<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri">On January 13, The
Africa team hosted a webinar on IANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN
Accountability. The webinar targeted the Africa community and was open to all. A
total of 20 participants joined the call including representatives from the
various CWGs namely Mohamed El Bashir (ICG), Seun Ojedeji (CWG on naming) and Tijani
Ben Jemaa (CCWG-accountability) who together with ICANN’s Theresa Swinehart
were the speakers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri">After welcome remarks
from Pierre, Theresa , in her presentation, gave an overview and status of the
two work streams on IANA Stewardship and on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
while noting the tremendous progress that has been made by the two broad
groups. She encouraged the participants and greater Africa community to get
fully involved in the processes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri">The rest of the
speakers also gave overviews of the current status of their CWGs while Mohamed
El Bashir highlighted the main role of the ICG noting that the ICG will receive
and consolidate the proposals from the 3 CWGs before forwarding to the NTIA via
the ICANN Board. This only after ensuring that the proposal meets the criteria set
out by the NTIA.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Calibri">Main questions raised
included an evaluation of Africa’s participation in the processes so far; while
Seun reported that the CWG on naming will not meet the Jan 2015 deadline in
submitting their proposal to the ICG , Tijani called for more African
participation in the CCWG on Accountability, observing that very few are taking
part in the historic process. </span></p>

to organize targeted webinars to the various stakeholder groups in Africa on a regular
