[AfrICANN-discuss] [AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN Meeting at ICANN 54 Dublin

[ymshana2003]

Fellows,

It is good to read this discussion taking place prior the "meeting" or "pub crawl in Ireland"... Bravo!

Maybe, for such meetings to  be effective, they should have taken place muchearlier, then feed the Deliberations (Statement) to ICANN Systems through Africa Represention at the Board or its Constituents...? 

Maybe meet at Dublin to produce the Statement for the next ICANN mtg? Otherwise,  it will be business as usual. ..
Just a suggestion / thought:-)

Kind regards
Yassin.

As you know I doubt that you think much.

Using a number of email contributions from (mainly unaffected)
parties as a rationale is plain nonsense and confirms my doubts to
certainty, never mind that 2 out of a 100 shows exactly the
opposite.

I agree with you that this does concern this region.  But, I did
not say that.  I said it does not affect the ECONOMY (of this region).

Internet penetration has NOTHING to do with ICANN/IANA in particular
not the transition.

I also think if you underwent a reform it could affect how we use
the the tool called Internet.  Or global warming, or aliens landing
in Ile-Ife.  Could affect the Internet.  Or not.

I am just trying to be efficient here.  Since nobody in the ICANN
community gives a dead rat's fuzzy behind about what is shared (ie
these AFRALO resolutions), and they do indeed achieve nothing, we
should just go to the pub.
