Dear all,
The call for topics expired yesterday and we received proposals from Abdulkarim, Wisedom, Barrack, Bamba, Hadia, Abiola and Liz. Thank you for participating in the topic selection process. The topics received are new gTLD subsequent procedure, Open data, EPDP and IDN / Universal acceptance. Seun commented on the proposal for EDPD saying the EPDP work is very fast moving and there is a high chance that whatever we have as a draft may become obsolete by AFRALO/AFRICANN meeting. I agree with him. The new gTLD subsequent procedure is one of the most hot subject today at ICANN. It was proposed by several persons. But it contains several topics such as open round or consecutive rounds, application fees, applicant support, community applications, etc. If we decide to address them all together, our statement will be superficial. We need to be focused and give clear and precise opinion to have the required impact. I think we should choose among:
- Open round or consecutive rounds - Application fees, - Applicant support, - Community applications
I propose « Community Applications » since in the 2012 round, the community application was a big failure, and I think we need to give our opinion on how to make it successful. Please give your proposals as soon as possible, and not later than Monday 17 September. To respect the timeline, I also propose that we start forming the drafting team so that on 17 September, we will have the final topic identified and the drafting team formed. I’m volunteering to be on the drafting team.

Dear colleagues,
I also wanted to mention that Hadia El Miniawi had already sent comments on a separate thread. Her suggestion was:
“ Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) which would include universal acceptance or the EPDP.”
Regards,
Sarah

Dear Colleagues,
I hope this email finds you well. The ICANN63 meeting in Barcelona, Spain is only about 1.5 months away. We plan to have the Joint AFRALO- AfrICANN meeting as agreed during the AFRALO monthly call on 5 September 2018. This is a call for topics for the statement for the meeting.
We have several topics to choose from since we are now commenting on the initial report of the new Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) subsequent procedures Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (an open round or consecutive rounds, Universal Acceptance, application fees, applicant support, community applications, etc). We also have the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) working now and we may choose to give our opinion as a region on several aspects of the temporary specifications like data collection, processing, transfer, retention, and access to non-public data).
This wide range of topics mentioned above are given as examples. Of course, you may suggest other topics if you so desire.
As is the norm, the topic that receives the most support will be selected. A drafting team will then be constituted to prepare the statement.
Please note that the final statement should be prepared early to allow it to be translated into French before ICANN63. We request that you please send your topics by Thursday, 13 September 2018 at 23:59 UTC.
Please see our timeline below: 10 - 13 September: Call for topics 14 September: Announcement of the selected Topic 14 - 17 September: Call for drafting team members 18 September: Announcement of the drafting team and starting of drafting the statement 26 September 1st draft of the statement published & Opening of the comment period 03 October: Closing of the comment period 04 - 08 October: Drafting of the final version 09 October: Final draft published We look forward to receiving your topics!
Kind regards,
Sarah Kiden AFRALO Secretariat (On behalf of AFRALO Leadership Team)
================== French
Chers collègues,
J'espère que cet email vous trouvera en bonne santé. La réunion de l'ICANN63 à Barcelone, en Espagne, se tiendra dans à peu près un mois et demi. Nous prévoyons avoir la réunion conjointe AFRALO-AfrICANN comme convenu lors de l'appel mensuel d'AFRALO du 5 septembre 2018. Ceci est un appel à proposition de thèmes pour la déclaration de la réunion.
Nous avons plusieurs sujets desquels nous pouvons choisir puisque nous commentons actuellement le rapport initial du Groupe de Travail sur les Procédures ultérieures de développement des politiques (PDP) des nouveau Domaines Génériques de premier niveau (gTLD) (un tour ouvert ou des tours consécutifs, acceptation universelle, frais de candidature, soutien aux candidats, candidature communautaires, etc.). Nous avons également le Processus Accéléré de développement de politiques (EPDP) qui est actuellement à pieds d’oeuvre et nous pourrions choisir de donner notre avis en tant que région sur plusieurs aspects des spécifications temporaires, tels que la collecte des données, leur traitement, leur transfert, leur conservation et l'accès aux données non publiques.
Ce large éventail de thèmes mentionnés ci-dessus est donné comme exemples. Vous pouvez bien entendu suggérer d'autres sujets si vous le désirer.
Comme c'est la norme, le sujet qui recevra le plus de soutien sera sélectionné. Une équipe de rédaction sera alors constituée pour préparer la déclaration.
Veuillez noter que la déclaration finale devrait être préparée tôt pour permettre sa traduction en français avant l'ICANN63. Nous vous demandons s’il vous plait d'envoyer vos suggestions avant le jeudi 13 septembre 2018 à 23h59 GMT.
Veuillez consulter notre calendrier ci-dessous : 10 - 13 septembre : appel à proposition de sujets 14 septembre : Annonce du sujet sélectionné 14 - 17 septembre : Appel aux membres de l'équipe de rédaction 18 septembre : Annonce de l'équipe de rédaction et début de la rédaction de la déclaration 26 septembre : 1er brouillon de la déclaration publiée & Ouverture de la période de commentaires 03 octobre : Clôture de la période de commentaires 04 - 08 octobre : Rédaction de la version finale 09 octobre : Version finale publiée
Nous sommes impatients de recevoir vos sujets.
