Well, as Fatimata pointed out - it is important that the AfrICANN community
be aware of At-Large and the signifance thereof in this round of GTLD
applications. It is therefore embarassing when someone criticizes her for
the same, isn't it?
A process, that is open and inclusive and allows sharing of views (no
matter how divergent) is much more authentic than one where people are
bullied into silence...

>> According to *Information and Communications for Development 2012:
>> Maximizing Mobile* <http://www.worldbank.org/ict/ic4d2012>, more than 30
>> billion mobile applications, or “apps,” were downloaded in 2011 – software

>>
>> This new report, the third in the World Bank’s series on Information and

>> development of the emerging “app economy”, especially in evolving
>> approaches to entrepreneurship and employment. It also examines the vast
>> transformative impact of mobile technology in sectors such as agriculture,

>>
>> - In *India*, the state of Kerala’s mGovernment program has deployed
>> over 20 applications and facilitated more than 3 million interactions
>> between the government and citizens since its launch in December 2010.
>> - *Kenya *has emerged as a leading player in mobile for development,
>> largely due to the success of the* *M-PESA mobile payment ecosystem.
>> Nairobi-based AkiraChix, for example, provides networking and training
>> for
>> women technologists.
>> - In *Palestine*, Souktel’s JobMatch service is helping young people
>> find jobs. College graduates using the service reported a reduction
>> in the
>> time spent looking for employment from an average of twelve weeks to
>> one
>> week or less, and an increase in wages of up to 50 percent.

>> The report benefits from research funded by the Ministry for Foreign
>> Affairs of the Government of Finland, the Korea Trust Fund for ICT4D, and
>> UKaid. It features at-a-glance tables for more than 150 economies showing
>> the latest available data and indicators for the mobile sector. It also
>> introduces an analytical tool for examining the relevant performance
>> indicators for each country’s mobile sector, so that policy-makers can
>> assess their capacities relative to other countries.
