> Hello Pierre,<br>
> Thank you for this communication and Minute of The Meeting. Much appreciated.<br>
> I am pleased to see that members of GAC from Africa were present (I recognize one).<br>
> The issue is that, although the actions taken was right, why not circulate the Minutes widely since this <<a href="mailto:africann@afrinic.net">africann@afrinic.net</a>> includes a large proportion of Africans? I have not heard a complaint that this list excluded anyone so far....<br>
> All in all, Why wasn't this sideline at ICANN-44 activity not communicated widely - before, during and after the event? It is history now...<br>
> My suggestion is to engage a Reverse Gear to this whole thing and let the CEO of ICANN know we are doing so. No harm doing that since a round of consultations need to take place - for inclusive purposes. In that case, ICANN-Toronto will not be the opportune time and place to deal with this. If ICANN has budgeted for this activity - not bad eh? They can hold fire until another ICANN meeting. That is a lesson we have learned - or is there a rush for this which would mislead ICANN and everybody concerned?<br>
> I am sorry to have to suggest a STOP to this for the moment - since it is better to get things in a right from the beginning. <br>
> I have taken the liberty to copy this to Steve Crocker for his attention please - since he ought to know about the suggestion.<br>

In this connection, I would like to echoe Moktar's proposal to strengthen the Committee which was established yesterday to depart from a Committee of 4 to a Committee of 7 taking into account representatives from the remaining 3 regions.<br>
