[AfrICANN-discuss] Call for Topics: Joint AFRALO-AfrICANN meeting - ICANN69 (Virtual)

[Robert Nkambwe]

 Dear community members, 
most educational institutions across the African region areshutdown especially from the face-to-face classroom setup due to covid-19. Thisis a dire situation, if not well addressed, the region is bound to see thelowest literacy levels to affect generations. 
Many schools have shifted to what is known as Open, Distanceand e-Learning (ODEL) model, which to me, seems ideal if internet support is provisioned.

Therefore, I want to suggest that during the AFRALO-AfrICANNmeeting, there should be profound discussions around the issue of zero-ratingor free Internet provision to all educational institutions from Nursery toUniversity.
I thank you,

Hi all,
I like to propose a topic about Managed dns servers ( like OpenDns, 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.2; 1.1.1.3 and many other): - What are the benefits of these services?- What are the impacts of internet stability and openings?- Can we trust the managed DNS services.There are many questions and  we can have a very good  discussion about this topic.  Kind regards, Chattaoui Abdelhakim
