[AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANN Meeting at ICANN 60 Abu Dhabi

Mon Sep 11 17:10:11 UTC 2017

Thanks Aziz.

I would like to propose  “ICANN Jurisdiction”, its a hot topic now within ICANN, there are heated debates and discussions in the Jurisdiction WG about the ICANN US Jurisdiction.

As a US based entity, ICANN is subject to S laws, The question that might be rise is “ Dose ICANN US Jurisdiction effect the Domain Names Industry in Africa ?”
we have many AfRALO members are active participants in the Jurisdiction debate and can provide lead a statement drafting team which can produce a balanced statement regarding the 
ICANN Jurisdiction issue from an African Internet community prospective.

Thanks

Kind Regards,
Mohamed

> Chers tous,
> Comme nous l'avons fait au cours des précédentes réunions de l'ICANN, nous allons organiser une réunion conjointe AFRALO/AfrICANN pour débattre d’une question ou d’un sujet d'intérêt pour notre région lors de la réunion de l'ICANN 60 à Abu Dhabi qui aura lieu du 28 octobre au 3 novembre 2017.
> Le but de ce message est de vous demander de bien vouloir proposer un thème que vous pensez être le plus pertinent à cet égard. Cette réunion aboutira à la présentation d'une “déclaration commune” à l’attention de l'ICANN. Nous apprécierions que la proposition de thème soit envoyée dans une semaine (avant le dimanche 17 Septembre).
> Veuillez noter qu'au-delà de cette date, si nous ne recevons pas de proposition; la direction d’AFRALO constituera un comité de rédaction qui décidera du thème et proposera à la Communauté un projet de déclaration à l’intention de l'ICANN. Cette déclaration sera discutée à la réunion à Abu Dhabi.
> Le sujet choisi devra avoir l’approbation des deux listes AfrICANN et AFRALO. Il est à noter que l'intérêt de cette tradition est d'exprimer le point de vue de la communauté africaine de l'ICANN sur les questions d'actualité et d'intérêt pour la communauté de l'ICANN.
