Pushing African content at this moment is a very critical phase in Africa's rise to join the on-going tech revolution. Together with 40 young journalits, we decided to create Afrotribune. I was created in June 2017.

I have met people involved in this constituency and believe that I can join them in their efforts to represent the end users interest.

I believe there is no conflict between commercial interests and human rights. I value commercially winning but only with integrity. I would not do anything to violate these principles. I always maintain independent professional judgment in my career. When I speak personally at ICANN, I will look out for the interests of the underdog. I can properly balance my commercial roles and personal participation.
