[AfrICANN-discuss] ASWG outputs : Clarifications

[Badru Ntege]

Dr Yassin

Strategy in my book is like a compass that gives us a. Direction to start the journey.  A number of colleagues are making valuable and well thought through suggestions and your insistence on "half cooked" undermines those who have contributed.  

So what would be your suggested timeline ?

Your contribution should then be a full suggested timeline including suggested activities.  That's what is needed now.   Those of us on the list can then discuss the alternative and you never know we might just agree with you.  But for now we are working with the plan on the table since that's all we have and it looks ok.

Can't comment on the Kenyan issue since all facts are not available.
