[kictanet] DNSSEC Awareness and Deployment Workshop comes home finally

[McTim]

Hi Adam,

http://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/79903-africa-domain-battle-win-for-sa.html

is the latest news I have seen.  That story interprets the document at:

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/new-gtld-resolution-annex-1-04jun13-en.pdf

which says:

The	NGPC	accepts	this	advice.	The	AGB	provides	that	
if	"GAC	advises	ICANN	that	it	is	the	consensus	of	the	
GAC	that	a	particular	application	should	not	proceed.	
This	will	create	a	strong	presumption	for	the	ICANN	
Board	that	the	application	should	not	be	approved."	
(AGB	§	3.1)	The	NGPC	directs	staff	that	pursuant	to	
the	GAC	advice	and	Section	3.1	of	the	Applicant	
Guidebook,	Application	number	1-1165-42560 for	
.africa	will	not	be	approved.	In	accordance	with	the	
AGB	the	applicant	may	withdraw	(pursuant	to	AGB	§	
1.5.1)	or	seek	relief	according	to	ICANN's	
accountability	mechanisms	(see	ICANN	Bylaws,	
Articles	IV	and	V)	subject	to	the	appropriate	
standing	and	procedural	requirements.
