Hi
When will the game plans change for good?
You said you are doing a draft of African Strategic plan without sharing it
with colleagues and given them time to respond is not right.
I think its VIP to get that letter if not sent yet to be withdrawn and if
it has been sent as I guess, we need to share its content on this list like
wise other African lists where necessary.
Agreed some people have to make a decision, but not by consealing
information
We all know that domain name business and management is very complex when
it comes to Africa and we needed to rally round our selves to have a
position instead of talking from every region or minority as it where.
Please I back Yassin, at least, in this case.
