[kictanet] .Africa project communique (Task force)

[Ben Akoh]

Congratulations Pierre, to you and the rest of the team. And I wish you
all the best in doing this task.

It might be worth exploring enhanced cooperation and partnership with
other groups and communities such as Afralo, Africann, the regional IGFs,
to mention a few.

This is an opportunity to address Africa's critical internet resource
issues and there is no better effort than to include representations from
movements that have been discussing these in the recent past.

Best,
Ben
