[AfrICANN-discuss] Breaking News: DotConnectAfrica Trust WinsResounding Victory against ICANN in IRP Accountability

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

May I add a little bit to the Proverbs going on please?

I m coming out with the following as me and myself "Yassin Mshana of the
Truth"..

There is a universal fact/ proverb that, "No one can hide the Truth ..the
Truth will come out anyhow soon or later" You can hide and frustrate the
Truth but it the Truth will grow out of anyhow...

The question is, "is there Truth and Good Faith in all this Saga or Is the
Truth a bitter pill to swallow?"

There have been blatant 'lies' going around for 2 Years concerning the
.africa. There have been unnecessary wrong moves to 'lie to Africans' by
self serving individuals' who should own it up for the delay of .africa due
to their covert and cabal approach. ..

It is an embarrassing situation to our Continent which still has resources
left..

My Call is for the self selected Groups who advised the AUC to cease
lies-fire and tow the line of Truth.  They have deliberately 'mislead the
Political wing of African Continent into an internationally embarrassing
situation. They gave abused the Trust put on them and finally they have
painted ICANN’s reputation with wrong colours. That means, African
representation at the ICANN Board and in the well respected GAC
Constituency have to polish the very important space they gave in the GAC
by being knowledgenable with "ICANN transparent Processes"
Finally for fellow Africans....we should think about the people who we
think represent Africa in the ICANN System and how they are 'picked' to
represent Africa Region. It is Time for Change to bring New ideas and
people since serving in ICANN should not be a life long career...we need
new ideas from new people who are not privy to the ICANN Operations since
we have to think Out if the Box... There is No Driving Test for ICANN
representatives apart from good Leadership Test.

All with very good faith..

I am happy to be corrected but not diverted from the Truth.

Have a good Eid and Weekend as applicable.

Yassin
