Seun, that is called hitting the nail on the head. We have a great email list run by AFRINIC on the IANA transition. https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ianaoversight But so far, only the African region is lagging behind on discussions on that topic. If we have nothing to say on this list before ICANN51, then we will have nothing to say in the one and a half hours allocated for the meeting.

While i agree with Barrack i will also like to emphasis that we need to ways to get our region talking on these topics even before the face2face.
Many will not be at the face2face and so we should take advantage of the various mailing lists to deliberate on these issues.
Cheers!

Dear Colleagues,
I support the Chairs proposal. We have several representatives from the African Community, Mohamed, Mary and Adiel, this could be a great forum in which we can consolidate our position. We could also use this forum to receive feedback from our representatives on the issues we should focus on as a continent based on the deliberations they had in London as well as on various mailing lists.
Thank you
Best Regards

Dear all,
As we have done in previous ICANN meetings, AFRALO will be holding a joint AFRALO/AfrICANN meeting to discuss an issue or topic of interest to our region at the scheduled ICANN 51 meeting in Los Angeles, which takes place from 12-16 October 2014.
I would like to propose the following topic: "IANA Transition and ICANN Accountability seen by the African Community"
Please provide your opinion on the choice of this subject and suggest an alternative one in case you think it is more relevant. We would appreciate your proposal, comments and suggestions within a couple of weeks (before September 7, 2014). The theme must have the approval of both AfrICANN and AFRALO lists and should be relevant to the interest of two organizations: AfrICANN and AFRALO.
This meeting will issue as usual, a "joint statement" to the attention of ICANN. Those who want to participate in the drafting committee are requested to express their interest. The committee will propose to the Community, a draft statement to be discussed at the joint meeting in Los Angeles.
The AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting has become a tradition that we organize since Brussels. The objective is to express the views of the African ICANN community on current issues that are of interest to our community.
Best Regards Aziz Hilali AFRALO Chair

Chers tous,
Comme nous l'avons fait au cours des précédentes réunions de l'ICANN, AFRALO organisera à Los Angeles la réunion conjointe AFRALO/AfrICANN pour débattre d'une question ou d'un sujet d'intérêt pour notre région. Je voudrais pour cela vous proposer le thème suivant : <<Transition de l'IANA et Redevabilité de l'ICANN vues par la Communauté Africaine>>
Le but de ce courriel est de vous demander votre opinion sur le choix de ce sujet et de bien vouloir le cas échéant proposer un thème que vous pensez être plus pertinent. Prière envoyer vos remarques et propositions dans une quinzaine de jours (avant le 7septembre 2014). Le sujet choisi devra avoir l'approbation des deux listes AfrICANN et Afralo et devrait prendre en considération l'intérêt de deux organisations: AfrICANN et AFRALO.
Cette réunion aboutira comme d'habitude à la présentation d'une "déclaration commune" à l'attention de l'ICANN. Les personnes souhaitant participer au comité de rédaction sont priées de le signaler. Ce comité proposera à la Communauté, un projet de déclaration à l'ICANN qui sera discutée à la réunion de Los Angeles.
Il est à noter que l'intérêt de cette tradition que nous organisons ensemble depuis Bruxelles, est d'exprimer le point de vue de la communauté africaine de l'ICANN sur les questions d'actualité et d'intérêt pour notre communauté.
Cordialement
Aziz Hilali Président d'AFRALO _______________________________________________ AFRI-Discuss mailing list AFRI-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/afri-discuss
