Dear Listers, I would like to invite you to a breakfast briefing organized by ICANN that will take place in *Nairobi on March 31, 2014*. The meeting will take place between *7.00 am - 10.00 am* at a venue to be announced later in the week As you may be aware, in August 2012 ICANN announced a new approach to Africa. http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-01aug12-en.htm The Africa Strategy document was developed by an African working group through a large consultation with the community. It is almost 2 years since the implementation of the strategy commenced. Many other important developments have happened within ICANN and the Internet ecosystem as a whole. We will take this opportunity to update you on progress so far as well as listen to your views, ideas and queries as we seek to work with you even more closely going forward. The ICANN VP - Stakeholder Engagement for Africa, Mr. Pierre Dandjinou will be in attendance. Kindly let me know if you are planning to attend *by way of emai*l for planning purposes. Thank you and I look forward to your attendance and participation. Regards Bob Ochieng ICANN
