Fellow Africanns,<div><br></div><div>With all due respect, I wish to share my observations as a son of this blessed Continent as follows:</div><div><br></div><div><ol><li>Dot-Africa is an initiative and has to originate from somewhere and this time it was within Africans (an individual as it is so claimed)</li>
<li>Dot-Africa project was presented to Africans through a Commission and somewhere/somehow during the process a discussion ensued where varied opinions were aired (it is a process therefore that is unavoidable)</li><li>It is surprising to read this letter to Ms Bekele from AUC, the content of which indicates that there has been a major change in Thinking.which may have effect on the entrepreneurship component of dot Africa.</li>
<li>I find that, the Open Process mentioned in the letter from the Deputy Chairperson needed to be described to us</li><li>Meanwhile, it seems that the practical side of business investment may have been affected by this 'change in consideration/endorsement' .....I have to ask at this point what Process took place to cause this reverse? </li>
<li>In addition, should there an 'Open Process' , my I humbly ask What Policy Process shall this 'Process' should be adhered to? or rather, do we have a Policy Development Process for this process?</li><li>
I am not sure who to address this to because the matter should concern the Global Internet Policy - has there been a Despute Resolution Process as per the ICANN processes?</li><li>Meanwhile, I can see a business image being a victim of this Process mentioned in the published letter .</li>
<li>I declare that I wish to see dot Africa proceed with the business it has explored with acknowledgement of the AUC or rather AU</li><li>Finally, I wish to request to the Minutes of the Meeting that was called to Change the Endorsement which may stop a global business based on the Internet to proceed after an investment has been made with good faith.</li>
</ol><div>I presume that my observations will be considered /interpreted to be developmental as intended to promote Internet-based business in Africa and the World.</div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to a response from the responsible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div><br></div><div>Dr Yassin Mshana </div><div>(ex ICANN-ccNSO Council -Africa 2004-05)</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 November 2010 13:46, Nii Narku Quaynor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:quaynor@ghana.com">quaynor@ghana.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
