WOW!!! 

Big congratulations to Senegal!  

I just got goosebumps when I heard the news! I am happy that Africa has a chance to show the world once again just what Africa CAN do!

The best of luck in preparations for the ICANN October Senegal! I know I speak for a lot of us Africans that we are all behind you all the way to October!
