<div>Hello Tim et all, I am having a problem with the Statement below:</div>
<div><strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div><strong><em>"If you see the matter as I do, that ICANN has asked that governmental<br>and/or intergovernmental entities weigh in on new gTLDs that have a<br>geographic scope,<u> it is perfectly reasonable</u> to have the AU involved</em></strong>."<br>
<br>The issue here is that, was a concensus or even consultations to involve the AU or AUC in any case? <That is what culminates to abuse and manipulations I referred to><br><br>You say, "<u><em>It is perfectly reasonable</em></u>" by Who? You, or Africans who were not consulted?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please ...it is matter of principle - It is surprising to sede the AUC being dragged along without checking what the Political body is being put into. That is where misleading took place OR maybe the advisory to the AUC are part na d parcel of the whole act? If so, I for one need to know as I would not accept to see Africans denied of their voices on issues which are important to Africa.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yassin</div>
<div>Kind regards</div>
