Great initiative by the team.
This will surely keep us abreast with the trending AFRALO activities.
For future updates, we can consider adding a section covering
highlights and key milestones achieved by Afralo measured against the
AFRALO strategic plan.
Otherwise very well done to the team :)
have a productive meeting in Montreal

> Category A - must be addressed - or Category B -- might be partially
> addressed in current processes. We foresee scoping that is tight and smart
> and relevant to the process. It is impossible to say who should be
> responsible when so much activity around it is unresolved.

> evolution of ICANN’s MSM.
> - Issue 4: Roles and responsibilities and a holistic view of ICANN.

> independent process.

>
> II. Support and grow active, informed and effective stakeholder

>
> Strategies to expand the concept of participation are offered as well as
