Thank you Olivier for your mail. Indeed, it's a great piece of news. Dr Tarak disserves, and I think ICANN made the right decision. I hope that for the upcoming years, Africa may have a better position in ICANN and will have a more important participation in the ICANN activities and especially in the policy development process. ---------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ---------------------------------------------------------- -----Message d'origine----- De : afri-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:afri-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Envoyé : samedi 11 août 2012 23:31 À : afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org Objet : [AFRI-Discuss] A New Approach to Africa by ICANN Dear AFRALO colleagues, please find the following announcement. Our congratulations go to Dr. Tarek Kamel to serve as Senior Advisor on global issues to the ICANN President and CEO. The ICANN announcement can be found on: http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-10aug12-en.htm This announcement is very important since it also signals the need for AFRALO and its ALSes to realise the opportunity of this new engagement strategy. I therefore look forward to seeing ALSes in the region contribute well to this new development. The renewed interest that ICANN is showing in the region should benefit our ALSes at local level too. Warmest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair _______________________________________________ AFRI-Discuss mailing list AFRI-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/afri-discuss Homepage for the region: http://www.afralo.org Posting guidelines to ensure machine translations of emails sent to this list are more accurate: http://www.funredes.org/mistica/english/emec/method_emec/presentation.html#a nexo1 ----- Aucun virus trouvé dans ce message.
