[AfrICANN-discuss] ICANN Africa Event in Addis 5-8 March 2013

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Back to you Dr Nii et al,

May I refer to these negative statements which might have been written with
emotion or fearing something - I fail to distinguish:


*......"This new call to postpone the event is merely another disruption or
perhaps even sabotage

Does Africa want to develop?".....*

Yes our Africa want to develop - BUT not by 'bulldozing' it should be
through 'transformation of  'mindsets' since Africa is rich in many other
ways. We should use bulldozers in road construction etc not in the
development process

The call for postponement is not act of 'sabotage' as you see it - the
'request' for postponement is based on the need to be 'effective by
observing  value for money and time' of the stakeholders. They need to be
prepared by being part of Agenda setting. That is the kind of inclusiveness
that need to be seen - not to sit down and broadcast the Agenda during New
Year festivities - I m sure that is not good timing if you consider how
executives operate - this is not the only important activity to some of
them.  Therefore this is not 'sabotage' but an act of making things 'work
better'..!

Lastly, as a patriot - it is unthinkable to sabotage anything with Africa
in it!!

Kind regards

Yassin
