  Mohamed EL Bashir: (13:58) I want ICANN to ensure that the DNS systen ( technical function ) works as its should, so i can use the internet.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (14:09) agree Narelle

  Seun Ojedeji: (14:17) +1 Mohamed so basically for me the public wants noting from ICANN but the pubic wants an internet that works for them. I am here participating in ICANN because I know ICANN forms one of the component that makes internet work.

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:25) Many times the underlying issues that make the internet work are ignored

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:31) the user will care when a problem arises

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (14:32) there's an after ICANN???

  Seun Ojedeji: (14:34) perhaps for those who have been participating in ICANN and no longer perticipating. Those may be the "after ICANNs"

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:43) Most users do not know or even have an Idea what ICANN is

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:44) Even the technical persons have little or no knowledge at all of ICANN

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:46) When the need to arises to understand what the Internet is that is when need arises and somehow ICANN begins to appear

  Daniel K. Nanghaka: (14:48) When policy and regulation begins to come to play that is when the issues of numbers come up and then ICANN appears

  Isaac Maposa: (15:00) Will dissect the public into two, One that already involved in the IG and ICT space who have knowledge of how the Internet work and the DNS and who is responsible for it to work and those who just know there is the Internet and all they want is to access the resources they want on the Internet. This later group don't care about ICANN because most of them do not know it exists. And from where I come from, when the Internet doesn't work they just face they service providers and it is the service provider who knows about ICANN and the underlying infrastructure that makes the Internet work. Directly the general public don't want anything from ICANN, but indirectly they do because they expect the Internet to work, and this is ICANN's responsibility to make sure the Internet is stable and secure.

  Yesim Nazlar 2: (15:09) Thank you for your participation. The meeting is now adjourned.
