[Npoc-discuss] Notes from NPOC Chair

[Olévié Kouami]

Thank you so much for this update dear Chair.
I warmly hope that very soon, the NPOC will finally find its way in this
ecosystem.

Hopefully, i'll have something consistant to share with you as experience
and testimonies. I'm trying to organize a national DNS FORUMS here in
Senegal, my new residence, and in Togo.
As a civil society organization, wearing my double hats of a representative
of an ALS and a member of the NPOC. So, I'll need your support to succeed
in these activities.

A part from that, i'm actually approached by a registrant who is in dispute
with the registrar/registry (as we usually seen in our region) about a name
paid but finally not attributed because there an error during the process
of selling and buying. The both parties doesn't consult the naming charter
before the conclusion. It's later that the registrar has realised its error
and decided to block and deny this contact.
Even that the dispute is a CCTLD one, i've been approached as a member of
ICANN community to assis. Fortunatelly, i was part of these committees
which elaborate the naming charter and the dispute resolution process in
year 2013 in Togo. I was then able to explain to the registrant the why and
the how his plea will be treated.
Just to expose how people  persaw us in this ecosystem..
My 2 cents
Olévié

is collaborating with ALAC to explore how we can share resources and
educate not for profit organizations about the Domain Name System. NPOC
will use the info to a) establish and strengthen strategic regional
