<br>
Your point is noted, however .africa is not just another TLD - it is in the same
realm as .eu i.e. a regional domain that represents multiple jurisdictions - in
the same manner that .eu was granted at the behest of the EU/EC - subsequent to
a process that brought forward the buy-in of major stakeholder in the EU,
including Governments, operators and local internet community - similarly,
Africa needs to have undergone a processs whereby there is broad
buy-in/consensus behind whoever it is that is making the pitch to ICANN.<br>
<br>
Having said that - I for one, will NEVER support anyone who tries to gain
leverage/support by using lies:<br>
1) She has never been an ICANN board member - despite repeated brazen claims to
the office<br>
2) She has never been given a formal (let alone written) endorsement by the AU<br>
3) She feels threatened by reputable and legitimate African internet bodies and
went to great lengths to sabotage AfriNIC's proposed Addist meeting by telling
lies to the government and Ethiopia telecoms which prompted them pulling out 2
months before the meeting. Only to find out after consultations that they have
been fed a bunch of lies and ended up losing face both at a local and global
perspective.<br>
<br>
My two cents,<br>

other than having seeing her at the Kenyan IGF where she also pushed for the
dot.Africa initiative. Indeed as Pierre mentions elsewhere, there's a
parallel push @ <a href="http://www.dotafrica.org/home.html" target="_blank">http://www.dotafrica.org/home.html</a>
which I believe has the support of AfNOG, AfrNIC, AfTLD (the Af*
organisations).<br>
<br>
However and I stand to be corrected - I think the ICANN process is
quite open and transparent and we therefore cannot stop any bidder pushing to
have a top level domain like dot.Africa (free for all approach that ofcourse
has had its advantages and disadvantages).<br>
<br>
So whereas I support and understand the need have dot.africa under the family
and philosophy of Af* organisations, we really have no control over other
bidders trying to get there first. Maybe we should just up our game and get
the domain before the competition.<br>

<br>
Just received this. Apparently she has formally been propagating lies about
being on the ICANN board etc.... and even put up counterfiet letters on her
website - this verges on criminal! What is her interest?<br>
<br>
Brian<br>
<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
Brian,<br>
<br>
here is some info for you.. she constructed this whole thing on lies. you can
judge for yourself. I did not want to spam all but I sent this to a few key
people. check this:<br>
<br clear=all>
- there is no African Union Authority!!!! do you really believe that the<b>
Chairman of the AU Commission</b> will have claimed to write on behalf of a
non existent authority and give her a letter in that sense? so maybe she
should explain to people why she has a 'weird' letter on her website. Check
her website and you will see.<br>
<br>
- here is an email that tells you how she lies! she actually took me to the
ombudsman at ICANN in 2007, complaining that I was preventing her from doing
dot africa, copied the whole board at the time --- all her claims were
immediately dismissed when I sent the letters and emails to the ombudsman, of
the same caliber as the below that she had been sending to regional
organisations and bodies. My fault was to have written to all organisations,
as the Regional Liaison, to dismiss her claims of ICANN endorsement of dot
africa and her being on the board.<br>
<br>
- she keeps saying ICANN is endorsing dot africa! how can ICANN endorse a
TLD?? how can ICANN be judge and party???? she is supposed to have been at
the GNSO council and ICANN and understand what she is talking about!!!! she
has been in the ICANN process for the past 5 years and still has no idea how
all this functions.<br>
<br>
I let you judge. The woman does not have her wits together I think.<br>
<br>

Hello <name removed>, <br>
<br>
I hope your vacation is going well. As per discussion, I thought I would
convey someof what is on my plate that may be of mutual interest. <br>
<br>
Presently, other than my private projects/business interests, I also serve on
the board of ICANN, the international internet governance organization.
At this stage, I have outlined few projects in addition to an initiative that
could quickly put under incubation. Any or all of these could serve as
a basis for mutual collaboration. <br>
<br>
Generally speaking the projects span ICT, public sector governance, regional
integration, internet governance etc.. <br>
<br>
The priority project I mentioned to UN Undersecretary General was that of
dot.africa (.Africa) which he expressed great interest. Thus, there
will be a need to synergize and align strategies of possible project
collaboration. <br>
<br>
Dot.Africa is an initiative supported by ICANN, that aims at unifying
and consolidating the African Information Society and presence within the
Internet as distinct from other Continental communities. As such, there
now exists dot.EU (.EU), dot.Asia.(.ASIA) and dot.LatinAmerica (.LA) as
similar ongoing initiatives. The present paradigm is to halt Africans
marginalization in this age of globalization. This is actually one of
the goals of NEPAD, which of course is an initiative that is already endorsed
b the UN. There are no prices for guessing what would happen if
dot.Africa is not also initiated and implemented at the same time that other
Continental communities on the net have been put in place. <br>
<br>
To get this of the ground, it appears from the experiences of the others, a
minimum of 13 countries in Africawould have to come on board. The
endorsement for UNECA would of course be helpful. This initiative
would require a proposal to be distributed to the potential participating
countries. UNECA’s help would be crucial in communicating who might
wish to participate. Countries that have already have ongoing National
policies that relate ICT as a strategic tool for National development would
be the primary candidates. Being something that would turn into a
Continental initiative, it is rewarding at best for the UNECA to play an
active role in this initial stage. <br>
<br>
As an African representative on ICANN board, I have taken the initiative to
coordinate and see the successful implementation of the project. I
believe therefore, we should have a meeting to progress this further. I
suggest we meet ASAP to get this moving, as time is of essence to the extent
that the application for the domain name must be submitted before January
2007. <br>
<br>
However due to our travel schedules, we should arrange a teleconference
meeting that is mutually convenient for all within the next two weeks. <br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
Sophia</span><o:p></o:p></p>
