Hi<br><br>I think there is room for mutual understanding on that issue. Do not<br>agree to disagree right now, it's too early and it's an important issue.<br><br>Have all a good day.<br><br>Ken Lohento<br><br>Sophia B a écrit :
<br>> Dear Pierre -<br>><br>> Yes, I approached you at the Lisbon meeting and shared<br>> your presentation ahead of time and your took note of the governance<br>> structure and said that was what was missing in your proposals. I
<br>> suppose that one you have not fully developed yet.<br>><br>> I am surprised that you have never heard of what I was doing based on<br>> that, and when you have yourself announced at the Afri-ICANN meeting
<br>> that there were two initiatives on the ground and for lack of time, I<br>> cannot preset mine. I believe there were over 15 people in the room.<br>><br>> I am glad to note that the discussion is generating a lot of interest
<br>> finally from everyone. It appears you folks were sleeping on it and<br>> seem to get caught up now.<br>><br>> While I have appreciated the model you discussed , I did not feel it<br>> has the strength, so I suggested my own. It is a free world we live
<br>> in right! This does not mean I am to willing to work with you. We<br>> just have to agree to disagree. Like I said the project is for Africa.<br>> Hope that clarifies any misunderstanding<br>> Cheers.

<br>> tricky that some of us whom you approached some time ago, no<br>> longer heard of this, especially when you were told that the AF*<br>> (Afnog, Afrinic, Aftlds, Afren,Aftld..) have been working on a dot
<br>> Africa model. You were asked to join forces and avoid duplication<br>> and you promised!<br>><br>><br>><br>> It is fine to respond that the dot Africa is (will be?) owned by<br>> the African people, but one should go beyond this response and
