AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting theme for Toronto
by Fatimata Seye Sylla 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hello All, Regarding the AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting in Toronto, the theme proposed by Mohamed Bashir on ICANN African Strategy and seconded by many of us, is a very good and timely one. However, as the ASWG is asking for inputs on the same theme, for the same period and from the same community, I don’t think it would be a good idea to run an almost parallel consultation on it. Therefore, I would like to suggest for your appreciation “*the creation of a development Fund” initiated by ICANN*, to support the developing countries’ active participation in the whole ICANN process and to facilitate their integration in the Internet domain industry . This fund could be supported by other partners and its management style would have to be defined Please provide your feed-back as soon as possible and not later than Thursday 20 September 2012 Thank you all and best regards, Fatimata -- Fatimata Seye Sylla

Levy, Matjaz Straus Istenič (of Hurricane Electric) and Mukom Tamon (of AfriNIC) was attended by local network engineers from the Internet Service Providers (ISPs), large private companies, public administration and the University of Douala. This workshop aimed to give to participants the fundamentals of the new Internet protocol IPv6, and was focused on the standard topics set by 6deploy and AfriNIC. We hope that this 2nd session will make see before the end of this year more IPv6 traffic from Cameroon. We wish to express once again our recognition and thanks to the Internet Society (www.internetsociety.org) AfriNIC (www.afrinic.net) and 6deploy (www.6deploy.eu). Our appreciation and thanks also go especially to the following people who helped directly or indirectly to the successful organization of this workshop: ·Mukom Tamon, IPv6 Principal Trainer of AfriNIC, ·Martin J. Levy of Hurricane Electric (www.he.net), ·January Zorz of go6 Institute (www.go6.si), ·Matjaz Straus Istenič Arnes (www.arnes.si), ·Officials of the University of Douala.

Thank you also for your broad-mindedness and calling it a debate, and moreover saying it is constructive. Like Dr Yassin had made a point earlier, people who ask questions or present different points of view and/or even make objections to a topic in my view should not be osterized. We certainly are closer to an understanding, to what I call groups with two "different visions" rather than "two opposition groups" Adiel of AfriNic deduced from his understanding on an earlier email. Therefore, I agree with Pierre in that we need to expand the WG to include groups or teams with different vision to make it successful for Africa. ICANN and its societies are already aware of the different visions and even the conflicts in the Africa grouping, so to pretend one group represents the vision or interest of the other, is not even genuine. If we do not solve our own problem on such issues, ICANN will be having a difficult time implementing any proposed strategy due the continues conflicts and this, as already well said would be shame for Africa in the eye of the global public. The ICANN Africa strategy is just the beginning of a journey and its legitimacy and success only depends on continuous support by all Africans, otherwise it will be just another failed strategy. I will send my thoughts on the Development Fund, Fatimata. Indeed it is interesting.

Concretely, I propose the following: 1. The creation of the Development Fund must be clearly stated in the strategy being developed in the chapter dealing with the financing. 2. Extend the members of the ASWG Experts in strategic planning and Internet Governance If we (African activists) continue to foster relationships other than professional, and to form working groups with our friends or colleagues, then we would still be ridiculous in the eyes of the world.

Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] RE: Theme of the Toronto AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting

Thanks Barrack. Lerato and all others I want to ask you all for the sake of the community lets bury the hatchet and try out an experiment. Lets listen to each other's position and seek out a mid point that moves us forward. We all make a choice to volunteer our time and effort for the community. So how about we take Toronto as the opportunity to right whatever we think went wrong without destroying all the work that was done. For ounce lets try to move forward as a community. The diversity of this community means that we will never see everything from the same viewpoint. I challenge us all to humble our selves and go to Toronto those of us who will be there with an open mind to listen to each other "seek first to understand then be understood". Then leave Toronto as one community with a shared vision on the Africa strategy. Lets make a choice to join the bus moving forward or stay outside. But as Barrack rightly says the "desktop activism" needs to stop being negative and look for constructive alternatives. Regards The best time to plant a tree is 20yrs ago The second best time is now (chinese proverb) -----Original Message----- From: africann-bounces(a)afrinic.net [mailto:africann-bounces@afrinic.net] On Behalf Of Barrack Otieno Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2012 7:03 AM To: Lerato; africann(a)afrinic.net Cc: afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org; Mohamed El Bashir Subject: Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] RE: [AFRI-Discuss] Theme of the Toronto AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting Dr Yassin and Lerato, It is my understanding there was no consensus on the "Africa Strategy" and > has been widely reported at ICANN. I would like to correct a few issues that are being ignorantly thrown around, i sat in a meeting room in Prague where this issue was being discussed and there was a call for volunteers, Lerato i would like to inform you that while i was making my submissions on behalf of the constituency i represent your boss was right opposite where i sat so do not mislead the community. In the process members of the African community themselves appointed volunteers among them to come up with a common front or strategy and i recall being tasked to be among the people doing this role, there were many people in the room but few volunteered. I also had a chance to meet the new CEO among many other Africans and indeed he was concerned about our region, what we should note is there are those who offered themselves to do the donkey work for the community. My point is as follows. If we are to move the community forwad let us be involved, desktop activism without without involvement will not get us anywhere if you miss a meeting for any reason there is remote participation we should take advantage of but activism for the sake of activism is not good i therefore urge you to take the first step and participate in the process as part of activism other than complain and point fingures. I leave you with Chinua Achebes words A man that makes trouble for others also makes trouble for himself.
