Dear Aziz,

I would like to propose, the effect of General Data Protection Regulation on Internet Commerce in Africa. It is a hot topic in ICANN and we might want to understand how it will affect the continent and whether the continent requires a similar mechanism as the Domain Name Industry grows.

Best Regards

Chers tous,

Comme nous l'avons fait au cours des précédentes réunions de l'ICANN, nous allons organiser une réunion conjointe AFRALO/AfrICANN pour débattre d’une question ou d’un sujet d'intérêt pour notre région lors de la réunion de l'ICANN 60 à Abu Dhabi qui aura lieu du 28 octobre au 3 novembre 2017.

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 dimanche 17 Septembre).

Veuillez noter qu'au-delà de cette date, 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 Abu Dhabi.

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

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 60 meeting in Abu Dhabi, which takes place from 28 Oct - 3 Nov 2017.

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 before Sunday 17 September.

Please note that beyond the Sunday 17 September, 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 Abu Dhabi.

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
