  3. Mohamed (Mo) Elbashir

    Thanks Everyone for the productive call, we will post the new agreed topics and new proposed topics beside the WG action items in the wiki

      Hello Mohamed,

      Concerning the last item which went through very quickly due to time constraints, I have a suggestion to make

      Replace "ICANN's accountability and Jurisdiction" by "ICANN's Accountability and Transparency" and keep "ICANN and IGF Activities"

      Based on its multistakeholder model, same as ICANN, the Internet Governance Forum has through the years gathered lots of momentum. Many of us from Africa do participate in IGF activities and by discussing as a hot topic we can bring to agenda more participation of ICANN in IGF activities, especially related to our region.

      I can elaborate more on our next conference call

      Thanks and best regards

      Dave
