This was the position of the Vice President at ICANN for
Africa, Mr. Pierre Dandjinou in an exclusive interview with ITRealms, at the
weekend.
Reviewing Fadi’s era in ICANN and associated expansion
strategy, he said, there have always been concerns on how to improve the lots
of the Africa continent participation in ICANN and overall Internet ecosystem.
Dandjinou pointed out that since the implementation of the
Africa Strategy commenced in ICANN, the continent has set the bar on a few
levels, including being the first region to develop a bottom-up Strategic Plan
under ICANN.
This, Dandjinou said, has been emulated by several other
regions of the world, declaring, “We have also pioneered a few ideas such as
the Domain Name System (DNS( forum.”
He believes Fadi’s support and commitment to ICANN
globalization and specifically to Africa, paved the way to the realization of
some of the milestones achieved till date.
“Today there is improved ICANN visibility in Africa, which
wasn’t there three years ago,” he asserted, emphasizing that moving forward,
the continent must build on this foundation for better engagement and
participation in ICANN community.
He, therefore, urged Africans within the ICANN ecosystem to
work together so as to build partnerships, precisely while implementing the
Africa Strategy for the financial year 2016 through 2010.
