[AfrICANN-discuss] Africa likely to be shaken off the internet

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Dear all,

We should all be aware that Becky has an obligation to analyse and
disseminate the information that comes her attention through many ways (isnt
it so?).

So, please, let us all pass over the information that is correct at first
instance in order to avoid such discussions afterwards like what is
happening now.

Well done one and all!

Yassin
