Please do have a look and work out something for us to submit.</div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure which strategy you are talking about but i am hoping you are talking about the Africa Strategy that was put in place by the GES/Africann? If that’s the case, i think it is good to have a look at it and shape a proposal based on their priorities in Africa.</div><div><br></div><div>The document you drafted looks good to me and is a good session for AIS. May I suggest we use it and add input, speakers? We can then drop the one started by Ines to avoid duplicity? Ines, what do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>The next step will be to reach out to folks like Seun (who is an NCuC member, also on the Board of Afrinic) and other people (like Kris) who are both NcUC and are involved in our RALO. These would be good speakers.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Arsene<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature"><div>-----------------</div><div>Arsène Tungali,</div><div><a href="http://about.me/ArseneTungali">about.me/ArseneTungali</a></div><div>+243 993810967</div><div>GPG: 523644A0</div><div>Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo</div><div><br></div>Sent from my iPhone (excuse typos)</div><div><br>On Feb 14, 2018, at 10:50 PM, Akinremi Peter Taiwo <<a href="mailto:compsoftnet@gmail.com">compsoftnet@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="auto">Hi Ines and Arsene, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> I'm just curious to ask if this opportunity can be use to attend internet freedom forum this year in Abuja.
