<div>Hi AR -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for asking. I have enjoyed most of th einformation you have sent to us thus far. I like the list in fact, because it targets a focused group, which is us and gets our attention. So you "pushing" infor to us is more useful as we do not have to go out to search for it and thanks for that.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As far as disseminating info to outside, it is upto you. If I have it my way, I will have an ICANN African website and ut conent in there and send out the latest to people who are interested in Africa and ICANN.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>regards,</div>

As you know, Africann is an old list that has people who are interested in ICANN and that strated in 2000. We have private sector, governement, civil society academia and technical people on this list. Thus, the information that I send here is, I think, in general of concern to one or the other communities.
<br>Please let me know if:<br>- the information that you receive has been helpful?<br>- depending on your interest and other subscriptions, what type of information would you like to see more?<br>- how can I help you send input to all the requests on policy work from ICANN? --- for example the last one is a request for comments on the protection of registrants at:
<a href="http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-27jul07.htm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-27jul07.htm</a><br><br>Please check the following page:
<a href="http://public.icann.org/global-partnerships/aupac" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://public.icann.org/global-partnerships/aupac</a> , which is my colleague Save Vocea's. Some of the Regional managers have pages like that on the ICANN participation website. I would like you to have a look at it and let me know:
<br>- what type of content could I put there for the African community that would be of use?<br>- how interesting would a page like that be to you?<br>- would you really go look for the information there? or would you rather that I 'push' information to you via this list?
<br><br>I would appreciate any comments and input on how to make the African community more present in ICANN discussions.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<p><span lang="FR">Bonjour a Tous,<br><br>Je voudrais avoir votre opinion sur certaines des choses que moi-même et nous tous faisons pour servir la communauté. Comme vous le savez, Africann est une vieille liste dont les souscripteurs sont des personnes qui sont intéressées par ICANN et qui a commencée en 2000. Nous y avons représentés : le secteur privé, les gouvernements, le milieu universitaire, la société civile et le monde technique.
<br>Ainsi, les informations que j'envoie sur cette liste en général reflètent une préoccupation d'une ou des autres communautés. <br>Merci de me faire savoir si : <br>- les informations que vous recevez vous sont utiles?
<br>- selon votre intérêt et les autres abonnements que vous avez, quel type d'information aimez-vous voir en plus ? <br>- comment puis je vous aider à envoyer des commentaires à toutes demandes de commentaires sur le travail d'ICANN --par exemple le dernier appel à commentaires porte sur la protection des registrants:
<a href="http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-27jul07.htm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-27jul07.htm</a><br><br>Merci aussi de voir la page suivante :
<a href="http://public.icann.org/global-partnerships/aupac" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://public.icann.org/global-partnerships/aupac</a>, qui est celle de mon collègue SaveVocea. Certains des directeurs régionaux ont des pages comme celle ci sur le site Web de participation d'ICANN. Je voudrais que vous alliez la voir et me dire :
<br>- quel type de contenu je pourrais mettre là pour la communauté africaine qui serait utile? <br>- quel intérêt une page telle que celle la aurait pour vous ? <br>- iriez-vous vraiment recherchez les informations là ? ou préféreriez vous que je vous envoie les informations a travers African, AISI-l, AISI-G et les différentes listes africaines que nous avons?
<br><br>Merci de me donner tout avis que vous jugeriez utile pour que nous soyons vraiment présents dans les discussions ICANN.</span></p>-- <br>Anne-Rachel Inne <br><br></span></div>_______________________________________________
