[Icann-aswg] Fadi's visit to AU ICT Week - More insights

[Mouhamet Diop]

Thanks Pierre for this message.

The African Stragegy is the baseline , the foundation for this,  I suggest
on the implementation plan that we give africa the room for Regional
Technical Training and Strengthen initiatives related to the DNS industry.

For example, DNS Training initiated by ICANN (Registrar Training ) were
held in the USA, and in Europa.
No ICANN training is schedule for Africa and we need that the need to have
more Registrars in the region needed to go with good training skills and
update on the new requirements.

But we need to make a clear difference between FORA and INSTITUTIONS.

We have so many FORA but very few INSTITUTIONS (like Afrinic).

Our goal i to built INSTITUTIONS that will last, forums will not last and
will never deliver.

 SO to add to Pierre suggestion, let's focus on building institutions with
the help of ICANN and other entities who have interest to see these things
happening.

some more possibilities for the following non exhaustive list :

- The ICANN African Office is needed and well staffed
- DNS incubation programme inside an African Institute of Technology
(Registry, Registrar, Law Enforcement Mechanism (CyberLaw), Marketing,
Security, etc)
- An Africa centre for Internet Governance.
- An Internet Foundation for Africa
- An Internet Academy... in African Universities
- A certification program for the ICANN curricula .

regards

Mouhamet Diop
