<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div>Greetings from Sénégal.</div><div>+1 <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="plusReplyChip-1" href="mailto:otieno.barrack@gmail.com" tabindex="-1">@Barrack Otieno</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>According to my knowledge, the establishment of the .tg naming charter was discussed at length and collegially with representatives of the private sector and civil society and universities under the leadership of representatives of the Regulatory Authority (formerly ART & P now ARCEP-Togo). Discussions lasted for several, as did the redelegation process which took nearly 6 years of discussions to come to fruition. The former Administrative and Technical Manager (the private company CAFE INFORMATIQUE ET TELECOMMUNICATIONS) is maintained as Technical Manager and the Regulatory Authority has become the new Administrative Manager of .tg. In reality, we had therefore come to an agreement on the content of this charter that we developed together. The problem remains the establishment of an inclusive management body for the ccTLD .tg by a NIC-Togo (Network Informaton Center) still fictitious. So this is not yet the case despite the accreditation of several other Registrars in addition to the Technical Manager. All this has led the Togolese chapter of ISOC to express reservations and refuse to validate the process. Indeed, we believe that it set up an inclusive NIC for a good management of the ccTLD, it is a practice considered as the best.</div><div><br></div><div> My two cents</div><div>Olévié.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le mer. 25 nov. 2020 à 06:11, Aboubacar Abdou <<a href="mailto:aboubacar.abdou@anrtic.km">aboubacar.abdou@anrtic.km</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">merci de votre information<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">*Aboubacar Abdou*<br><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><i>Département </i></span><i style="font-size:12.8px">Système d'Information & Innovation Technologique</i><div>Portable: +269 3412655 / +269 4412655</div></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Site Perso:aboubacar<a href="http://bassam.anrtic.km/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">.anrtic.km</a></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">=================================</div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B4HEIYgqry-3SDlMT3Z0d3YtTDQ&revid=0B4HEIYgqry-3VXByVjlOcnp3dGp6SkQ5VW1UTUk2MTI5VXFJPQ" width="96" height="34"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><font size="2">Autorité Nationale de Régulation des TIC</font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">BP: 6540, Oasis-Moroni, Union des Comores</div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Tel: +269 773 87 61 / Fax: +269 773 87 62</div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">Web: <a href="http://www.anrtic.km/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">www.anrtic.km</a> <a href="http://fb.me/anrtic.km" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">fb.me/anrtic.km</a></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px">=================================</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div id="gmail-m_8274275264968524196mt-signature">

It is for this reason that multistakeholderism based approaches are recommended when it comes to the Management of Country Code Top Level Domain Registries. Ideally there should be a local process in which such as issue is debated and 'rough' consensus obtained as a win win to all stake players in the local Internet Community. Having said that, i would like to Invite you to Workshop 9 at the Africa Internet Governance Forum for this and more on ccTLDs and Internet Governance in Africa from 9 - 10 GMT.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 8:21 AM Arsène Tungali <<a href="mailto:arsenebaguma@gmail.com" target="_blank">arsenebaguma@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Emmanuel Vitus</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:emmanuelvitus@gmail.com" target="_blank">emmanuelvitus@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Nov 25, 2020, 1:48 AM<br>Subject: [AfriSIG-Alumni] Operational best practices regarding the attribution of ccTLD domain names<br>To: African School on Internet Governance Alumni list <<a href="mailto:afrisig-alumni@lists.apc.org" target="_blank">afrisig-alumni@lists.apc.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(11,83,148)"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm">Hi everyone,</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"> (apologies for cross-posting)<font face="arial, sans-serif"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm"><font face="arial, sans-serif">I hope you are staying safe and healthy through these unusual times!
