From ernest at afrinic.net Mon Jan 16 13:59:15 2006 From: ernest at afrinic.net (Ernest, B.M (AfriNIC - ZA)) Date: Wed Nov 8 07:55:19 2006 Subject: [afrinic-discuss] AfriNIC to start allocating from 41/8 Message-ID: <43CB8A93.9080801@afrinic.net> Dear Colleagues, As you may be aware, AfriNIC received a 41/8 block from IANA in April 2005. With effect from February 2006, all IPv4 address space allocated within the AfriNIC service region will be made from 41/8. The 196/8 block previously used for allocations in AfriNIC service region will now be used only for direct end-user (PI) assignments. This is therefore a notice that any filters you have may need appropriate adjustments. Kind regards, Ernest, AfriNIC. From eric at afrispa.org Tue Jan 31 09:03:55 2006 From: eric at afrispa.org (Eric Osiakwan) Date: Wed Nov 8 07:55:20 2006 Subject: [afrinic-discuss] Announcing "UNGANA IXBase" Message-ID: <200601310903.AA716768258@afrispa.org> Dear all, We are pleased to announce AfrISPA's first software application. This application is an outcome from the African IXP Research Project which has been funded by IDRC to come up with systems and methodology to collect, store and analyse African Internet Exchange statistics. The software is called UNGANA IXBase. =EF=BF=BCUNGANA is a Swahili word that means "connect" and "join together" = - other meanings of the word are: -ungana { English: combine } verb , -ungana { English: fit together } verb , -ungana { English: join together } [derived: unga V] verb , -ungana { English: mix together } verb , -ungana { English: connect } [derived: unga V] verb , -ungana { English: unite } [derived: unga V] verb , In essence the software helps IXPs have a common point at which to store traffic statistics with a central system to enable analysis and reporting on collected data. This tool will among other things help ISPs determine among others: The rate of growth in the routing table. The rate of growth in IP address space. The rate of growth in Internet traffic. The degree of interconnectedness of networks. The relative volume of traffic flowing locally and internationally. The software will be launched at the First African Internet Exchange Research Workshop which takes place in Nairobi on the 2nd & 3rd of February 2006 at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies. This workshop will be attended by representatives from 9 African countries that have Internet Exchange Points and will provide them with the software and equipment to set up data collection nodes at each of their IXPs. UNGANA IXBase is an open-source software and has it's ongoing development coordinated via SourceForge.net. Each participating exchange point is encouraged to invite the local network engineers and developers to join in and contribute towards making UNGANA serve Africa and the world better. Please join with us not only to celebrate this achievement but to help us build it better. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Brian Longwe and Mike Kwatampora of Inhand LTD who took leadership in the core development. Attached is a Press Release which announces the first African IX Research Workshop.

After 15 days, the proposed policies above will be forwarded to the AfriNIC Board for review. All your comments should be sent to policy-wg@afrinic.net This last call will expire 15 days from today. A summary of the face-to-face discussions for each of the above proposals during the AfriNIC-3 meeting is below: o Temporary Address Assignments / Assignments for Critical network/internet infrastructure http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/afpol-tmpal200504.htm - Concerns about 3.2 (Commercial Use Prohibited) : This would be difficult to justify by AfriNIC and may involve some legal issues. Suggestion was to delete the whole of 3.2 from the document. - Questions as to why a temporary assignment cannot be obtained from the upstream ISP? Answer was that some ISPs will argue not to have enough IPs to assign, and that its good practice for all temporary assignments to come from an RIR block reserved for this purpose. Other answers were that various upstreams reserve their prefixes for different products/services, and may not have a prefix ready for temporary use. It was agreed that policy be passed only if AfriNIC can reserve a large block for this purpose. - Temporary assignments are vulnerable to hi-jacking, especially when some one 'keeps an eye' on the temporary assignment and knows its not in use anymore, they will start using these IPs. Other comments: whole prefix would be listed as bogus, hence the need for the RIR to allot another prefix for temporary assignments. ** Concensus was realized (pending suggested edits) o Policy for PI/Direct Assignments to End-User Organisations http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/afpol-v4eu200504.htm - the minimum /24 assignments may have an impact on the global routing table. other comments; the routing table is already so saturated that such small assignmenst wouldnt have such a noticeable effect. - APNIC also stated that the minimum is /24 in their region. - Some people suggested a similar proposal for IPv6. - replace 5.0, ICANN-sanctioned root, gTLD, and ccTLD .. with specifics. TLDs were not deemed critical infrastructure by some, and only IXPs and root servers were proposed. ** Policy realized concensus. o Change to criteria for ASN assignments http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/drafts/afpol-chgasn200508.htm ** No discussion, policy realized concensus. o IPv6 IANA to RIR allocations http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/drafts/afpol-glbipv6200508.htm ** No discussion, policy realized concensus. Please send all your comments to policy-wg@afrinic.net within 15 days from the date of this last call.

Starting tomorrow, they will establish four country-code domains. In addition to the current dot-cn, they will offer Chinese character versions of dot-China, dot-net, and dot-com. As one article puts it, this "means Internet users don't have to surf the Web via the servers under the management of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the United States." Coverage from China is at http://english.people.com.cn/200602/28/eng20060228_246712.html I've got some quick commentary at which includes: "The alternate root has always lurked in the background as a possibility that would force everyone to rethink their positions since it would enable a single country (or group of countries) to effectively pack up their bags and start a new game. The U.S. control would accordingly prove illusory since a new domain name system situated elsewhere would be subject to its own rules. While the two could theoretically co-exist by having ISPs simply recognize both roots, the system could "break" if both roots contained identical extensions. In other words, one root can have dot-com and other other can have dot-corp, but they can't both have dot-com. It is with that background in mind that people need to think about a press release issued yesterday in China announcing a revamping of its Internet domain name system. Starting tomorrow, China's Ministry of Information Industry plans to begin offering four country-code domains. In addition to the dot-cn country code domain, three new Chinese character domains are on the way: dot-China, dot-net, and dot-com. As the People's Daily Online notes this "means Internet users don't have to surf the Web via the servers under the management of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the United States." In other words, the Chinese Internet becomes a reality tomorrow. With it, the rules of the game may change as 110 million Internet users will suddenly have access to a competing dot-com (albeit in a different character set) and will no longer rely exclusively on ICANN for the resolution of Internet domain name queries. This change was probably inevitable regardless of the status of ICANN, however, the U.S. position can't possibly have helped matters. Indeed, some might note that while Congress has been criticizing U.S. companies for cooperating with Chinese law enforcement and thereby harming Internet freedoms, those same Congressional leaders may have done the same by refusing to even consider surrendering some control over the Internet root to the international community and thereby opening the door to an alternate root that could prove even worse from a freedom perspective. This week's announcement certainly doesn't mark the end of a global interoperable Internet. It does move one step further toward that path since in Internet governance terms, the credible threat is now real."

The African Internet Forum provides an annual platform for ISPs, telecom operators, Internet users, developers, regulators, policy-makers and development agencies to share knowledge on the strategic and business issues related to the Internet?s development in Africa. The Forum is held under the auspices of the African ISP Association (AfrISPA) and is organized by AITEC in association with Balancing Act. The theme of this year?s Forum will be ?Survival of the fittest: How to thrive in the African Internet jungle? Announcing the Forum, Russell Southwood CEO of Balancing Act and the forum programme co-ordinator, said: ?Africa?s Internet sector is simultaneously facing challenges that could make many of its players more marginal, whilst at the same time seeing enormous potential opportunities opening up for it. This Internet Forum seeks to let participants know what might be about to happen and to offer a briefing on how to avoid being crushed by the larger players.? Brian Longwe, GM of AfrISPA, said ?Time has come for Africa?s Internet community to take their futures ? and livelihoods ? into their own hands. For too long Africa has been dependent on overseas infrastructure and facilities to provide inter-country (and sometimes intra-country) connectivity. A key item on this year Internet Forum agenda will be the issue of Africa?s ISPs finding ways of making the African backbone network a reality? The Forum will follow the Internet training workshops, tutorials and related events being held by AfriNIC and AfNOG in Nairobi in May. AfNOG and AfriNIC are jointly organizing a two-week event that includes the AfNOG Workshop on Network Technology (offering advanced training in a week-long hands-on workshop), several half-day Tutorials, a one-day AfNOG meeting, and a two-day AfriNIC meeting.

This is the first time AfNOG organizers have heard of the AIF and wish all to know that AfNOG is not part of the AIF activities. The announced activity also conflicts with scheduled coordinated programs including ISOC INET Africa day on the 18th of May in Nairobi. We consider this announcement as an unfortunate attempt to hijack an event without playing a part nor coordinating with event organizers. And to mention AfNOG as part of AIF is outright dishonest even under the auspices of AfrISPA.

Primarily their interest is driven by the value of content that they locate which is relevant to their lives and business. According to Mr. Muriuki Mureithi of Summit Strategies who authored the report on behalf of AfrISPA, it was intriguing to realize that even in the semi-rural areas the interest of most small medium enterprises who could afford the Internet was content; they asked the question ?would I find relevant material on the Internet which would aid the growth of my business??. For them it was not just enough to use the Internet to communicate but they also wanted to see how it fits into their business processes for growth. Further the position of the lack of African content on the Internet was expressed by some of the constituents interviewed in the study. Launching the report, Mr. William Stucke, Chairman of AfrISPA expressed AfrISPA?s interest in identifying other mechanism for stimulating Internet growth on the continent hence the series of position papers being undertaken with support from the Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa Programme (CATIA @ www.catia.ws). He outlined the ten point recommendations of the study and emphasised the one that asks AfrISPA members and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Africa to give a free webpage or weblog (blog) to all their clients as well as develop simple web publishing tools to help them publish their content. The main objective of this position paper it to make the case for Africans to move from being consumers to producers of content that is relevant to their livelihoods and business. The culture of generating, process and publishing content in Africa is so lacking that if we don?t take a strategic step to deal with it, all the Internet pipes that are being built would lack the relevant content for our socio-economic development. Earlier, Mr. Eric M.K Osiakwan secretary of AfrISPA announced in his presentation that Africa now has fifteen Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and twelve ISP Associations (ISPAs) however current efforts with other regional institutions would result in the establishment of ten more ISPAs and IXPs in 2006 with a projection of that to double in 2007. He emphasised that the growth of these exchanges is based on content and vice versa so the establishment of IXPs and the culture of developing and publishing content must go hand in hand.

This Advisory Group will assist the Secretary General in convening the Internet Governance Forum, and is comprised of representatives from governments, the private sector and civil society. The Group will prepare the agenda and programme for the first meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which is to be held in Athens from 30 October to 2 November, 2006. The selection of two members of the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Executive Council signifies the important contribution the NRO plays in the Internet community and also reflects the integral role of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) system in Internet operations.

Kind regards, AfriNIC www.afrinic.net From eric at afrispa.org Wed Sep 13 16:04:04 2006 From: eric at afrispa.org (Eric Osiakwan) Date: Wed Nov 8 07:55:21 2006 Subject: [afrinic-discuss] An EASSy debt for Africa Message-ID: <200609131604.AA56100550@afrispa.org> An EASSy debt for Africa By Eric M.K Osiakwan Visiting Fellow and Scholar, DV Program, Stanford University On the 29th of August 2006, seven (7) Southern and Eastern African countries signed the Inter-Governmental Protocol of the Inter-Government Authority (IGA) of the East and Southern African Submarine System (EASSy) which is the governmental framework through the New Partnership for Africa?s Development (NEPAD) within which the cable is going to be owned, built and operated. The protocol, which is the outcome of an African led consultative process, mandates that the EASSy cable has an African majority ownership. The current proposal for the cable is a combination of debt and equity financing of 70% against 30% for the total cost of three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000). The question must be asked why do we want to saddle Africa with another debt if the business proposition of the cable is viable? The NEPAD E-Africa Commission, which is facilitating this process with the government?s mandate to have an African majority ownership of the cable based on an Open Access structure, must consider my proposal not to accrue debt for this project because much of the money can be raised through equity and stocks on the continent. The EASSy Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) must be owned in a public private partnership with the participation of governments, private sector, educational institutions, network operators, civil society and the consumer. The EASSy SPV should be listed on the various country stock exchanges so that it works within the stock exchange discipline, which allows it stocks to be traded without burdening the company to make huge profits to pay it shareholders. This approach meets the current ?regulated return on investment? clause in the protocol in that the company would not be bent on paying it?s investors huge profits so would price capacity at cost however the investors can trade their stocks in the company on the stock exchanges to make profit based on the performance of the company. Governments and public institutions must be able to invest public funds, pension funds etc into the EASSy SPV. The stock market would serve as a platform to trade these shares later or an exist strategy to recoup the investment. For the ?indigenous? private enterprises the proposal is to lower the financial uptake for equity from the current one ($1,000,000) to two ($2,000,000) million dollars to between hundreds of thousand of dollars and one million dollars ($1000,000). This must include not only Eastern and Southern Africa private enterprise. Educational institutions who consume a lot bandwidth must also be allowed to invest like the UbuntuNet Alliance which has about three million dollars ($3,000,000) for the purposes of participation in the EASSy SPV. Civil Society and Consumers must be allow to purchase shares or bonds of the EASSy cable on the stock market ? hence my proposal is for the various governments to guarantee the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the EASSy SPV in the various country stock exchanges. The trading of stocks of the EASSy SPV on the exchanges would seek to rapidly expand the participation of the African people and create the African ownership, which is the flagship of NEPAD. The process would also generate long-term activities on the exchanges and create a trading post for a critical regional infrastructure company, which would ensure effective and efficient management of the enterprise. This would also have an impact on the stock markets in that trading of an ?unusual? entity would create innovation, ensure that our financial sector is able to re-engineer to scale with development interest and ensure that private interest is at par with development goals to create a win-win situation. The stock market serves as the platform for trading the stocks of the EASSy SPV so that should the company be doing well then the investors can make money by trading their shares; otherwise the stock market is a good exit strategy for those who want to dispose off their shares if the company does do well in their opinion. Why should we saddle Africa with an EASSy debt when the viability of the project can guarantee raising equity for it implementation ensuring that an African led process, is African financed? -- Eric M.K Osiakwan Executive Secretary AfrISPA (www.afrispa.org) Tel: + 233.21.258800 Fax: + 233.21.258811 Cell: + 233.244.386792 Handle: eosiakwan Snail Mail: Pmb 208, Accra-North Office: BusyInternet - 42 Ring Road Central, Accra-North Blog: http://afrispa.skybuilders.com/users/Eric/blog.html Slang: "Tomorrow Now" -- From meeting at afrinic.net Thu Sep 14 10:26:00 2006 From: meeting at afrinic.net (AfriNIC - http://www.afrinic.net) Date: Wed Nov 8 07:55:21 2006 Subject: [afrinic-discuss] AfriNIC-5: Call for Presentations and Tutorials In-Reply-To: <4506D441.1000309@afrinic.net> References: <4506D441.1000309@afrinic.net> Message-ID: <45091218.5060105@afrinic.net> Dear Colleagues, Please take note of the following correction: The next AfriNIC Public Policy Meeting will be held in Mauritius from 27th November - 01st December 2006.

Big Dish Ltd, a new satellite provider incorporated in Mau= ritius has joined the two earlier bidders that successfully met the Request For Service (RFS)= criteria to provide an African Regional Internet Traffic solution. The peering point design can= be extended to allow additional Internet Exchanges to join the network with ease at any ti= me in the future.? ? AfrISPA wants to establish true inter-country connectivity within the Afric= an continent, to remove the current dependence upon overseas carriers and to promote the est= ablishment and growth of African regional data carriers. The establishment of a networ= k of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) within Africa would also result in reduced costs, im= proved speeds and the improvement of the Internet backbone within Africa as a whole.? ? Big Dish has implemented a project that will revolutionise Internet access = in Africa by breaking the current paradigm of Interconnection charges. This is achieved= by buying substantial amounts of bandwidth where it is inexpensive, and delivering it= via a leased Teleport and bulk space segment. This yields the capacity to deliver bandw= idth via 5 satellites to any corner of Africa, using VSATs and proprietary modem= s. This project can help ISPs in the African market who are currently struggli= ng with high interconnection charges. Simultaneously, the Big Dish network can bec= ome a regional transit and interconnection provider. The project is being used = to easily realize the dream of establishing a Pan African Virtual Internet Exchange (PAVIX) by se= lling transit at each IXP and offering interconnection between all African IXPs. According to Matthew Rudd who is the CEO of Big Dish, =93Big Dish can lever= age its inexpensive bandwidth, burst capabilities and thousands of square feet of r= ack space into a Point to Multipoint configuration.

The next AfriNIC Public Policy Meeting will be held in Mauritius from 27 Nov - 01 Dec 2006. It is an open forum to discuss issues related to internet number resource management within the AfriNIC service region. This meeting will also host a regional IPv6 conference where network operators will share their experiences on IPv6 deployment. We are looking for presentations and tutorials of relevance from anyone. Tutorials are usually 2 to 4 hour workshops, while presentations may last between 10 and 30 minutes. Presentations / Tutorials may cover the following topics: - IPv6 deployment - Routing Best Practice/Address Space Prefix Filtering - Reverse DNS implemenation - DNSec - Fighting Spam We would like to have as many practical, hands-on presentations as possible and they do not have to be long. Policy proposals are also usually discussed at the meeting, but must pass through the appropriate phases of the Policy Development Process (please see http://www.afrinic.net/pdp.htm). If you would like to make a presentation or tutorial, please send your proposal to meeting@afrinic.net Your proposal should contain the following information: - Full Name - Email Address - Affiliation - Short biography - Title of Talk - A detailed abstract or outline describing the presentation - Draft slides for the presentation (if ready/available) - Length of talk (minutes/hours/days) - Need (or not) for sponsorship or assistance to attend the meeting (travel and/or accommodation, etc) The audience at AfriNIC meetings is mainly composed of technical network operators and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners to several years of experience. Presentations that contain any sort of marketing and commercial content are usually not encouraged at such meetings. Kind regards, AfriNIC www.afrinic.net From eric at afrispa.org Mon Nov 6 08:26:11 2006 From: eric at afrispa.org (Eric Osiakwan) Date: Wed Nov 8 07:55:21 2006 Subject: [afrinic-discuss] OPEN ACCESS SAT3 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <76D62576-7918-40A0-9A4A-3200F9E001BE@afrispa.org> OPEN ACCESS SAT3 By Eric M.K Osiakwan Visiting Fellow and Scholar DV Program, Stanford University http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/eric/ Since publishing the Open Access EASSy paper @ http:// blogs.law.harvard.edu/eric/ (you must read it to understand this paper), I have being challenged on the viability of Open Access to SAT3 and questioned on the need to institute the same standrards for both cables though we all know that SAT3 is already established and EASSy is yet to be. In this thesis I make an attempt at upholding the same Open Access structure and principles of EASSy to SAT3 ? this is possible because both cables lie in the same realm but the context of their execusion are different. This is ONLY possible because of the window of opportunity presented by the end of exclusivity by the historic operators on SAT3 in April 2007 so I also suggest a process approach. For the records, SAT3 was established with an exclusivity period to recoup investment by the historic operators and this is due in April 2007 at which the SAT3 country governments can either entrench the exclusivity of the historic operators or consider other mechanisms such as what an proposing. SAT3 stands both as a pillar of hope and despair for the African continent; hope because it was the first cable and there is an opportunity for it to significantly change bandwidth prices based on it?s non-performance, despair because we may decide to keep things the way they are currently and continue with the incumbency and high bandwidth prices. The reasons for the non-renewal of the exclusivity range from, the historic operators haven recouped their investment in the cable at high cost since the inception of the cable and yet made fiber bandwdith more expensive than satellite capacity. Secondly we know that the loan granted by the WorldBank to the historic operators for their contribution to the SAT3 cable was guaranteed by their respective governments hence the onus lies with the government after supporting the private interest of the historic operators to now consider the public interest of providing cheap and affordable bandwidth for socio-economic development. If the SAT3 goverrnments and regulators collectively or individually decide to end the exclusivity in April 2007 then the question to me is, what steps should they take towards Open Accessing SAT3? I don?t hold monopoly on the steps and process because national and or regional relationships coupled with on the ground details must be taken into consideration but I would proceed to outline what I see as the larger framework of what is possible in terms of structure, principles and processes ? same as for the EASSy cable. Hopefully other cables or subsequent ones would adopt or follow the same strucure, principles and process to have the desired impact. For the records again, I applaud the work done by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA @ www.osiwa.org) and other institutions for not only holding two (2) workshops to discuss the SAT3 issues but bringing a community of engagement, culture of awareness of the issues at stake and channelling internal capacity within the various constituencies ie governments, regulators, private sector, educational institutions and Civil Society to understand whatever decisions they make regarding the cable. My effort in this paper is to compliment such efforts with an adoption that considers some elements and layout a general framework based on the several discussions and engagements. Declaring SAT3 an ?essential facility? would mean that it holds much in the public interest so must be treated with the public good as primary and other consideration as secondary. Private consideration would be first on the secondary ladder because that is important for the running of the public entity. Am not for once suggesting a move from an extreme private position to an extreme public consideration, but rather my suggestion is to use minimal public holding as a temporal measure to move from an exteme private interest to a balance between the private and public consideration. Open Access is about balance and consideration of the various interests. The governments holding the essential facility in trust after declaring it so is only a temporary measure which must be seeded quickly to a multi-stakeholder institution which would work in the interest of the various constituency and ensure that there is a clear reflection of equity. Regulatory and public policy must recognise the establishment of the essenttial facility which in this case would be ?infrastructure provider? ? providing infrastructure for the other service providers wthin the value chain. In some cases the regulatory and public policy environment must create the structural change from a vertical to a horizontal layering communication system and that enables the change process. Whatever the case may be, the first fundamental step is the re-alignment of the communication paradigm where there is a distinction between infrastructure and services. This means a move from the vertical to the horizontal communication system. The essential facility in this case, the SAT3 country segment would constitute the infrastructure provider which DOES NOT provide services on the value chain. Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Senegal has hinted that they are going to adopt this approach post April 2007. In the case of Ghana, the government has also contracted the Chinese to finalise the nationwide fiber network which was owned by the Volta River Authority called Voltacom. Voltacom would be merged with the SAT3 country segment to form an ?infrastructure provider? which would provider international and national bandwidth infrastructure. Owership of the infrastructure provider is the next consideration, enjoining a multi-stakeholder ownership model ensures that there is balance of power, money and interest. It is in the interest of the government to ensure that this happens so that they are not labeled as ?corrupting? the entity. The mechanism is for the government through an initial private and or public offering to invite the private sector, educational institutions, civil society, investors, PTTs and the consumer to own a part of this entity through a transparent and neutral process. Enlisting the infrastructure provider on the stock exchange would ensure that it is subject to the dictates of that environment ensuring access and commonality on ownership. SAT3 at this point would have adhered to Open Access in terms of the structural change below; Within the structural framework, the cable would have differentiated ?Infrastructure? from ?Services? where Infrastructure is seen more in the ?Ownership? realm whiles Service is seen in ?Access to capacity?. The most distinguishing feature of the Open Access approach is that, ownership of the infrastructure DOES NOT GUARANTEE any access (discriminatory or not) to capacity on the value chain for the provision of service to the market. The respective country capacity would be on the money here. A set of principles would hold for the ownership of the cable and those principles would be different from those for access to capacity. Infrastructure ownership principles for the SAT3 cable would include; The ownership of the cable must be in a public private partnership involving Government, PTTs, ISPs, Educational Institutions, Civil Society and Consumers. A fair distribution of these constituencies from the member countries in an equal sub-regional distribution leading up to the Board of Directors of the enterprise in case a regional approach is adopted like EASSy. The same set of rules must be established to identifying the various shareholders from the various countries in the different constituencies, again this applies to regional. For the purposes of this exercise a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) or a legal entity with an African wide structure and majority Africa ownership should be considered The essential facility must have a public interest combined with a private sector approach in it?s business model in order to ensure cheap and affordable bandwidth to the end-user. Value Chain access to capacity for service delivery principles are; The essential facility must sell capacity to all entities who meet the legal and regulatory requirements in each country directly and non-discriminatorily. Service Providers shall be offered Transport Infrastructure Layer access to different capacities depending on their requirements. End Users shall be free to choose any local Service Provider connected to the National and or Regional Network. The essential facility shall not compete with Service Providers (its customers) by offering services at the Service Layers directly to End Users. All countries must create a regulatory structure that recognizes the essential facility. The essential facility shall be formed, owned and operated in such a way as to facilitate competition and to foster innovation at the Services Layer, and where practical and commercially viable at all levels, with a view to maximizing usage of the network and benefits to the End Users. Once these are in place the market structure would align such that the infrastructure cost which is almost always duplicated several times by service providers is consolidated. That reduces the barrier to uptake on the service side and makes the service providers focus on services and competition in the market place for innovation and customer service delivery at cheaper or affordable cost. Ultimately the customer benefits and the uptake of ICTs as a sector and cross sectorial enabler would be enhanced. This sets out the framework for Open Access as it relates to the SAT3 cable but I must admit that this is not the ONLY approach in terms of process but structurally and principles wise, the above is not far from wrong. The devil as they say is always in the details, though. NB: These principles and structure are drawn from the Open Access study conducted by Anders Comstedt, Eric Osiakwan and Russell Southwood for InfoDEV @ the WorldBank ? http://www.infodev.org/en/ Project.80.html Eric M.K Osiakwan Executive Secretary AfrISPA (www.afrispa.org) Tel: + 233.21.258800 Fax: + 233.21.258811 Cell: + 233.244.386792 Handle: eosiakwan Snail Mail: Pmb 208, Accra-North Office: BusyInternet - 42 Ring Road Central, Accra-North Blog: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/eric/ Slang: "Tomorrow Now" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Except on some technical questions, the technical people have different opinions on things such as Internet governance, resource allocation, multilinguism and so forth. They should certainly voice out their opinions but they cannot do it through an unique representative since they vary in opinions. > Nobody can deny that the open and transparent development of the > Internet has been possible thanks mainly because of the "Technical > People" This is probably true of *some* things on the Internet such as the development of the technical standards through IETF (not that it is perfect but it is quite open and transparent). It does not apply to ICANN.

ISOC, ICANN and the NRO implemented an Internet Pavilion as an outreach tool for business leaders and policy makers. ISOC also participated in the Forum and the parallel Youth Forum activities. ISOC participated in the event as a part of its ongoing outreach activities related to policy and to overall visibility in the Internet space with ICANN and the NRO. Telecom World occurs every 3 years and comprises two tracks - a trade show and a Forum in which a range of issues are discussed typically related to technology, strategy and policy. Senior business leaders and policy makers confer and connect - the event is not a pure policy related event but rather a policy and business environment influencing event. The Internet pavilion was similar in purpose to that deployed at the WSIS meeting in Tunis. In Hong Kong the mix of business interest and policy interest was similar, contrary to the more policy focus of the WSIS. The Hong Kong event proved to be a useful opportunity for the community to reinforce its messages not only among policy makers but also among industry leadership. ISOC participated in the Forum track directly: Matthew Shears spoke in two sessions, the first on "The future of Internet Governance" and the second on "New rules and roles in the Digital Age". Constance Bommelaer chaired an all-day session on cyber security, entitled "Countering Spam Cooperation Agenda". This proved to be a very useful vehicle for positioning ISOC in the cyber security debate more visibly. During this session, the OECD and the ITU presented the "StopSpam Coallition", a recent joint initiative gathering information and resources on combating spam (www.stopspamalliance.org ). This initiative was launched by APEC, the EU's CNSA, ITU, the London Action Plan and the Seoul-Melbourne Anti-Spam Group. It is an open initiative any relevant organization can join. The overall session description can be found here: http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/TELECOM/scripts/forum/forum.programme?event= wt2006&_dossierid=758&_languageid=1. Matthew also participated in the Youth Forum parallel event. The Youth Forum is an ITU activity that brings a select group of young leaders in the ICT area to Telecom World and puts them through a range of sessions that leverage the main Forum sessions and speakers. The program details can be found here: http://www.itu.int/WORLD2006/forum/youth.html. Matthew spoke in a session on "Applications and Technologies for Digital Society" and participated in a workshop on strategic communications. ISOC's role was recognized during the closing Youth Forum plenary. Drew Dvorshak, ISOC's new Senior Manager of Organizational Membership also attended, meeting with existing and potential members. He had conversations with representatives from roughly 25 prospective member organizations from around the world including notable telecoms/network providers, ISPs, equipment manufacturers, government ministries and others. In addition to that, he made useful contacts within national and regional economic development organizations such as UBI France, UK Trade & Investment and OECD. He expects that as those relationships develop, they will lead to introductions with representatives from even more prospective organizational members within their respective spheres of influence. An overview of ISOC's participation in the event, including supporting materials, PowerPoints and speaking notes, etc., can be found here: http://www.isoc.org/pubpolpillar/telecom2006.shtml The Telecom World 2006 site can be found here: http://www.itu.int/WORLD2006/index.html and the Forum page here: http://www.itu.int/WORLD2006/forum/programme_preview.html. Each of the sessions was vodcast - but the downloads are very large. Overall, the event proved to be a very valuable way for ISOC to build on its continued policy and leadership-related outreach activities, build relationships with the membership and continue to demonstrate leadership in the Internet governance space.

These reports have now evolved into an integrated project called "African Internet Resources and Routing Statistics (AIRRS). The first overview of the project is available at: http://www.afrinic.net/airrs/index.htm. We will now start sending a weekly report (every monday) on the statistics. The first is planned for Monday December 18th. Input and suggestions to improve the information provided in the report will be appreciated.
