[AfrICANN-discuss] ASWG outputs : Clarifications

Sat Sep 15 19:14:14 SAST 2012

I hear you - have I done anything to affect the process? No.

I am contributing by suggesting what I think to be the way the process
should ....that does not remove anybody from African position!?!

Best is to ignore the suggestion - we can not all think in the same way -
it will be a lie. What is important is to be constructive which I have been.

Discussion is not like a war that - 'whether you are with us or not'

Kind regards

Yassin
