@raymond ambition. is great. Ghana is hosting the Regional meeting in July and you want her to host again. In 2011 I did initiate the hosting of an ICANN meeting in Nigeria with Mary Ogunma then. The AFRALO Leadership then were quite supportive. I think this time is the best time to renew that quest. Nigeria the richest and greatest country in Africa
