[kictanet] .africa put on ice after ICANN confusion

Wed May 14 14:29:25 EAT 2014

Ali,

 What is a private company to you?  Do you know what the corporate entity
of ZACR is? or are you simply like you say disparaging to DCA?

In terms of what "stands out" for you, maybe you can enlighten yourself
directly on what happened on .dotafrica from alternate sources such as this
http://domainnewsafrica.com/the-curious-case-of-dotafrica-2   , other than
the arch enemies of DCA, like DomainIncite 's bloggers  Murphy.

Regards
DotConnectAfrica
