I see it as unfortunate that both ICANN board members from the Africa region in 
this
ICANN NomCom selection come from North Africa.

I see it as loss of geographic diversity as well as loss of diversity in 
community
representation in this selection and in the resulting ICANN Board 
representation.

I do not blame this on North Africa,  the rest of Africa simply needs to push 
for and
move forward into occupying such positions and NomCom needs to look out for such
disparities.  

It is my hope that this unfortunate ICANN Board distribution is not because 
there were
no good applicants from the rest of Africa, did the ICANN NomCom fail to 
attract good
enough candidates from the rest of Africa?
