<div>I do not see your response as a proposal, instead an information that you are supplying as to who and what will be done from your own perspective and af*. <br> </div>
<div>While all of af* may be mandated to promote development of ICT and free expression as you said, there should not be doors closed on any new initiative and 'dot.africa' is one such intiative we have started long before af* that promotes the same. We intend to pursue it as is, give that af* do not want to work with us.
<br> </div>
<div>Finally, please note that <a href="mailto:'support.dotafrica@gmail.com">'support.dotafrica@gmail.com</a> is associated with the dot.africa initiative that we have launched and I am not sure why it should be referred as 'foreign'.

<div>Thank you.</div>
