Hi Arsène, Thanks for your kind words, and I look forward to reading your contributions to the statement. It would be good to hear your thoughts as well on whether Africa, as a region, is best served by ICANN's geographical classifications? Is this useful, a continuation of an unequal world system à la Wallerstein or Gunder Frank, or something else? I haven't as much exposure to Africa as I have had other regions, but the idea that 53 countries (plus a few disputed ones…) from north to south, with different languages, climates, and political systems would have enough in common to be grouped into one region in ICANN work seems far fetched to me…? This is more for my personal interest, I'd stress -- the remit of this Working Group is not (actively) exploring the creation of new regions. Best wishes, Ayden
