strategy<br>3-The ICANN Africa strategy has nothing to do with our<br>national/regional ICT strategies which a few of us have been
helping<br>African countries develop these last years<br>4-Thus, your inputs are important for the outlines to be delivered to<br>ICANN in the specified timeline (end of September/early October)<br>5-Finally, this is not the end of it , as sessions have been planned<br>to futher discuss the strategy in Totonto, .and also online.<br><br>So, what is requested NOW is that we go through the posted documents,<br>concentrate on the strategic Objectives, propose your owm priority<br>list and provide further comments and recommendations if any, to help<br>cover all Africans' needs in the ICANN Africa Strategy for coming<br>three years..<br><br>I hope this clarifies..<br>Regards<br>Pierre<br><br>-- <br>Pierre Dandjinou<br>Cotonou - 229 90 087784 / 66566610<br>Dakar 221 77 639 30 41<br>www.scg.bj<br>skype : sagbo1953<br>_______________________________________________<br>AfrICANN mailing list<br><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:AfrICANN@afrinic.net"
