>>New Approach to Africa
>>
>>
>>10 August 2012 
>>
>>With the support of AFRINIC, Africa's Regional Registry for Internet
>>Number Resources, ICANN and leading members of its community are today
>>announcing an initiative aimed at increasing African participation and
>>influence within ICANN.
>>
>>This initiative is the result of a June meeting involving Steve Crocker,
>>Chairman of ICANN's Board of Directors, ICANN's CEO-Designate Fadi
>>Chehadé and its Interim CEO Akram Atallah with African community members
>>at ICANN's 44th Public Meeting, in Prague, Czech Republic.
>>
>>The goal is to develop a framework for ICANN's Africa strategy and to
>>announce an initial plan at the October 2012 Public Meeting in Toronto,
>>Canada. The strategy will aim both to support a stronger presence for
>>ICANN in Africa and to increase African participation in ICANN. It will
>>also foster the promotion of the multi-stakeholder model in Africa at the
>>government, civil society and private sector levels.
>>
>>This effort is a step toward stronger global engagement for ICANN, with a
>>special focus on developing countries.
>>
>>To contribute to the development of the new strategy, a working group was
>>created and endorsed by the African community members meeting in Prague,
>>including key players in Internet governance from different regions in
>>Africa. The working group has selected Nii Quaynor of Ghana, a
>>well-respected Internet leader in Africa, to lead its efforts.
>>
>>ICANN has appointed Tarek Kamel of Egypt to serve as a Senior Advisor to
>>its President and CEO on global issues, and to work with the group to
>>develop the initial strategic plan that will be announced in Toronto. The
>>working group unanimously endorsed this choice. Tarek is well known for
>>his long record of achievements in promoting the Internet and its
>>multi-stakeholder model in developing countries.
