<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;">Hi ALL!!<br><br>A big and essential talking point here Victor : "Strengthening our national and regional IGFs</span>". Incresasing participation of people from civil society, bank, lawyer, economist can help us reach some goals like development of domain name industry. Internet industry will be developed by people coming from business. We need to talk to them!! And why not thinking for IGFs on a standard model of agenda or schedule for all countries and region; this can facililate to collect outputs in order to build african policies on higher level.<br><br>Regards!<br><br>Mamadou<br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ndonnang@isoc-cameroon.org<br>To: africann@afrinic.net; ndonnang@nvconsulting.biz<br>Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:15:32 -0400<br>Subject: RE: [AfrICANN-discuss] "Africa and ICANN "<br>CC: <br><br><style><!--

We cannot pretend to participate at a global level and have an influence on Internet policies at the global level when nothing is done at the national or regional level. Strengthening our national and regional IGFs moving forward will be key in the process…And as you said intra-continent initiatives (Africans helping Africans) are important too. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;">Let’s do our homework…More doing, less talking!</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;">Best regards,</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;">Victor.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";" lang="FR">De :</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";" lang="FR"> africann-bounces@afrinic.net [mailto:africann-bounces@afrinic.net] <b>De la part de</b> ymshana2003<br><b>Envoyé :</b> Monday, July 28, 2014 2:24 AM<br><b>À :</b> Victor Ndonnang; 'AfrICANN list'<br><b>Objet :</b> RE: [AfrICANN-discuss] "Africa and ICANN "</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal">Greetings and happy Eid to thise who celebrate.</p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal">Victor et al...</p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal">It is true a lot has been going on and moving forward fast considering the situation.
