<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">Thanks for the call for nominations for co-chair of the IYRP GCG. I would like to nominate Dr Igshaan Samnuels from South Africa
</span><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">as your co-chair.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">Igshaan is a researcher on rangeland ecology and management for the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) in South Africa. He holds a PhD in Botany from the University of Cape Town and has worked in arid
agricultural landscapes for 19 years. His research puts him in touch with grassroots activities and the challenges of pastoralists, particularly the indigenous Nama peoples of South Africa. He is the current president of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa
(GSSA), having served in this position and other GSSA portfolios previously. He is also on the International Rangeland Congress (IRC) Continuing Committee representing Africa south of the Sahara. Furthermore, he is part of the core leadership team of the IYRP
RISG for Eastern and Southern Africa and a member of the IYRP GCG. He has been involved in policy development at both local and national level in South Africa and is currently leading the development of the country’s rangeland management strategy. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">I have been working closely with Igshaan during the awareness-raising and advocacy activities leading up to the approval of the IYRP 2026. He has devoted a great deal of time to these activities and has
been utterly reliable when we agreed on shared tasks. I can assure you 100%, Maryam: you will be able to depend on Igshaan in sharing the co-chair tasks!</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">I asked Igshaan about his willingness to take on the co-chair position. He discussed it with his family and with his manager in ARC, as he is aware that the tasks will take some time away from his other
professional duties and his personal life. All have supported the idea that he take on the co-chair position. He has therefore agreed to accept this nomination.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium">In my view, he would provide a perfect balance for you, Maryam, in co-chairing the GCG.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:medium"><br>
