[AFRI-Discuss] [AfrICANN-discuss] Statment of the joint meeting of African community

Sun Sep 21 16:30:04 UTC 2014

Hi Aziz,

Thank you for sharing and my +1 to the “drafting team”.

Once again, I would like to come back on my suggestion of readjusting the title of theme of our jojnt meeting; I know It is not a big deal but It is often said: “Everything is in the title”. As far as the ongoing work is not to transition IANA functions but IANA’s stewardship, I think It is important we let that comes out on the title of our meeting. For this purpose, I suggest once again to edit the title as follow: “IANA Stewardship Transition and ICANN Accountability seen by the African Community”. Sorry for insisting on it and apologize if I’m wrong; may be the USGOV/NTIA announcement has some hidden ramifications or implications with include IANA functions to transition from actual hands to another’s.

Coming back to the document itself, I think the topic of the composition of the IANA Coordination Group has already been discussed and “closed”; so for me the paragraph on our declaration about the “unbalanced composition of the ICG is not important. The ICG’s work is open and open to comments; we should rather recommend that mechanisms are put in place to ensure that every interested parties have a chance to contribute and make their concerns heard moving forward. 

Thank you once again.

Best regards,

Victor Ndonnang.
