[AFRI-Discuss] Theme for a Joint Meeting AFRALO/AfrICANN at ICANN 51

Mon Aug 25 14:47:49 UTC 2014

Seun, that is called hitting the nail on the head.

We have a great email list run by AFRINIC on the IANA transition.
https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ianaoversight
But so far, only the African region is lagging behind on discussions on
that topic.

If we have nothing to say on this list before ICANN51, then we will have
nothing to say in the one and a half hours allocated for the meeting.

Regards
