Hello CAFEC colleague et al Thank you for this..  I still haven't seen a proposal on how to hold Sub-Regional discussions under the African Strategy by ICANN* However..It is encouraging to read that you agreed with my broad suggestions. I do differ with the suggestion that we involve Regional Bodies such ad the AUC at this stage since it is beyond their mandate....you could do this at Country level as part of the implenentation of National ICT Policy (if there is any?)

This will also facilitate the preparation of African Declaration . The challenges are many and we must objectively define the theme. Furthermore, for the case of Africa, we must remember to include regional organizations. Like europe when the European Union and the Council of Europe who actively participate in these discussions. It is necessary that all stakeholders in African countries are concerned and give their views. This process can only be possible if these organizations with the African Union are involved. We do not have to reinvent the wheel but we must seize every opportunity. We all call for the multi-stakeholder approach, but then we have to be realistic and pragmatic. I propose that this discussion on IANA transition should figure more prominently in the IGF programs at national, regional and continental levels. An African conference on IANA Transition organized by the African Union can be considered in  2015.   These are suggestions of Team CAFEC during our General Assembly.

May I suggest that we follow some developments in the USA regarding current situation? The deadline of Sept 2015 might be a dream since it deoends on what the USGovt decides to do. In that case, it is suggestible that we look at tangible things sych as the intensifying the effort being made to further develop Internet-based ecinomic activities....there is more to be done in that area while contributing in the current 'politics of the Internet' which are US based.   Just a thought on this...

Maybe we can have a theme centered around the role of Africa in the process. Currently, three communities (names, numbers, and protocol parameters) are working hard to ensure we meet the NTIA's deadline. How has the continent contributed on the same?

Dear all,

As has been the case in previous ICANN meetings, AFRALO will be holding a joint AFRALO/AfrICANN meeting to discuss issues or subjects of interest to our region at the scheduled ICANN 52 meeting in Singapore, which takes place from 8-12 February 2015

The purpose of this message therefore is to request you to  suggest a theme that is appropriate for the meeting. 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 as soon as possible (before 20 December 2014). Please note that beyond   period,  If we do not receive any proposal; the Leadership ofAFRALO 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 Singapore.

  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, which we organize   together since the Brussels meeting , is to express the point of view of the African   ICANN community on current issues that are of interest to the ICANN community.

Best Regards

Bonjour à tous,

  Comme cela a été le cas lors des réunions de l'ICANN précédentes, AFRALO tiendra  une réunion conjointe AFRALO / AfrICANN pour discuter des questions ou des sujets d'intérêt  pour notre région à la réunion 52 de l'ICANN prévue à Singapour, qui aura lieu du 8 au 12 Février 2015. Le but de ce message est donc de vous demander de suggérer un  thème approprié pour la réunion. Nous souhaitons également préparer une "déclaration commune" à l'attention d'ICANN à la fin de cette réunion. Nous apprécierions votre proposition que vous pouvez transmettre sur la liste avant le 20 Décembre 2014. S'il vous plaît noter que si au delà de ce délai, nous ne recevons aucune proposition; La direction d'AFRALO constituera un comité de rédaction qui choisira un thème et proposera à la Communauté un projet de déclaration à l'ICANN. Cette déclaration sera discutée lors de la réunion à Singapour.   Le thème choisi devrait être pertinent pour l'intérêt des deux organisations: AfrICANN et AFRALO.  Il convient de rappeler que l'intérêt de cette tradition, que nous organisons  ensemble depuis la réunion de Bruxelles, est d'exprimer le point de vue de l'Afrique Communauté de l'ICANN sur les questions actuelles qui sont d'intérêt pour la communauté de l'ICANN.   Cordialement _______________________________________________ AFRI-Discuss mailing list AFRI-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/afri-discuss
