[AfrICANN-discuss] An interetesting perspective from Africa on the changing face of Internet Governance

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Many thanks Kivuva,

 "Since the internet affects
everyone, Africans citizens who are aware of internet governance
discussions, expect African stakeholders to engage in these
discussions..."


I think this says it all...`Citizens` through Governments OR Businesses OR
Special Interest Groups within the ICANN Structure?
As an African citizen I have not seen that happening up to now since this
Sector is still taken as a Technical function in Africa.....?

Cheers

Yassin
