Dear all,
I see merit in all the suggested topics. However, I think "Core priority areas to focus on within the African ICANN Strategy"  seems more appropriate.
Based on my little experience, I think if we have a statement directed towards the ICANN Board it kind of attracting more attention. I believe the issue of capacity building for DNS abuse can also be incorporated into the statement as it is part of the strategic plan. 
 Finally, I would like to amend the title to be " The African priority areas within the ICANN Strategic plan". My believe and the aim is that this way we can incorporate the DNS issue and connecting the unconnected there was also suggested. 

Thank you
