My dear Brothers and Sisters,(can some one translate this liberally to<br>
other languages please? - I could have written in Swahili..)<br>
<br>
I am pleased to receive the solicitation for input to the Africa Strategic<br>
Plan. To me it is well over due - we have had NEPAD etc for this and that<br>
in the past.<br>
<br>
All in all, will all good intentions this is a positive move - I do not<br>
means that previous initiatives have failed but there seems to be a<br>
duplication in this initiative - ICANN had established Regional Focal<br>
Office at Policy level - is that history now?<br>
<br>
My problem comes to this:<br>
<br>
*>"The Working Group on Icann's strategy for Africa, which was established<br>
in Prague at ICANN 44 ....", <*<br>
<br>
How was the Working Group constituted? and how did the idea come up? To say<br>
the less, Not all Africans were at ICANN 44 meeting - I am sure I was not<br>
there - it seems that the culture of' self-selection' has become a norm or<br>
has overcome us Africans? At lease there should have been a 'Selection<br>
Procedure' for the Working Group - it is not a matter of Africans was<br>
there in Prague who constitute all African voice or does it? I object to<br>
this if I may...<br>
<br>
It is good to read that the WG....<br>
<br>
*"... is administering the attached questionnaire as an additional meAs you<br>
probably know, the Working Group is expected to deliver its preliminary<br>
findings and report outlines prior to ICANN 45 in Toronto"*<br>
<br>
This sounds very good for a 'nominated Working Group' but here comes a<br>
point where the issue of selecting become a major concern in terms of<br>
representation...<br>
<br>
"....* collecting Africans' needs with regards to Icann's specific roles in<br>
Africa, and africa's overall contribution to ICANN."*<br>
* *<br>
We need to have a representative and inclusive process for this procedure -<br>
I could respond to the questionnaire because I accessed it. That does not<br>
mean that all Africans have access to it - the outreach of Mobile<br>
Telephony is unique in Africa - was this message sent out through that<br>
media? At least I did not receive one - that is why I am raising this<br>
question.<br>
<br>
Lastly, it not about what ICANN should do to Africa - it should be what<br>
should Africans to for ICANN since the ICANN we know needs Africa to be<br>
more actively represented!<br>
<br>
I wish to stop by asking us to avoid representing Africa without Africans<br>
knowing about it.<br>
<br>
In that case, could the Questionnaire be posted widely including mobile<br>
phone messages please?<br>
<br>
I mean good for all, and please note that I am a supporter of all positive<br>
initiatives for Africa!!<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Yassin<br>
