[AfrICANN-discuss] ICANN 52 Meeting to Relocate to Singapore | Marrakech, Morocco Meeting to Take Place in Early 2016

[Aziz Hilali]

Dear Mwendwa

The CEO of ICANN and myself as organizer of Marrakech meeting, had a long discussion before this decision. 
Fadi has met on two occasions all leaderships of Africa to explain extensively the motivations of the ICANN Board to decide the postponement for early 2016.

Best

Aziz

I expect a protest from the AfriCANN community given that we have missed our scheduled round of hosting the event. Through the continental rotation process we are used to, it means we are loosing out. The board should give us a proper reason why they postponed the meeting and why they could not get an alternative venue. Probably Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia ...

Mathias,
>I belief Africa still has a chance to host it in 2016 as indicated. I think ICANN does not want to try another African country and the meeting is poor attended. Let just hope that before 2016 the situation of Ebola in the continent under control.
