Dear Sarah,

I would like to go with Tijani on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (Neustar proposal on the upcoming rounds). As you might be aware, we also discussed New gTLD Subsequent Procedures in Barcelona however this process is very important to us as Africans. We need to have a clear and loud voice on this issue because if we don't it would come back to hunt us and the future African generations.

Discussing it again would be a clear message to ICANN that we really want to do this.

I am happy to be part of the drafting team.

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well. The ICANN64 meeting in Kobe, Japan is about 1.5 months away. We plan to have the Joint AFRALO-AfrICANN meeting. This is a call for topics for the statement for the meeting. Previous statements can be accessed here.

As is the norm, the topic that receives the most support will be selected. A drafting team will then be constituted to prepare the statement. Please note that the final statement should be prepared early to allow translation into French. Please send your suggestions by Wednesday, 6 February 2019.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,

Sarah Kiden
AFRALO Secretariat
