Thanks for the headers up Jimson. I am checking with my source to confirm how long it would take ICANN to translate to French, where it is going to be impossible to use their service, i would engage the service of a professional to get it done. It would interest you to know that the organizers have a french version of their website (https://internetsummitafrica.org/fr) - that's how important it is to reach out to delegates from the Francophone areas. The techie part of the summit is basically from the the 21st to the 28th of May, which features workshops from various organisations. The Conference part of the summit is the target and has its opening ceremony on the 29th of May. Having some of our materials in French would also be clear evidence of our interest for diversity, where the need arises in future. LOR. On Tue, May 9, 2017 8:13 pm, Jimson Olufuye wrote:
ICANN may need 6 weeks to do anything like this but it is barely 2 weeks to the event. Besides I don't think translated materials are necessary in a Summit where the key medium of communication is English. I also think the BC Factsheet may be sufficient for the Outreach especially that the Summit is chiefly for techies which fits more with the ISPCP, Registry and Registrar biz.
Cheers,

Thanks Lawrence. Quick question: I seem to remember that ICANN had budget to do some of the translation and printing. Jimson, you may remember the answer ‹ might they agree to do this too?
Outreach members, as the time is short, please do send in comments as you have them.
Cheers, Andrew

Dear Outreach Members,
My apologies for not turning in this earlier as promised, there was a need to review my earlier proposal so as to reduce the proposed cost for the outreach after my consultations with Andrew early on friday.
Please find attached my proposal for outreach to the Business community that would be attending the African Internet Summit in Nairobi, Kenya. The AIS is one of the biggest meeting on the continent because allows for great collaboration among all stakeholders. It is co-hosted by Afrinic (the regional RIR) and AfNOG with Tespok as the local host for this year. ICANN, ISOC, African IGF, AfricaCERT, AfTLD, AfREN and AfPIF are all partners at this years event, with all bringing in a large mix of their stakeholders to the meeting. over 1000 participants are expected in Nairobi in May.
I will be actively participating at the conference, exploring the business network for potential BC members who are a fit for our constituency and looking forward to the approval of my BoF session on "Start Up Incubation and the Future of the Internet" during the conference.
Thanks for your kind approval.
Lawrence Olawale-Roberts.
