[AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Theme for a Joint Meeting AFRALO/AfrICANN at ICANN 51

[Barrack Otieno]

Hi Dr Fuller,

You raise a very pertinent issue while i am in agreement with you, i
also think we have to be wary of decisions that will over engineer
decision making processes within ICANN since this could result in some
analysis paralysis sort of scenario, what is your take?

Just a thought.
