Request for Proposal: Study About the Domain Name System (DNS) Industry and
Business in Africa

30 November 2015

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is seeking
a provider to conduct a study on the domain name industry in Africa.

The goal of this study is to identify and define the strengths and
weaknesses in the industry ecosystem within the region and develop
recommendations on how to advance the industry and bring it closer to the
opportunities available.

The ICANN's Africa Strategic Plan, reviewed in 2014, defined four key areas
of interest as strategic focus for the region. Two of those, namely
Capacity Building and Outreach and Economic Concerns consider the different
areas and opportunities available to further develop the domain name
industry in Africa.

The study at a minimum will:

   - Investigate the current state of the Internet and the domain name
   industry in the region
   - Define best practices that have made an impact in domain name market
   growth
   - Look at the broader ecosystem of the Internet infrastructure and
   online services and describe the impact of such elements on the overall
   evolution of the domain name industry
   - Describe the business potential in the domain name industry in Africa,
   and
   - Provide suggestions on how to develop the industry and what business
   models can be adopted in the entire industry chain.

The study will include data, analysis, and recommendations.

The final report of the study is to be delivered no later than 30th April
2016. An intermediary report should be provided in March 2015
