Greetings,
Apologies for changing the subject line of today's discussions , My
responses are solely on the At-Large comments on new gTLD's thread but
somehow relates to the .africa history.
However to respond to you Brian, the real issue here is not in Fatimata’s
posting of regular procedure. If you think misrepresentation of .africa
issues are legitimate than silence, well, I do not. If at all we want a
better tomorrow, the history must not be conjured and tangled with
modifications, since history is the bedrock of the future right?
Good evening to you all.
>> applications
be aware of At-Large
