Very true...but not fair. .

 However. .let us not forget that Africa is  part of the global processes. ..one will not wait for our word retrospectively. .We just have to join in this Call to put things right in ICANN for the global community.
With due respect.

Subject: [AfrICANN-discuss] Re: Response to ICANN accountability process -	How about Africa? 

Hello Ben, Barrack, all

Just to mention that there are also formal request for reconsideration that has been made by some communities within ICANN

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/request-bc-rysg-ncsg-29aug14-en.pdf

The question however is whether these will make any difference to a process that has already been put in action to the extent of appointing PEG members. 

Nevertheless it may be good to add to the voice for all its worth

Cheers!

Barrack,

Its early and cold here in Namibia. :-)

Let's see what the rest of Africa thinks once they finish breakfast or
their Saturday morning shopping.

But this is an important issue that will affect us here in Africa.
