[kictanet] ICANN meeting and security concerns

[waudo siganga]

My advise to the local Internet community is on the same lines as that
from Grace Bomu and Adam Peake: if we want in the long run to be
creators rather than observers of what is happening with ICANN then
please VOLUNTEER to serve. All the decision-making positions are
volunteer positions and there are negligible Africans there. This goes
beyond the limited annual NOMCOM openings. One can volunteer to be
active in a CONSTITUENCY or a support organization. Recently Alex Gakuru
got a post in the Non-Commercial Users Constituency and that was a good
first step. These constituencies also make their independent
appointments to the BOARD, GNSO, NOMCOM,etc. 
While awaiting updates on the fate of the Nairobi meeting we should also
think strategically.
