Title: Africa at ICANN - Continent on the Move

Excerpt:

'....There was one obvious take-away from this week's ICANN meetings
in Toronto, and for once it was less about policy and more about
geography. Simply put, Africa is really — finally — coming together
at ICANN, with a new energy, new unity and lots of new participation
from African participants. And from top to bottom, the ICANN
community seems to be taking notice.

The evidence was everywhere… You could see it in the large number of
African participants from all over the continent, and in active
African engagement in the GAC. You could see it in the statements
from the ICANN CEO, Board Chair and constituency leaders who came to
the release of the new Africa strategy and praised both the strategy
and the strategy process — inclusive, fast-moving and importantly,
driven by African stakeholders at ICANN, not imposed from above. You
could also see it in the tremendous enthusiasm for the AUC-endorsed
dotAfrica (.africa) application, which has become a real a focal
point of an emerging "African Agenda".

Of course, the hard work is yet to be done......'
