[AfrICANN-discuss] Let's be proactive

[Ben Fuller]

Please, get serious.

The African Union comes from the OAU which was started in 1963. That
was 49 years ago. Just shy of half a century, two and a half
generations ago. Yet, still begging for donor funds. Enough to make me
puke.  This is the typical incompetent, idiotic agenda of people
raised without a clue; "Let's blame the donors instead of asking
ourselves why we do not focus on generating our own funds."

Are you telling me that there is not enough surplus cash in the whole
continent to fund the AU?

That is one of the major problems in Africa. Instead of looking to
stand on our own feet, we go whine about our poverty and hope that
someone gives us money. That is not proactive.  If this list wants to
speak about the African IT agenda (or whatever you want to call it)
with ICANN then be proactive and stop moaning about how much money you
need. Focus on what we can contribute.
