Yes Seun, I will hold off asking to put on the website
10:17:32 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Good observation. We can wait for it to be approved
10:17:58 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
+1 to waiting till it is approved
10:18:55 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
+1 Silvia to get in the que

10:21:13 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
apologies for being late
10:22:34 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
may I speak
10:24:06 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
Welcome Daniel.
10:24:15 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
I am happy with the suggested change
10:24:21 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
I see Seun’s hand is up
10:25:17 From Seun to Everyone:
@silvia maybe we wait till after approval then
10:26:13 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
@Seun yes I shall wait then
10:27:50 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
+1 agree Seun all members include individual members, but I made this suggestion because individual members were not defined yet
10:28:01 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Provisional members are defined in the AFRALO rules approved in 2012
10:28:37 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Silvia, kindly share the link again
10:29:03 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Provisional Member.....The status of an organization which has applied for ALS status and is awaiting the accreditationdecision. No ALS applicant shall be considered a Provisional Member where AFRALO has not provided favorable regional advice on the application
10:29:07 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
Thanks Sara

10:29:24 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Rules approved in 2017 link above
10:29:45 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
See definitions section
10:30:27 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Daniel, you will go next
10:30:40 From Seun to Everyone:
there is no observer in the rop
10:30:54 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
That's correct Seun
10:30:59 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
So what do we do about the 3 observers?
10:31:13 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
The rules approved in 2017 refer to "Provisional member"
10:31:44 From Seun to Everyone:
but provisional members is defined but that is those pending membership application
10:31:56 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Correct Seun
10:32:21 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
So you need to review the definitions of provisional members and perhaps create a new category of observer
10:33:02 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Aziz, kindly share with us some historical context
10:35:20 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
Hello aziz
10:38:41 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Merci, Aziz
10:38:52 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
Its Hadia - I was putting in what Aziz was sayin
10:39:43 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Thank you Hadia for adding these comments
10:40:05 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
+1 Seun
10:41:02 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
+1 Seun adding to provisional members those interested to get involved with AFRALO
10:42:22 From Seun to Everyone:
@sarah but what I have said is not different from what Aziz has said
10:42:44 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Correct the Operating Principles will be amended in that relevant section
10:43:05 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
@Seun, you said we should mention provisional member. There are 3 kinds of members defined in the document
10:43:17 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
Under section 2
10:46:51 From Claudia Ruiz to Everyone:
No, Aziz is not on zoom
10:48:06 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
@Aziz makes sense
10:48:32 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
@Isaac and all, we have a hard stop at the top of the hour as there is another call right after this one
10:48:38 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
10 mins left
10:49:00 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA to Everyone:
allow me to drop, I have prioritisation call at the top of the hour
10:49:13 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Thanks Daniel
10:51:03 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
@ Seun agree to add others to the provisional members
10:51:07 From Sarah Kiden to Everyone:
AI for Seun to suggest edit for definition of provisional member
10:51:23 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
AI: Seun will suggest edits into the definition section of the 2017 Operating Principles document and Part II Membership
10:51:32 From Silvia Vivanco to Everyone:
Added as AI @Seun
10:51:39 From Isaac Maposa to Everyone:
@Silvia ok noted.
10:52:00 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
