But it was dissolved a year ago.
Afrotribune currently operates in Africa as a non-for-profit organization
with headquarters in Accra, Ghana and also registered as a civil society
organization in Togo.
Afrotribune currently has 47 active members composed of journalists,
researchers, computer scientists, academics and political analysts.
Beyond the work of producing African content (Articles, Videos, Images) to
enrich the Web with positive contents on Africa, we also participate in the
debates on Internet governance including in the development of public
policy and research work in the field of internet governance. We also
provide policymakers especially the government with advice and expert
views.  We participated in ICANN's DNS Africa Research as an organization
and also GISWatch report 2017 and 2018.
We also contribute to several guest posts/Campaigns and petitions with
other sister organizations like APC in recent months.
I would like to be the official representative of the Afrotribune at NCSG.
I hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Emmanuel
