Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] African Union Agenda 2063 aspirations: Request for input/contributions

[ymshana2003]

+1 Mukom for asking about the Output or Outcome of the long Wish List.  

Maybe something took off but not shared widely due to a number of pressing issues during 2014 ...or the issues raised are still brewing somewhere. ...

This shows the danger of 'politicising-everything' before technical maturity is attained.  As much as it would like to be helpful ....some issues the AUC is forcefully pushed to the front of are beyond its mandate..sadly? It seems that the AUC is ill advised on some issues regarding the Internet-based activities in Africa. Better these issues were directed to the UNECA which is better positioned. 

Diplomacy matters when issues are shovelled in like the way the AUC has been pulled into 'issues that are fabricated' to benefit the minority as it has been on Internet-based economic issues in Africa. 

We should please let the AUC concentrate on its pressing issues under its mandate.

Need I say more.

Enjoy 2k15

Did I anything come out of this? There were quire a few suggestions on this list on how to effectively do this and I’d have expected some kind of engagement. Did that happen in another forum. In any case it will be great to know the status of this.
