                        Your points resonate with me and I think they lay a foundation for improvement for Africa's place in ICANN. I have been participating in ICANN for a decade in the Business Constituency and I do not see Africans there. Most Africans are either in AL and GAC with a few in Technical Community and IR. This is reflected in the ASWG composition. At some point we need to review ALL constituencies, SOs, ACs of ICANN and make sure that we are participative everywhere rather than being only where some people expect us to be.</div>
                <div>
                        &nbsp;</div>
                <div>
                        I respect the contribution of the volunteers on the ASWG though and wish them well.</div>

                                        <span>I want to share my thoughts on the vexing issue of the composition of the ASWG. &nbsp;In the first place, I think its unfortunate that this very important question has been mingled with the DCA issue.</span></div>

                                        <span>That said, I do not think it helps to brush the important question aside and say that we should move on, simply because we need to. &nbsp;Simply shouting people down won't help us, and won't make issues go away either. &nbsp;</span><span style="background-color: transparent; ">I would have expected a more robust and substantive response to the question of representation on the ASWG than what has been proffered so far. &nbsp;Specifically, I expected that the ASWG would be composed of African representatives in the various ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs), along with Africans on the ICANN Board. &nbsp;After all, these are people who represent us in these entities, and as such would, in my opinion, be the most effective in deliberating on, and delivering our concerns to ICANN's leadership and community. &nbsp;And I think the bulk of them were there in Prague. &nbsp;Even if it would have been too cumbersome to have all of them on the ASWG, I would have suggested that they meet over the matter, and choose who among themselves would be on the ASWG.</span></div>

                                        But all that is water under the bridge. &nbsp;We now have the reality that the ASWG is formed, and they are at work. &nbsp;What remains now is to provide them our full support to ensure they are successful in their task. &nbsp;But we must also learn from the lesson provided by how they were formed. &nbsp;I think our reps in various ICANN SOs and ACs should get together to draw up an MOU or something along those lines to spell out how we, as an African community, can develop policies and positions in the common interest. &nbsp;For a start, I suggest the matter be included in the agenda for the Toronto AFRALO-AFRICANN meeting.</div>

                                                                        Thanks for the reply. I think if we stick to the policy issues and not personalise posts. &nbsp;We will get back to having open balanced discussions on the list. The issue of DCA in my book has been overblown and it is time for all to move on. &nbsp; Most of us post under our individual capacity unless we explicitly stress that the views we are sharing are those of our organisation. &nbsp;I think that way we get real debates and share diverse views. &nbsp;</div>
