Congratulations Pierre, to you and the rest of the team. And I wish you all the best in doing this task. It might be worth exploring enhanced cooperation and partnership with other groups and communities such as Afralo, Africann, the regional IGFs, to mention a few. This is an opportunity to address Africa's critical internet resource issues and there is no better effort than to include representations from movements that have been discussing these in the recent past.

Nnenna and all,
Let's go for efficiency and not representation; for what I know, the African Union Commission did invite 22 people on a personal basis and only 11 were able to make it to Addis. By the way, the initial group invited included experts from NG, .KE, .EG, .SN..et al. and also 5 women.
This representation thing cost us 10 years before we could incept Afrinic..Finally, I think the list of experts appended to the Communique of the AUC is the one of those who could attend the meeting and that the AUC has promised to get in touch with other potential experts to be included in the dotafrica Taskforce.
In hope this serves!
Pierre

Just tweeted my initial reaction. I see zero representation from Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt on the Task Force.
