Re: [AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Theme for a Joint Meeting AFRALO/AfrICANN at ICANN 51

Aug. 30, 2014

      Ben and Barrack,

Thank you for initiating the discussion on the topic. If Aziz proposed this particular theme, it was because it is the topic under discussion now in ICANN and the Internet Governance eco-system in general. Yes the issue of the ICANN accountability and Governance process proposed by the staff raise several concerns, but also the IANA function stewardship transition process made and is making us concerned on several aspects. So, the theme is broad and has high importance for the ICANN future, and the one of the internet governance as well.

I’m happy that BEN volunteered to be on the drafting team (we already worked together before), and I’m sure that with Fatimata, Mohamed, the AFRALO leaders and all those who are wanting to participate in the drafting effort, we will come up with a good statement to be submitted to the LA AFRALO/AfrICANN joint meeting for discussion and adoption.

Barrack,

Perhaps, but we should seriously consider joining all the other

communities.  Scroll down to the bottom of the article where the full text

of the joint letter sent to ICANN is posted.  We should focus on that text.

Hi Dr Fuller,
...

...
You raise a very pertinent issue while i am in agreement with you, i
...
also think we have to be wary of decisions that will over engineer
...
decision making processes within ICANN since this could result in some
...
analysis paralysis sort of scenario, what is your take?
...

...
Just a thought.

Aziz has come up with a good idea. It is also timely. Please follow the

link below and you'll see that we are in a critical time for transparency

and accountability. I suggest that we draft something in line with the

letter sent by all the other ICANN communities.

I will be willing to be part of the drafting team.

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.

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 7 septembre 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
