Meanwhile, here is the first just published story about this event http://www.itworld.com/internet/347545/icann-begins-implementing-africa-str… Pierre ICANN begins implementing Africa strategy http://www.itworld.com/internet/347545/icann-begins-implementing-africa-str… Training, policy engagement, partnerships, incubation and entrepreneurshipare key areas for Africa March 08, 2013, 12:36 PM ‹ ICANN's CEO and President Fadi Chehadé was atthegroup's Multistakeholder Internet Governance meeting in Africa this weekwith the message that it is a new season at ICANN and Africa has a big roleto play. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has identifiedtraining, policy engagement, partnerships, incubation and entrepreneurship as the key areas in implementing its Africa strategy. That strategy was unveiled last August and was meant to find ways to improve Africa's participation within the Internet's governing body. "In order to make this reality, ICANN has to change; it has been America-centric, because the Internet has its history in the USA, but now,all of us own the Internet and have a role to play in Internet growth,"saidChehadé. Chehadé announced that ICANN global operations will be offered from threehubs, Los Angeles, Istanbul and Singapore, to cover the major time zones.The Istanbul office will have an IANA (Internet Assigned NumbersAuthority) liaison, who will be African and will understand African issues. ManyAfrican countries are still struggling with management of country code TopLevel Domains (ccTLDs). "We need more money and resources in Africa; we will partner with existingorganizations," Chehadé said. Those include the Africa TelecommunicationsUnion, the ITU, the Internet Society, AfriNIC and the African Union. TheICANN representative in the Indian Ocean will be stationed at AfriNICoffices in Mauritius, he added. ICANN has arranged to hold DNS Security Extension (DNSSEC) workshops inGhana, Nigeria, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Tunisia, Egypt and SouthAfrica. One of the major challenges facing Africa is lack of development in the DNSbusiness, with many people in the region depending on internationalcompanies and services. Currently, Africa has five ICANN-accreditedregistrars. "ICANN is willing to work hard with partners in Africa to raise the numberof accredited registrars from the current five to 25 in the next 18 months.We will sit with the ICT industry and understand what we can do to make theRegistrar Accreditation Agreement more Africa-friendly. It may takepartnerships with banks and the insurance industry," Chehadé said. Working with local businesses to promote growth in the DNS industry willalso promote employment and business growth in the region, he said. -- Pierre Dandjinou Cotonou - 229 90 087784 / 66566610 Dakar 221 77 639 30 41 www.scg.bj skype : sagbo1953 _______________________________________________ AfrICANN mailing list AfrICANN(a)afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann -- Barrack O.

Jumatano yenye Baraka tele! Certainly Moreithi that is what was expected during this Elections. 2017 the "Tech hype" will certainly be a hard sale. Have a pleasant day.

On a light note; Baby born at the voting queue has been named Ballot-eli We have made great strides as a Nation during this National Elections. Neighbors went out in droves. Perhaps our ICT savvy colleagues may enlighten us on why the Technology invested in seems not to be up to the game; a good number of the voter identification kits were not working or used (I did not run my finger on any), some names were not traced in the computer etc. It just doesnt work for the citizenry when told that 'mtambo haufanyi kazi", and the manual register is used just as in the past elections. A lot of hype had gone into the need and role of the advanced Technology this time round. There is a lot of hype on Technology being the turnaround for the Country as an industry and also in other sectors. I do expect that in subsequent elections, the investment (financial, human, time) in Technology will even be higher and this is a good point to check how to up the game. Have a pleasant day.

Growth in demand is attributed to falling Internet access prices. But despite all the gains that Africa has experienced, especially through the growth of mobile broadband access, the figures indicate that the digital divide between Africa and the rest of the world continues unabated.

Our article focused primarily on Zimbabwe where election disputes have been a major issue. We also pointed out that a number of African countries had implemented some form of emerging technologies in their election process - including biometric voter registration. Read more... ICT in Africa on Internet Radio The ICT buzz in Africa - the mobile boom, deployment of submarine cables, widespread deployment of terrestrial fibre optic networks and new innovations such as mobile money - has caught the attention of many people, including an Internet radio DJ.

You ask most Africans about the shambolic state of their economies, and the response is always quick - it is the government's fault.
