Re: [AFRI-Discuss] AFRI-Discuss Digest, Vol 129, Issue 82
by Chenai Chair July 28, 2017

July 28, 2017

Dear Aziz, Thank you for the update on the strategies. As someone increasing my engagement with Afralo, it is great to have this insight on their strategies. This is great work that has been done by Daniel Nanghaka and Tijani BEN JEMAA. I do have a query? has there been some form of an online strategy being developed, not just around events but continuously? I am part of a youth initiative called Emerging Leaders in Internet governance in South Africa. During ICANN59, on the online platform, our community members were asking questions such as what is the Africa strategy? where does Africa stand in ICANN? I ccd the @AFRALO handle but I don't recall a response unless I missed it. - Continue to identify universities and academic institutions to organize fruitful discussions with students and teachers about Internet and ICANN to bring young people into ICANN through these Open Session Is there room to also add groups working on issues pertinent to ICANN but not necessarily in these institutions? I might have missed this, but I think there might be a need to engage on these platforms to enhance the aim of the outreach and bringing in younger stakeholders.

Re: [AFRI-Discuss] Draft AFRALO FY18 Outreach and Engagement Strategy
by Ali Hussein July 26, 2017

July 26, 2017

Chair Thanks for the great work you have done starting off the Outreach and Engagement Strategy. I don't know how much time we have to finalise this so I have taken the liberty to take your work and start a document. I hope this is ok. See attached. The document could possibly be plugged onto an online platform like Google Docs to enable wide online collaboration. I do hope I'm not be presumptuous. I have several comments to make regarding this first/second draft. 1. I'm still very new in the AFRALO/RALO ecosystem so there's something I have found a bit strange. I don't mean to disparage anyone or put down anyone so if it comes across that I have please accept my apologies unequivocally. This is what I have found strange:- I have tried to do a google search on AFRALO and it always takes me to the ICANN At Large Page. Is this deliberate? Doesn't AFRALO or any other RALO have their own standalone website? If so why then do we not have our own website? 2. Brand Identity and Equity. AFRALO is doing important and seminal work. And most of it is voluntary work. And that's even more powerful. I would like us to challenge each other to have a strong Identity that can be used to further the objectives of AFRALO. This sort of emphasizes the first point. 3. Social Media. I know we have social media handles. What I propose is to strengthen the engagement directly focusing on the different target constituents. 4. I would also like to suggest that we look at adding within this Strategy a Communications Strategy that may address the above. Thank you all.
