<div><br></div><div>I am not sure, personally, that this "event" is going to achieve anything, other than that the usual suspects get (travel) funding. I for one can not see why for example a (Namibian) business would want to waste money and a whole week time, to listen to a re-hash by mediocre speakers (me of course excluded, if I were to make if :-)-O) of stuff that is well known and of no application in practice.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We have through this before, .NA is the first ccTLD to do DNSSec and if I am not mistaken only one other has managed themselves (.UG) the other(s) running outsourced on US infrastructure.</div><div><br>
</div><div>For example, of the five Namibian banks that could theoretically be interested, the two biggest feel that HTTPS is all they need, never mind that the biggest bank lets their certificate(s) expire every year. The other three don't correspond at all, which means they don't care or/and understand.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But, so what? It's not my problem. They run the business. They have the "experts". Even if they meed 300 Indians in a bunker to fix the daily occurring problems the moving from a perfectly working system to an Indian product which is nothing but a mess (front- and back-end). </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I feel we need to look at a real bottom up approach. Even if it is difficult to even find the managers of African ccTLDs, let alone correspond with them, or build capacity, this shotgun approach is not going to work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We need to get the Registers fixed (automated) and this implies business skills, such as answering emails and issuing receipts. So that ccTLDs become viable. </div><div><br></div><div>One a a time...</div>
