[kictanet] DotAfrica RFP

[pdandjinou at gmail.com]

Dear Tim,

As you know, unlike the two earlier gtld rounds of 2000 and 2003-4, this  
new round has no such categories as 'sponsored' or unsponsored'; , AUC  
states it does not intend to be an Applicant, thus, it chose to contract an  
Africa based consortium to endorse (with legitimate letters) for the  
business and technical operation as required by the guide book.

As far as I know, and with regards to geographic tld such as DotAfrica, AUC  
will still retain a policy oversight (just like the .eu) within its  
contract with operator on the one hand, and could work through the  
Governments'notification..and the GAC's early warning procedures on the  
other hand..
I hope this serves?
Rgds
Pierre.
