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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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.

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<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hafedh Al yahmadi.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>International TIC expert <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>DG - CIC, tunis<o:p></o:p></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal>Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 23:29:12 +0200<br>From: <a href="mailto:ymshana2003@gmail.com" target="_blank">ymshana2003@gmail.com</a><br>To: <a href="mailto:africann@afrinic.net" target="_blank">africann@afrinic.net</a><br>Subject: Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] "Vint Cerf on ICANN and NTIA"<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Just to add a little...I think that we need to have 'ICANN School' or College in that matter to educate people in Internet Governance.
