<p dir="ltr">@Dr Yassin I had sent the message below as a pm to Hafedh, now sharing on the list. Perhaps it can be a response to the concern of getting more educated about ICANN. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello Hafedh,<br><br></div>Could you perhaps explain further on why you think ICANN running certification programs like CISCO et all will help improve understanding and participation in ICANN processes? Perhaps it will help to first understand the motive for certification in the first place vis the role of ICANN. All ICANN does is provide service and because of its strategic role on the internet, there is need to ensure that it provides its service efficiently. This is where accountability, participation et all comes into play; you don't need certification to participate and learn within the community; what you need is intentional interest to participate through getting involved in the community.<br>
<br></div>As to outreaches, ICANN, and the region RIR are sure making effort to get people more people involved, nevertheless i agree that those efforts needs to increase. ICANN is quite large community and can be really challenging to understand all its processes, but it also has a great community of people who are willing to explain things to you and then you as an individual will decide which of those information to ponder upon.<br>
<br></div><div>Internet governance has become an important imperative and i hope ICANN and other organisation would continue to support initiative geared towards establishing school of internet governance in the region.<br>

<div><div dir="ltr"><br><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here are some insights when it comes
to Internet governance trainings and capacity building in Africa. Although
internet outreach is still a big issue in Africa, I see two critical outreach
engines for Africans to boost skills development and capacity building about internet governance and the core values
of ICANN as well as the technical skills such IPv6 and DNSSEC, Root Server, etc
. First, a breadth engine is required to maximize the outreach
carrying out the primary ICANN school content like the principles, definitions
and all content for new comers and ordinary audiences, Second the depth engine
which should target an upper level advanced audience where trainings are more
in depth about internet governance such what does mean transparency, human
rights in internet, neutrality of the net, and advanced level on IPv6 deployment,
whta's ICANN accountability means in the transition period, etc ... I
would even suggest an ICANN certification Program, a kind of international
accredited institution, like CISCO, Microaoft or oracle academy!! Last and not
least, when reading this discussion, I jumped on my chair cause the subject is
so vibrant and relevant to reshape the future of internet governance in Africa.
Education and training is the force of the future, I have been engaged on this subject since a while as part of my
engineering concerns on internet, I have
gathered a set of data, content, I shared feedbacks with some ICANN friends, etc
.. let’s get together to share thoughts
and ideas, its important to reanimate
such a great debate for a concrete plan or action</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hafedh Al yahmadi.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">International TIC expert </span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

There is enough misinformation in the air right now....that is why I would like to suggest so since the Internet nerds a specific and special approach to its global existence and reach at the moment.....I would not be comfortable with some suggestions since 'Trust and Truth' are a very hard Currency to trade on ..<br>
