Please, get serious.<br><br>The African Union comes from the OAU which was started in 1963. That<br>was 49 years ago. Just shy of half a century, two and a half<br>generations ago. Yet, still begging for donor funds. Enough to make me<br>puke. This is the typical incompetent, idiotic agenda of people<br>raised without a clue; "Let's blame the donors instead of asking<br>ourselves why we do not focus on generating our own funds."<br><br>Are you telling me that there is not enough surplus cash in the whole<br>continent to fund the AU?<br><br>That is one of the major problems in Africa. Instead of looking to<br>stand on our own feet, we go whine about our poverty and hope that<br>someone gives us money. That is not proactive. If this list wants to<br>speak about the African IT agenda (or whatever you want to call it)<br>with ICANN then be proactive and stop moaning about how much money you<br>need. Focus on what we can
