<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style>Hello All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style>Regarding the AFRALO-AfrICANN joint meeting in
Toronto, the theme proposed by Mohamed Bashir on ICANN African Strategy and
seconded by many of us, is a very good and timely one.<span style> </span>However, as the ASWG is asking for inputs on
the same theme, for the same period and from the same community, I don’t think
it would be a good idea to run an almost parallel consultation on it.<span style> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style>Therefore, I would like to suggest for your
appreciation <span style> </span>“<b>the creation of a
development Fund” initiated by ICANN</b>, to support the developing countries’
active participation in the whole ICANN process and to facilitate their
integration in the Internet domain industry .<span style>
</span>This fund could be supported by other partners and its management style would
have to be defined</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style>Please provide your feed-back as soon as
possible and not later than Thursday 20 September 2012</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style>Thank you all and best regards,</span></p>
