Africa strategy which was presented in Toronto (ICANN 45) has now
entered its implementation phase with the adoption of an action plan
covering the rest of ICANN's fiscal year (FY13) ending on June 2013. <br><br>The action plan derived from the Africa strategy, will
help implement a series of seven (7) priority
projects , including ICANN's further engagement with I*, particularly the African Internet related Organizations and businesses, an all Africa
workshop on the DNS industry, a DNSSEC roadshow, the ICANN academy, the
ambassador programme , the incubator programme for DNS industry and
business development. The latter will be launched
in July 2013 (FY14), together with another series of projects.
<br><br>Implementation of the work plan will require strategic partnerships with
other institutions active in the field , and will rely on African and foreign expertise.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards<br><br></div><div>Pierre Dandjinou<br></div><div>VP, Africa<br></div></div></div><br clear="all">
