[AfrICANN-discuss] "Vint Cerf on ICANN and NTIA"

In Jordan, I think the national ICT policy has a long way to go before it can benefit the economy and protect the vulnerable. One reason is the turbulence in the surrounding countries.

Thank you Fahd for this.

I have been aware of and active in ICANN issues ling enough since my services through ccNSO Council in 2004/05...that was when the PDP dominated in our work.. In that case I am discussing this with extensive knowledge and understanding of processes and procedures at global level.

How does your National ICT Policy guide the Internet-based businesses and economy while protecting the vulnerable? Let us start from there...

Have a good day one and all

Thank you Yassin.

On both suggestions, I’d suggest you touch-base with the fellowship team at fellowships at icann.org. On the part where you state that the fellowship program is reaching maturity, since the amount of work undertaken at ICANN is expanding (and this is apparent by the surge in the number of working groups that are currently active), the ICANN process will always be in need of more volunteers to drive its PDP forward. The fellowship program is one aspect where more community members; especially from the developing world, can come from.

Thank you Fahd for this.

I would like to suggest this training should be part of the Fellowship programme which has been going on..?

Btw there is a need to review to see the effectiveness of the Fellowship Programme since it is reaching its maturity .

Kind regards

All,

I would like to bring your attention to the ICANN Learn portal at http://learn.icann.org/. Here, you can find a couple of courses posted where anybody interested can enroll in them; all you need to do is create an account. The development of further courses depends on the community requesting them.

Mind you, no certificates are provided upon completion of a course.

Thank you,

Fahd

Hello Hafedh...
Thank you for the information you have provided.... my line of thought which is similar to what you have presented is based in the observation that a number of people seem to have illusions in their understanding of what is ICANN. Too many hearsays and misinformations have happened to even at higher levels...is it due to to the fact that there is a tendency of not taking time to read the basics or believing in what they are told?

....need I say more? We have seen the obvious ignorance around us..

Cheers
Yassin

Here are some insights when it comes to Internet governance trainings and capacity building in Africa. Although internet outreach is still a big issue in Africa, I see two critical outreach engines for Africans to boost skills development and capacity building  about internet governance and the core values of ICANN as well as the technical skills such IPv6 and DNSSEC, Root Server, etc . First, a  breadth engine is required  to maximize the outreach carrying out the primary ICANN school content like the principles, definitions and all content for new comers and ordinary audiences, Second the depth engine which should target an upper level advanced audience where trainings are more in depth about internet governance such what does mean transparency, human rights in internet, neutrality of the net, and advanced level on IPv6 deployment,  whta's ICANN accountability means in the transition period, etc ... I would even suggest an ICANN certification Program, a kind of international accredited institution, like CISCO, Microaoft or oracle academy!! Last and not least, when reading this discussion, I jumped on my chair cause the subject is so vibrant and relevant to reshape the future of internet governance in Africa. Education and training is the force of the future, I have been engaged  on this subject since a while as part of my engineering concerns on  internet, I have gathered a set of data, content, I shared feedbacks with some ICANN friends, etc .. let’s get together  to share thoughts and ideas, its important  to reanimate such a great debate for a concrete plan or action

Just to add a little...I think that we need to have 'ICANN School' or College in that matter to educate people in Internet Governance. Any takers?
There is enough misinformation in the air right now....that is why I would like to suggest so since the Internet nerds a specific and special approach to its global existence and reach at the moment.....I would not be comfortable with some suggestions since  'Trust and Truth' are a very hard Currency to trade on ..
It's me Yassin
