[AfrICANN-discuss] Good Bye .DOTAFRICA: A Significant Landmark Victory in the Battle for .Africa gTLD

[Ben Fuller]

I agree with Nii. I teach at a local university and have a 40 year track
record of successful research and other funding applications. In one of my
classes where I teach about funding and project applications I refer time
and time again to the fact that you have to read the directions before you
submit an application. This is basic.  Clearly the DCA Trust did not do
this and has had to wage a campaign of dubious ethics to rectify their
massive screw up.

Now that they have "won" because ICANN has been generous in allowing them
to correct an unforgivable mistake, let's concentrate on the real issue:
Are they competent to manage a key piece of Internet infrastructure on
behalf of the continent? If they get the basics of the application wrong,
what about reading and understanding the RFCs? Or the help files for
BIND/DNSSEC etc? Based on what I have seen thus far, the answer is a
resounding "No."
