All,

I support Seun's proposal as those were my first line of thoughts. Is it possible to view this from developing countries perspective instead of narrowing it to Africa only? Making it more general or broader considering ICANN Board's new proposal/response to the CCWG Accountability Public Comment.

"The impact of IANA Transition and ICANN Accountability on Developing Economies" .......... or a better formulation by others.

We may look at any aspect(s) of the IANA Transition and the ICANN accountability that affect the DNS industry in developing countries, including users.

How simple and clear or complicated are the proposals?

Are there enough safeguards in the these proposals to prevent capture by one or few internet stakeholder(s)? Region(s)? Group(s)?

Developing economies are largely government driven environment, particularly Africa, it showed up at the AFIGF during the presentation on IANA transition and accountability, the overarching question was "where does the government come into the Multi-stakeholder oversight equation?"

Are we sure this has been fully and adequately addressed by the proposals vis a vice the NTIA requirements for the transition to happen.

These are some thought provoking questions I believe we should address in our communique on the proposed theme. Others may wish to raise more questions for the drafting committee.

My personal thoughts, please.

Thank you Seun for your proposal,

Indeed, it will be much more useful to give the African perspectives regarding the last proposals for the IANA transition and ICANN Accountability. The experience of the 2 last joint meetings was so successful: Africa was the only one region in ICANN that expressed its position about the transition and the accountability, and this was very well appreciated. Now that the process is at a culminant point, I think it will be so important that we make our voice heard.

Objet : Re: [AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN Meeting at ICANN 54 Dublin

Dear all,

Considering that the IANA stewardship and ICANN accountability will be trending in Dublin, I think it may be good to have a theme around that.

So I suggest a theme, "IANA transition and ICANN accountability - Africa perspective" or something similar.

Thanks Aziz for raising the question for the theme of the AFRALO / AfrICANN Meeting.

@Remmy I like you suggestion in regards to AFRALO Outreach as this will enhance the creation of the Outreach and Engagement in AFRALO.

@Jabera, It is exciting that this is an incite that is coming direct from East Africa but it does not affect East Africa as a whole. Have you looked at the AFRALO Outreach and Engagement Strategy FY16, I would like to call for your input into the strategy.

To get back to the suggestion, I suggesting that the theme of the meeting should be "Enhancing Outreach and Engagement in AFRALO"

Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN Meeting at ICANN 54 Dublin

[English]

Dear all,

As we have done during the previous ICANN meetings, we will be holding a joint AFRALO/AfrICANN meeting to discuss issues or subjects of interest to our region at the scheduled ICANN 54 meeting in Dublin, which takes place from 18-22 October 2015.

The purpose of this message therefore is to ask you to please, suggest a theme you think would be the most pertinent in this regard. We are also looking forward for presentation of a “joint statement” to the attention of ICANN at the end of this meeting. We would appreciate your proposal being sent within a week (before 26 September 2015).

Please note that beyond a week, if we do not receive any proposal; the leadership of AFRALO will constitute a drafting committee that will decide the theme and propose to the Community a draft statement to ICANN. This statement will be discussed at the meeting in Dublin.

The subject chosen should be relevant to the interest of two organizations: AfrICANN and AFRALO. It should be noted that the interest of this tradition is to express the point of view of the African ICANN community on current issues of interest to the ICANN community.

Best Regards

Aziz Hilali

AFRALO Chair

Chers tous,

Comme nous l'avons fait au cours des précédentes réunions de l'ICANN, nous allons organiser à Dublin la réunion conjointe AFRALO/AfrICANN pour débattre d’une question ou d’un sujet d'intérêt pour notre région.

Le but de ce message est de vous demander de bien vouloir proposer un thème que vous pensez être le plus pertinent à cet égard. Cette réunion aboutira à la présentation d'une “déclaration commune” à l’attention de l'ICANN.

Nous apprécierions que la proposition de thème soit envoyée dans une semaine (avant le 26 Septembre 2015).

Veuillez noter qu'au-delà d'une semaine, si nous ne recevons pas de proposition; la direction d’AFRALO constituera un comité de rédaction qui décidera du thème et proposera à la Communauté un projet de déclaration à l’intention de l'ICANN. Cette déclaration sera discutée à la réunion à Dublin.

Le sujet choisi devra avoir l’approbation des deux listes AfrICANN et Afralo. Il est à noter que l'intérêt de cette tradition est d'exprimer le point de vue de la communauté africaine de l'ICANN sur les questions d'actualité et d'intérêt pour la communauté de l'ICANN.

Cordialement

Aziz Hilali

Président d'AFRALO
