[Icann-aswg] Re: [governance] ICANN Africa Strategy

[Alice Munyua]

Thanks Nii.

 From the listing on the website, it seems we have all ICANN 
constituents represented with current members apart from the gNSO

Barack for ccNSO  and ALAC  Michel and Tijani, etc

This is what Bill is asking about.

So agree we can reach out to NCUC Rafik as the gNSO liaison and find 
ways later  of formally including comments from the various constituencies.

Meanwhile, we have shared the links with several other communities and 
hope we receive more productive comments and contributions.

Best regards
Alice
