Cancellation of the Meeting AFRALO/AfrICANN of Toronto
by Aziz Hilali Oct. 4, 2012

Oct. 4, 2012

Dear colleagues, As you know, we started thinking about the theme to be addressed during our next AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting in Toronto since one month (see my mail dated on Thursday, September 6). Several proposals have been done and the most supported one was “creation of an ICANN fund for the developing countries”. A drafting team has been established and we started working on the first draft of the statement. In the meantime, the Working Group on the ICANN African Strategy (ASWG) released its report and put it for comment by the African community; the report, after inclusion of the received comments, will be presented on Monday 15 October from 15:00 to 16:30 in Toronto. The creation of an ICANN fund for the developing countries was one of the report recommendations. As we progress in drafting the statement, we realized that we will speak about a subject that will be addressed on Monday with the same audience. We felt it boring for the participants to hear and speak about the same subject twice, and it will be difficult to make an interesting statement. This issue has been on the Agenda of the AFRALO call yesterday and the participants in the teleconference decided to cancel the AFRALO AfrICANN meeting planned for Wednesday 17 October. Therefore, I would like to inform you that the AFRALO AfrICANN joint meeting of Toronto, is canceled. Best Regards Aziz Hilali Chers collègues, Comme vous le savez, nous avions commencé à réfléchir sur le thème à débattre pendant notre réunion conjointe AFRALO AfrICANN à Toronto depuis un mois (voir mon mail du jeudi 6 Septembre). Plusieurs propositions ont été mises sur la table, et celle qui a eu le plus de soutien était « création d’un fonds ICANN pour les pays en développement ». Une équipe de rédaction de la déclaration a été formée, et nous avions commencé à travailler sur la première mouture. Pendant ce temps, le Groupe de travail sur la Stratégie Africaine d’ICANN (ASWG) a publié son rapport, demandant à la communauté Africaine de le commenter. Ce rapport, après inclusion des remarques reçues, sera présenté le Lundi 15 Octobre 2012 de 15:00 à 16:30 à Toronto. La création d’un fonds ICANN pour les pays en développement est l’une des recommandations du dit rapport. Au fur et à mesure que nous progressons, nous avons réalisé que nous allons parler d’un sujet qui va être présenté et détaillé lundi avec la même audience. Nous avons senti qu’il va être ennuyant pour l’assistance de traiter le même sujet deux fois, et qu’il va être difficile de produire une déclaration valeureuse. Ce point était inscrit à l’ordre du jour de la téléconférence d’AFRALO tenue hier, et les participants ont décidé d’annuler la réunion AFRALO AfrICANN prévue Mercredi 17 Octobre. Au vu de cette décision, je vous informe que, la réunion conjointe AFRALO AfrICANN de Toronto est annulé.
