[Chapter-delegates] [Durban-workshop-2013] I root server copy in Kigali, Rwanda .. ongoing installation

[Mamadou Diallo Iam]

Hi All,

I expereinced the same situation in Mali, although I have been involved as Deputy Facilitator by our government agency in charge of the IXP AXIS Project I just heard of some weeks before de workshop.

I have send same sort of mail asking more infos from ISOC Global and till now I received no reply.

We must ask Dawit Bekele to forward our request officially to ISOC Global in order to be heard on this issue.

Yours, Mamadou.


J'ai vécu la même situation au Mali, bien que finalement j'ai été coopté comme Facilitateur Adjoint par l'agence gouvernementale en charge de l'Atelier d'AXIS, projet dont j'avais entendu parlé juste quelques semaines avant le dit Atelier.

J'ai envoyé un email pour demander plus d’informations a ISOC International et jusqu’à ce jour je n'ai reçu aucune réponse.

Nous devons demander a Dawit Bekele de faire suivre notre plainte officiellement a Isoc Internationale afin d'etre entendu sur ce sujet.

Sincèrement votre, Mamadou.


 
Dr Mamadou Diallo Iam,
Stratégie de Développement des TIC,
FK 33, Porte 225, Faso Kanu, Magnanbougou
Bamako, Mali, 00 223 6683 4486.

For instance, I learnt about the IXP project in my country a few days before a workshop was held in conjunction with the ministry of communications, ISOC Global (Jane Coffin, Dir. Int'l Strategy ISOC Global was in town) and the AU.

The local chapters can have a strong influence in helping our governments and other stakeholders (ISPs etc...) adopt best practices (policies, technical,...) and values eschewed by ISOC, if they are empowered accordingly. This only makes sense for after all, we are on our home soil and understand better than any outsider the real issues on the ground.
