[Icann-aswg] Re: Fadi's visit to AU ICT Week

[mnuduma]

Thank you Pierre.
We welcome Fadi to AUC.
I do not think we should add more to the shopping list. I only think we should do a little briefing of the implementation journey so far,  suggest timelines and emphase on adquate resource provisioning for the region. I would also suggest that ICANN presence shd include country liaisons to enhance the work of our full-time managers.
Have a great outing.

Subject: Fadi's visit to AU ICT Week 
 
Dear All,
As you may know, Fadi will be visiting Africa for the second time today as he will attend the on going AU 2013 ICT Week in Addis Ababa.

We may seize the opportunity to remind him that while Africa has started seeing some of his promise (staffing and rollout of strategy), expectations are still on for an ICANN presence in Africa, in term of engagement Office or even anothe Hub.

Also, we may alert him on the importance of starting a few capacity building centres on the Continent. My colleague Baher is looking forward to an  Africa Centre on DNS capacity, to be based in Egypt and serving Africa and Middle East.

For sub saharan Africa we may flag in possibilities for the following non exhaustive list :

- DNS incubation programme
- An Africa centre for Internet Governance
- An Internet Foundation for Africa 
- An Internet Academy..in African Universities

These were already suggested in our Africa strategy. Would you like to add more?

To go back to Fadi's visit, maybe you (Moctar and/or any one participating to the ICT Week) could air these requests? Fadi participates to the Ministerial Round Table of today and will have bilateral meetings before flying out to Cairo tonight.

Pierre
