[AfrICANN-discuss] Help with .africa history

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Hello helloo..,

It seems that the need to separate politics from Internet business is not
possible to us Africans?

Please leave political bodies such as NEPAD be under AU etc but running a
business is something different!

What is the role of GAC? Or rather has it been changed overnight? The AU,
EU, Regulators belong to in  - they should not be involved in running or
applicatiions for  ccTLD or gTLD.

Colleagues, please leave AU out of this ..africa issue - that is if  you
can..?

Let us concentrate on the true story if it is still News.

Kind regards

Yassin
