<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This may out of scope for this list since
the topic is about ICT. This list is about Africans in ICANN, I understood.
Nonetheless if we restrict ourselves to Internet and next generation
networks, one might suggest you talk to AfREN (AAU) [Research Netwroks],
AfriNIC, AfTLD [Internet Infrastructure] and AfNOG [operator technical
capacity] for starters</FONT></DIV>

<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif">Dear
all,<BR><BR>I am writing to ask for your help with a consultancy I am doing
for the African Union (AU). Specifically, I am looking for information
and contacts with regards to a paper I am preparing on ICT capacity-building
and research and development (R&D) in African countries. I would
thus appreciate documents, reports, Web sites, and information about ICT
capacity-building and R&D activities in African countries. Please
note that this is a continent-wide survey, so send me information and contacts
(especially names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) you can provide for
any country in Africa.<BR><BR>I should also mention that this is an informal
solicitation for a start, and I will work the relevant AU staff to send out a
more official request for information.<BR><BR>Finally, please pardon me for
the cross-posting on different mailing lists.<BR><BR>Have a great weekend, and
best wishes!<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>Katim<BR><BR></DIV><BR>
