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

[Mukom Akong T.]

Hi Moctar

One of the things I did raise was the manner of soliciting such input. For
an IT vision for the entire continent - I'd hoped to see a more open
process whereby the the AUC did overtime to engage consitituents.

- We mentioned setting up a survey

- We mentioned making presentations on this at regional fora (AFRINIC
meeting that just passed in Mauritius and there's African Internet Summit
coming up in Tunis)

- Even a simple brief (not an attachment) to the lists stating what you aim
to achieve

I don't even remember seeing an acknowledgement to all of that input from
this list (beyond Alice's message saying she'd convey these suggestions).
If it isn't too late, could you consider having a more structured approach
to doing this? Some of us will love to volunteer with creating surveys and
other tasks that suit our expertises. But more importantly - the simple act
of creating this collaborative will create a strong community that will
give implementation a fighting chance.

I believe that a IT vision for this continent is too important to be
developed in such a lukewarm manner.
