[At-Large] WEBCAST: Africa DNS Forum underway in Nairobi

[Joly MacFie]

I have watched this all morning and there have been some great speakers
including ISOC's Olaf Kolkman and Dawit Bekele. In the new gTLD panel Lucky
Masilela of .za said that, before African gTLDs can take off 1) cost has to
be cheaper than $185k in the next round, and 2) there has to be
harmonization of affordable pricing across African registries.  Andrew Mack
of PIR emphasized the need for strong and persistent marketing.One big
success story today is Nigeria's .ng due to it being a component of so many
asian names!
