Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Statment of the joint meeting of African community
by Victor Ndonnang Sept. 23, 2014

Sept. 23, 2014

Dear Tijani, Sorry, may be I miss the points but the paragraph (iii) of the ICG charter says otherwise...https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-charter-coord… Additionally, there are many upcoming sessions to be organized by ICANN, Afrinic and others to discuss this ongoing process...This will definitely help improve broader participation and give chance to interested stakeholders to express their views and concerns moving forward. Yes, I agree with you, "Regional representation" is not clearly expressed when it comes to the composition of the ICG but when someone from Africa talk about IANA functions, it will certainly have an African perspective in mind even hi is representing a more larger community. For example, Adiel even he is representing the RIRs knows very well what is good for Africa moving forward with this process. I guess the same is true for Mohamed, Mary and Manel.... Just trying to understand where the problem is with the so called "balanced representation"... Thank you for your understanding. I wonder what others think. Thank you, Victor. ************ Victor Ndonnang https://twitter.com/VictorNdonnang ~Sent from my iPhone~ > On Sep 22, 2014, at 6:54 PM, "Tijani BEN JEMAA" <tijani.benjemaa(a)planet.tn> wrote: > > Victor, > > The mechanisms to ensure participation from all interested stakeholders are now well defined in the charter and the RFP.

As for Africans on IGC, we have some including Mohamed El Bashir, the AFRALO Vice Chair who was elected Vice Chair of the ICG. With Mohamed, we have Adiel, Manel Ismail (GAC), and I think Mary Uduma (ccNSO). This is not an exhaustive list, but just those who I remember. I don’t think we have to complain because we are not represented: as I said, no region is represented. Mohamed is reporting regularly to ALAC since he was appointed by ALAC, Adiel is reporting to AFRINIC list, and I’m sure the others are doing so with their constituencies. > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tijani BEN JEMAA > Executive Director > Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) > Phone: + 216 41 649 605 > Mobile: + 216 98 330 114 > Fax: + 216 70 853 376 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > De : Victor Ndonnang [mailto:ndonnang@nvconsulting.biz] > Envoyé : lundi 22 septembre 2014 17:46 > À : <tijani.benjemaa(a)planet.tn> > Cc : Aziz Hilali; ALAC Afrique > Objet : Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Statment of the joint meeting of African community > > Hi Tijani, > I think "composition of the ICG" and "mechanisms to ensure participation from all interested stakeholders" are two different things.

Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Statment of the joint meeting of African community
by Seun Ojedeji Sept. 23, 2014

Sept. 23, 2014

Hello all, First it's a +1 from me on Victor's first suggestion of updating the theme to reflect that fact that it's an oversight transition. On your second point @Victor I think I understand your view which is simply saying "...why mention it when the deed has been done" this also came up during the drafting and just like Tijani has said, the motive behind the inclusion is not to change the composition but rather to ensure that the imbalance nature of the ICG does not influence decision making within the group. Kind regards sent from Google nexus 4 kindly excuse brevity and typos.

Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Statment of the joint meeting of African community
by Victor Ndonnang Sept. 22, 2014

Sept. 22, 2014

Hi Tijani, I think "composition of the ICG" and "mechanisms to ensure participation from all interested stakeholders" are two different things. The first one is done but the second one is not done yet. There was a long discussion during the first meeting of the ICG on the "balanced composition" which ended by granting 5 seats to the GAC... I wonder where was the African community at that time...I think we should express regrets and "delayed views" on something that started without us but not on something that started with us. This is my personal view. On the second issue, I believe improvements can be made moving forward. Mechanisms to ensure inputs and participation from all interested stakeholders can be improved until the end of the process. And we should propose concrete solutions to do so rather than just saying it. I think we should try to answer the following questions and propose ways to improvement: - are there some interested stakeholders from Africa willing to participate in the process but who simple can't because of lack of understanding and means to support their participation? If yes, how can we or ICANN improve that? - African members of the ICG are not representing enough the views and concerns of the African Internet community? Are they interacting enough with the communities they represented? -etc The work of the ICG is to coordinate and not to do the entire work by itself; based on that we can always make your views heard (if any) even if we don't have a "representative" in the ICG. I just trying to make our declaration useful... Once again those views are personal views which can differ with the views of the African community.
