[AfrICANN-discuss] call to African Not-for-Profit and Non-Governmental Organizations to join NPOC

[Seun Ojedeji]

I think this part is most important to me

Civil Society needs to become as deeply involved in ICANN and internet
> governance as governments and the private sector.

In other to improve the involvement perhaps it will be good to combine the
efforts. If there is already existing platform for the Civil society as
Rafik noted, it may be good to put all energy to that OR find a perfect way
of synchronizing the contributions from NPOC and NCUC

Civil Society in my opinion is one of the largest interest group but
unfortunately not the loudest perhaps this can be attributed to the diverse
and not fully converged communication medium that it has.

Cheers!
