All the best to dotAfrica!<br>
<br>
More communication about this trusted Internet space for the whole Africa is<br>
always welcome.<br>
<br>
We can’t wait to start using it!<br>

Ps. More outreach campaigns are needed to let Africans well understand the<br>
importance of domain names for the local content Internet development.<br>
