I believe that ICT Policies is the foundation because ICANN is not
a levitating Organisation. Its Constituents are made by
individuals from different countries. Therefore individuals
serving in ICANN must have joined the organisation with something
from home country to contribute! that "thing" is policy in
addition to good intention.
<div>In that case country ICT policy is important to have had.
Does each country possess one?</div>

<div>Shall we begin by looking whether each country has an
uptodate ICT Policy? If now how can they be encouraged to
craft one? I ll be ready to put energy into that. This is
especially on policy that encourage Private Sector

<div>Colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As you must have noticed, the discussions in the last
weeks only turned out to be a ping pong party between 2 or 3
people. Of course, others, be they elders, pioneers,
youngsters and babies (!) could not find any interest in the
debate..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another Bantu (Aka) proverbs states that 'When you open
your mouth in public to address people, make sure you are
concise, to the point and not too long! For if you fail to
do this, you might make your audience turn away and leave
you alone in the circle!!'</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thus, may I suggest we just concentrate on a few simple
and doable things which make a difference in the development
of Africa's Internet ecosystem?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>May we share those information, documents and facts that
are of interest to us all ? May we showcase those
successes/and failures which show individual countries are
moving ahead in building their own Internet environment?</div>
