this should be sent to the review consultants.  This is exactly what I told him yesterday.

I like this statement: “Also, the big members of the community do not gloat over their advancement, but are willing to prod the smaller registries to tow the path of progress.”
 
I think this statement sums up nicely what I myself also should have said after ICANN Marrakesh in 2006 (my first meeting), and the ccNSO council & members should take pleasure in knowing that first time attendants are made to feel at relative ease.

Hello Gabi,

Actually, I should have said it during the members meeting.  Perhaps, you could forward it to the Chair or the Council if you consider it necessary.

I am a relative newcomer to all of this.  It is the first time I am attending an ICANN meeting, for instance.  I must say I am overwhelmed by all of the effort at collaboration.

Since my arrival in Kenya, I have attended the Initial Registry operations Course organised by the AfTLD.  it was free!  And I have observed the various sessions and deliberations, particularly, the ccNSO scheduled activities.  Yes, the Techday was particularly over my head.  Understandably, I do not have a technical background.  But, in all, I think I am more enlightened than when I arrived Kenya.  I have a whole lot to take back to the .ng ccTLD.  I'm impressed by the fact that the ccNSO and ICANN act more like parents to the ccTLDs than as umpires.  Also, the big members of the community do not gloat over their advancement, but are willing to prod the smaller registries to tow the path of progress.

Perhaps, if the rest of the global community was patterned after this colllaborative stance, there would be far less friction than we are experiencing, currently.

Well done; and more grease!

Best Regards,
Ugo.
