Dear all,

I think Kenya did the right thing - and the only right thing to do is to
support the proposal for ICANN(#) -Kenya!!!

This proposal has been on the drawing table a while - Why Not Kenya!!!

Please, this is not a political "issue". Kenya should be the 2nd country in
the African Region to host the meetings - there will be good lessons to be
learnt by others.

Kenya! Kenya!! Kenya!!!!!

Cheers

Yassin
