[AFRI-Discuss] Resolution

[Tijani BEN JEMAA]

I’m so sorry for the mistakes in the text of my previous mail. I correct it,
and I sent it back to you here after.

Please forgive.

 

Dear all,

As you know, AFRALO launched the idea of a joint meeting with all the
African ICANN community to develop a statement expressing the expectations
of the entire African community from the resolution 20 of the ICANN Board
about providing support to applicants in need of assistance to apply for and
to operate the new gTLDs.

A drafting team has developed, after several weeks of work, a draft
statement that it submitted to the joint meeting held in Brussels on
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. The room was full and some was standing. After
discussion and review, the draft statement was approved.

Our statement was sent to the working group formed as per the Board
Resolution 20 to seek ways of providing support to applicants for new gTLDs
who need assistance. We asked them to consider its content in their future
work. They immediately put it on their wiki page, and I received the
official support (in writing) of one of the WG members.



It was also sent to the Board, and I got the confirmation that it was
transmitted to all members.

Cheryl, the president of ALAC, in her report to the Board, gave a prominent
place to our meeting and our declaration that she, by the way, annexed to
her report. We received Congratulations and compliments from all sides.



After our resounding success in Nairobi with our Showcase that became a
ritual activity of the RALO in which region the ICANN meeting is held, this
statement gave us enough visibility and credibility to make AFRALO looked at
as the most active and innovative RALO.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this success. We must continue to
keep the image people have of us today, and even improve it in the interest
of the Africans community of Internet users.
