Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] The Google campaign – An ITU view

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Hi Nii,

There is no issue to keep you awake..yes I came into the global scene
through nomination in Dec 2004 and that is all and have since been keen to
join in to see <.africa> becoming a reality. me being as a Beneficiary and
User - not in the business.of making money but in the policy formulation.

What has poisoned .africa is as you know very well is when individual
benefit became a priority - and for free or through negative influence and
to the large extent with lies! The poison is ego and money - that is what
all the arguments and unfair fight is for. This has gone too far away from
the fair competition in business - I believe there is evidence for this
based on the way the battle (not competition) has been going.

May I state that I do not intend Kalvin or anyone else who does not know me
well label me since I believe that what I am doinfd and standing for is
fairness without favour.

Lastly, what I have seen is a number of Conflicts of Interest in the air
and I do not accept groupings within Africa as it has shamefully happened.
My support to DCA business model is there since it does not include or use
political space that is taken advantage of such as when AUC was dragged
into Internet business activity as a way of discrediting DCA. I am sad to
say that, that is a conflict - we should have let ICANN process go ahead
unhindered.

Kind regards

Yassin
(for Africa)
