Seasons greetings for a most prosperous 2013 to all! The Africa strategy which was presented in Toronto (ICANN 45) has now entered its implementation phase with the adoption of an action plan covering the rest of ICANN's fiscal year (FY13) ending on June 2013. The action plan derived from the Africa strategy, will help implement a series of seven (7) priority projects , including ICANN's further engagement with I*, particularly the African Internet related Organizations and businesses, an all Africa workshop on the DNS industry, a DNSSEC roadshow, the ICANN academy, the ambassador programme , the incubator programme for DNS industry and business development. The latter will be launched in July 2013 (FY14), together with another series of projects. Implementation of the work plan will require strategic partnerships with other institutions active in the field , and will rely on African and foreign expertise. Best regards Pierre Dandjinou VP, Africa -- _______________________________________________ AfrICANN mailing list AfrICANN@afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann
