McTim, Then you haven't read the Applicant Guidebook. They were REQUIRED to get this approval (or non-objection) for a geo-TLD. You will soon be surprised who have not read the Guidebook! Good catch, it is one thing to have a typo in a post to a mailing list, it is another thing to have typo's in your ICANN Application (and a MONSTER typo that changes the string you are applying for at that!! Nope. the string did not change anything and dotafrica was never considered a typo. .africa is pronounced as dotafrica, so how could it be a typo? You will also learn that soon, that they are the same string. A typo was such string .kerrylogisitics with the extra ‘I’ . Good Day. Gideon Rop.
BTW, your named is misspelled in yoour application:
Mr. Gedion Rop Project Support Engineer (DCA)
and I see that you are applying for .africa as a 'Standard" gTLD according to the public parts of your application.
Hi McTim,
"Because UniForum was apparently selected by the African Union Commission to apply on behalf of the African Community, so we believe that they should apply for a Community TLD in order for their supposed letter of appointment to be valid. If on the other hand, they failed to submit a community TLD application for .AFRICA, then it simply means that they have not lived up to the specious community support that they have received." In a nutshell,

did not receive support to apply for an African-community owned TLD, to end up applying for a standard gTLD. It is fraudulent in our estimation.
