DotConnectAfrica's response to dot Africa Reserve Name Policy Discussions (Introduction)
DotConnectAfrica has been made aware the proposed discussion in the above subject on the kictanet mailing lists.
We understand that there should be ongoing discussions that pertain to the anticipated .africa top level domain name. However DotConnectAfrica feels obliged to inform the general Listers who may have questions like Mr. Michael Bullut below, that while the discussions are being conducted no organization has been given the mandate to run the registry, since both applicants for .africa new gTLD applications are undergoing initial evaluations, and not even the evaluation results are published.
In the interests of full disclosure, you should also say that the GAC has given advice that your bid should not continue and that advice has been accepted by the Board Committee that deals with the new gTLDs. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
