Anglophone African ccTLDs in July 2012.



The Policy meeting which will be hosted by ZICTA, the Zambian regulator,
will be held from 23 – 27 July 2012 and will focus on enhancing the
visibility of African ccTLDs through branding and marketing, examining the
likely impact of new gTLDs on African ccTLDS as well enhancing the
robustness and efficiency of African registries by improving the technical
infrastructure.



The Policy meeting is in line with AfTLD’s key strategic objective of
building capacity of African ccTLDs with an aim of improving and enhancing
Africa’s internet infrastructure. The Livingstone Policy and annual general
meeting is among a series of   regular events that AfTLD holds on an annual
basis. The event follows a successful workshop for Francophone ccTLDS held
in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso from 9 to 13 January 2012.

supported

by AfNIC, ISOC, LexSynergy and Africa in Onespace – AfTLD’s consistent
sponsors and partners. Travel fellowships will be granted to qualifying
ccTLDs. For further information about these and the event in general please
