[kictanet] Blog Post: African DNS Exchange and Mentorship Programme.

Great initiative. Thanks for sharing. 

Going forward I'm hoping that ICANN will loosen the tough requirements in place to be an accredited ICANN Registrar. We do need an affirmative action plan for this continent to grow the DNS Space.  

One area I feel stakeholders need to pay attention to is the Domain Aftermarket. It's virgin territory here and more work needs to be done. A concerted effort by the private sector and other stakeholders will be key to realize the DNS potential in Africa.

Keep up the good work!
