Acknowledged Can we look at "Afralo outreach the journey so far" to enable self appraisal in the last one year of all the efforts. Just me Remmy Nweke @ITRealms Courtesy ITRealms Windows Phone ------------------------------ From: Aziz Hilali <hilaliaziz(a)yahoo.fr> Sent: ‎12/‎09/‎2015 22:26 To: afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org; africann(a)afrinic.net; afrinic-discuss(a)afrinic.net Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN Meeting at ICANN 54 Dublin [English] Dear all, As we have done during the previous ICANN meetings, we will be holding a joint AFRALO/AfrICANN meeting to discuss issues or subjects of interest to our region at the scheduled ICANN 54 meeting in Dublin, which takes place from 18-22 October 2015. The purpose of this message therefore is to ask you to please, suggest a theme you think would be the most pertinent in this regard. We are also looking forward for presentation of a “joint statement” to the attention of ICANN at the end of this meeting. We would appreciate your proposal being sent within a week (before 26 September 2015). Please note that beyond a week, if we do not receive any proposal; the leadership of AFRALO will constitute a drafting committee that will decide the theme and propose to the Community a draft statement to ICANN. This statement will be discussed at the meeting in Dublin. The subject chosen should be relevant to the interest of two organizations: AfrICANN and AFRALO. It should be noted that the interest of this tradition is to express the point of view of the African ICANN community on current issues of interest to the ICANN community. Best Regards Aziz Hilali AFRALO Chair --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [French] Chers tous, Comme nous l'avons fait au cours des précédentes réunions de l'ICANN, nous allons organiser à Dublin la réunion conjointe AFRALO/AfrICANN pour débattre d’une question ou d’un sujet d'intérêt pour notre région. Le but de ce message est de vous demander de bien vouloir proposer un thème que vous pensez être le plus pertinent à cet égard. Cette réunion aboutira à la présentation d'une “déclaration commune” à l’attention de l'ICANN. Nous apprécierions que la proposition de thème soit envoyée dans une semaine (avant le 26 Septembre 2015). Veuillez noter qu'au-delà d'une semaine, si nous ne recevons pas de proposition; la direction d’AFRALO constituera un comité de rédaction qui décidera du thème et proposera à la Communauté un projet de déclaration à l’intention de l'ICANN. Cette déclaration sera discutée à la réunion à Dublin. Le sujet choisi devra avoir l’approbation des deux listes AfrICANN et Afralo. Il est à noter que l'intérêt de cette tradition est d'exprimer le point de vue de la communauté africaine de l'ICANN sur les questions d'actualité et d'intérêt pour la communauté de l'ICANN. Cordialement Aziz Hilali Président d'AFRALO
