[kictanet] Fwd: Africa domain?

[Brian Munyao Longwe]

For those concerned, please note that contrary to claims made at the EA IGF
last week, Ms. Sophia Bekele does NOT have the endorsement of the AU. Please
refer to the attached.

Regards,

Brian

 Dear Colleagues and Friends,



Attached find the letter sent to Ms. Sophia regarding her continuous
assertion for DOT-Africa and I think it’s very clear. Moreover, find
attached also report & declaration of the last CITMC held from 3-7 August
2010 in Abuja and you can find a clear recommendation about DOT-Africa.



Regards

Is it true that AU has consented/endorsed Sophia Bekele's push for this? I
know that she is a very controversial figure and has made wild claims of
support in the past.

Apparently this issue came up last week at the East African IGF in Uganda -
she was there and tried to claim legitimacy but ended up being outrightly
rejected and received a "dressing up" from most of the delegates there....
