Re: [kictanet] new gTLDs. A very American revolution
by Gideon 25 Jun '12

Hi Listers, Americans have more money to spend on the entrepreneurship and taking risk on innovation which is very much part of their culture. It’s not about being stupid nor smart, it all gravitates to the real fact that Africa does not have the money to play with, nor does it have the culture of entrepreneurship to play with huge sums of money, but this is slowly coming, with the applications that we have seen, and Africa will reach this level. Given that gTLDs were also invented by the USA, it’s not surprising that people in US took more chance thus the many applicant, besides, do not forget that most of the new gTLD applications were brand protection names, given that most companies as well are western it’s only natural that the numbers would weigh in depending on the number of firms. I believe that Africa will soon be able to come at par, with the rest of the other developed nations, just a little more effort from the government to the Private sector. Gideon Rop.

Hate speech threshold?

Hello listers, this circulated in a couple of lists and whilst it does have potential to be seen differently depending on where you sit, has a grainy youtube for evidence. Does it meet the threshold of: a) evidence, and b) hate speech? Seek interpretation to understand context. Sent from my iPhone

[1]19 Fadi Chehadé | President and CEO Fadi Che [cid:[email protected]] hadé's career has been defined by building consensus and promoting collaborative technologies and practices. He has more than 25 years of experience in building and leading progressive Internet enterprises, leveraging relationships with senior executives and government officials across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. Chehadé, age 50, is a citizen of Egypt, Lebanon, and the United States. He was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to Egyptian parents and left the then war-torn country in 1980 at the age of 18. He speaks fluent Arabic, English, French, and Italian. Most recently he served as Chief Executive Officer of Vocado LLC, a U.S. firm that is a provider of cloud-based software for the administration of educational institutions. Prior to Vocado, Chehadé was CEO of CoreObjects Software, Inc., a leader in new product software development services for both large and growing companies. He oversaw the expansion of the company to include more than 400 engineers and its successful acquisition by Symphony Services. Prior to his role at CoreObjects, Chehadé served as the General Manager of IBM's Global Technology Services in the Middle East and North Africa. Based in Dubai, he led a team across an emerging region experiencing high growth. He also built and managed a new global business for IBM, providing managed services to large clients in telecommunications, aerospace and retail to improve the accuracy, depth and timeliness of business information visibility across demand and supply chains. Chehadé founded and has led three companies since 1987: * Viacore, launched in 1999, was the world's leading B2B process integration hub offering a complete solution of specialized software and services for global 500 companies. In 2006 he led Vicaore's successful acquisition by IBM. * RosettaNet, a non-profit multi-stakeholder company founded in 1997. Chehadé rallied all the leading ICT companies in the world including IBM, HP, Microsoft, SAP, Nokia and Oracle to collaborate on B2B standards. RosettaNet became the high-technology industry's leading eBusiness standards consortium. RosettaNet adopted a multi-stakeholder approach to define and standardize a complete inter-company process language, enabling the ICT sector to use the Internet for real-time process synchronization between thousands of trading partners. * Nett Information Products, launched in 1987 to create and develop an Internet-based content management and sharing solution, successfully weaving hundreds of ICT suppliers and thousands of their resellers into a powerful collaborative business web of applications and content. Ingram Micro the world's largest ICT distributor acquired Nett, where Chehadé became vice president of its Customer Information Services Group. Chehadé is a graduate of Stanford University, where he earned a master's degree in Engineering Management. He earlier earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from Polytechnic University in New York, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. Fadi Chehadé is also the founder of Nilorado, a youth organization raising funds to support schools for handicapped children in Upper Egypt, also delivering bicycles to boys and girls from needy families in that region who otherwise cannot reach their schools. Chehadé lives in Los Angeles with his wife of 25 years. They are the parents of two adult sons.
