So ICANN’s diversity is measured in degrees of “blackness”? Are we stuck in some kind of time warp and gone back to the 19th century?

My academic training seems to agree with this observation. I remember my interest in ICANN was actually provoked by the days when Alice, Katim et al were on the board. Without doubting the capability of the incoming members, it is important that Nomcom takes the issue racial diversity alot more seriously. After all, that is WHY ICANN is trying to be as 'international' as it can get. Why not begin at the top? walu. ________________________________ From: Mike Silber <[email protected]> To: Dr Paulos B Nyirenda <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; AfrICANN Community List <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 3:50 PM Subject: Re: [members-discuss] [SPAM] Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee Announces Selections - unfortunate Africa d Paulos > On 31 Aug 2016, at 14:38, Dr Paulos B Nyirenda > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > This does not reduce how glaringly > disparate the observed situation is and no one in this discussion is > challenging the > observation. > I will challenge that observation. I suspect you are affirming the consequent, a logical fallacy that surprises me in an academic such as yourself.
