AFRALO Roundtable: Enhancing Internet Infrastructure in Africa
High-Level Notes
Nii Quaynor - Need short and long term plans. The short-term plans need to fit into longer term plans.
Alan Barrett - Suggested more training is needed to reduce scope for human mistakes. It is important to have solid infrastructure. For example, need more than two name-servers.
Mr. Audace Niyonkuru- Protecting the digital economy is important. Most pressing cybersecurity is growing mistrust from end users. It makes changes very hard. What is needed is more capacity building and a space for dialogue for end users and service providers.
Dr. Catherine Adeya - Need for digital literacy and lack of local language content are key factors. There are over 3,000 local African languages. Local content is key.

Action Items
Conclusion: (which may be useful to add to the AFRALO-AFRICANN statement)
Recommendations to ICANN org
• What can ICANN org and ICANN stakeholders do to improve internet infrastructure?
• ICANN can help policy makes and legislators by building the capacity of legislators so they themselves can explain and bring what we need to do in Africa. ICANN can assist by highlighting policies to assist the private sector.
• Raise awareness, increase root instances and servers, as the next billion users will come from Africa, there will be questions about accessibility and what it means to be connected.
• DNS infrastructure relies heavily on the underlying Internet infrastructure and anything that we can do to improve implement infrastructure will help the DNS, make more exchange points, putting more links between borders between countries , Increase root servers instances and resolvers.
