AFRICA MEETING!!!!!</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Congratulations to you all Kenyan mates! We
look forward to see you in Nairobi
– it should be a great jol!</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">And if I may (Vincent knows this any way),
during AfTLD Tanzania in April, we agreed with .ke and .ng that whoever will
win the ICANN bid will also host the 2010 AfTLD Annual conference (the week
before ICANN)! </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Vincent, I assume the agreement still
stands, and can we now announce the 2010 AfTLD Nairobi meeting then?</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Once again, I’m so happy for you
guys! And I hope you do congratulate .ng for also putting in a very competitive
bid. Your competition with them (as far as I’m aware) was carried out
with dignity, respect and comradeship that we need to see more in Africa. Let’s hope .ng gets the 2012 Africa round.</span></font></p>
