So when this particular 'controversial' lady was making an 'AU<br>
statement' doesn't it mean she must have been pushed by someone?<br>
I'm sure there are more who have may have wanted to bring about the<br>
positions of Africawide bodies but again, they use the fence instead<br>
of the door.<br>
<br>
Were her 'recommedations, suggestions' or whatever, adapted during EAIGF in UG?<br>
</blockquote></div>
No, not adopted. We had to caution against seeking adoption for an initiative that has not followed the EA-IGF process...using a bottom up approach to present issues/ideas at the national IGFs before it is presented to the regional for consideration.<br>

Thanks for this Pierre, i was rather pessimistic because i aaumed AU would<br>
be too Bureucratic, nonetheless, i will study the resource you have just<br>
posted, then throw in further comments should there be need.<br>

Brian and all,<br>
<br>
Indeed the AU's position sounds more inclusive and transparent; it's a<br>
community based endeavour which gives back to the community through<br>
capacity development;<br>
<br>
And in fact all current african Internet related organizations (The so<br>
called AF* including the AfTLD) have crafted the original concept<br>
paper on dotafrica in 2006 (<a href="http://www.dotafrica.org" target="_blank">www.dotafrica.org</a>) and/or have been kept<br>
in the loop; Even the african business is being called upon to<br>
contribute. Thus, whatever personal initiative is being pushed now is<br>
a pure and pale copy of the original one.<br>

I actually think that the AU's position - where they prefer a community<br>
based approach towards activating the domain - is a much better, more<br>
inclusive and transparent way.<br>

I also agree that AFTLD can and should take the initiative to show<br>
