[AfrICANN-discuss] African PKI

[Jean Robert Hountomey]

Nacer,
I heard about an AfriPKI initiative in 2003 but I cannot tell you about 
the progress.
The first meeting was in Tunis in 2005 and the secretariat was ANCE 
Tunisie (Tunisian National certification agency (ANCE)) in collaboration 
with Economic Commission for Africa and Francophonie.
At the African ICT Ministerial round table on ICANN 42 (Oct 2011) 
meeting in Dakar, we heard about the reactivation of the project. It was 
also on the Agenda for the meeting organized by UNECA in Feb 2012 in 
Abidjan, but I don't have additional information.
