we ask secretariat/AfriNIC to create a public website for ASWG and send a brief report to community lists and ask to visit site for more information and give feedback

Yes. We have not analyzed the questionnaire input from community completely for public use eg 17 responses, from these countries, these constituencies, what they proposed (in their swot-you almost have it), which physical type of presence they recommended, which countries they recommended for hosting office, africa contribution, icann benefits, and several others. These must be captured into a separate document 

If we don't do that it's like we didn't listen to community

We should ask the community specific questions about the strategic objectives eg if it addresses African concerns, what projects they see appropriate, etc. my assumption is that these answers will inform our recommendations to ICANN

The real ASWG remaining work includes:
- how to filter the 4 SWOTs (3 stakeholder SWOTs + community swot) to a single table of less than 5 items each per column
- elaborate the strategic objectives to a paragraph following ICANN sample style (using common language ) associated with tables
- a presentation telling the story of the 3 month effort
- analysis of community feedback on strategic objectives (when we receive them-use AfriNIC survey online tool to ease this)
- develop recommendations to ICANN

In summary this is what we must submit to ICANN on 30th September 
- presentation 
- recommendations
- initial community input document 
- Facts Africa and ICANN presentation 
- ASWG swot
- ASWG objectives, projects, measures document 
- final community input on objectives document 
- URL link to all other ASWG public documents
