<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div>Thank you Sarah for sending out this call. My suggestion: </div><div><br></div><div>We discuss how we can improve and understand how the new TLD’s can have a direct impact on our social welfare. We still don't understand the impact or appreciate the importance of having more gTLD's especially as Africans because of a number of obvious reasons. Not realizing this might have an impact on us in the years to come when they are all gone and we realized we missed out on this opportunity.</div><div>To understand its impact and penetration requires a cost and benefits analysis which can be done by ICANN and presented in a more friendly manner while encouraging our registers to enlight the public more. The truth is poverty and lack of amenities is a serious issue for us and the best way we understand new things is to see how they have a direct impact on our day to day well-being. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Abdulkarim</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-09-10 17:12 GMT+01:00 Sarah Kiden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skiden@gmail.com" target="_blank">skiden@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><p style="font-family:-webkit-standard;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-size:18px"><span class="m_3509407019530969806s2" style="line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-weight:bold">English</span></p><p style="font-family:-webkit-standard;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-size:18px"><span style="line-height:21.600000381469727px"> </span></p><p style="font-family:-webkit-standard;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-size:18px"><span style="line-height:21.600000381469727px">Dear Colleagues,</span></p><p style="font-family:-webkit-standard;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-size:18px"><span style="line-height:21.600000381469727px"> </span></p><p style="font-family:-webkit-standard;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;line-height:21.600000381469727px;font-size:18px"><span style="line-height:21.600000381469727px">I hope this email finds you well.
