On empowering our comrades within the continent, we should not only<br>
focus on ICANN. We should focus on the bigger picture of Internet<br>
Governance, to which ICANN is a small subset. A great beginning is the<br>
ISOC's Next Generation Leaders online training which is holistic,<br>
giving great perspectives on where we have come from, the current<br>
landscape, and all actors in the space, ICANN included. I am sure the<br>
NEPAD online training will be just as enriching. An ICANN fellowship<br>
would not be enough without understanding the bigger picture of IG.<br>
<br>
Of course the biggest winner in all this is Self Drive and Interest<br>
from newcomers from Africa<br>
