What is the target number of ALSes to be invited to participate in the ICANN 47 Durban meeting? @ contacting Universities, there is a need for empowerment of National ALSes to become more active in reaching out to Universities in thier respectives local communities. taking into consideration that Universities play an important national role in Africa. They are frequently the most effectively performing institutions in their countries. Universities are the principal reservoir of skilled human resources in most African countries. University roles in research, evaluation, information transfer,and technology development are therefore critical to social progress and economic growth.
Suggest that discusion should also look at how can AFRALO works with ICANN in empowering its members to carry out more outreach within their local communities.
