<p dir="ltr">Thank you so much for this update dear Chair. <br>
I warmly hope that very soon, the NPOC will finally find its way in this ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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. <br>
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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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. <br>
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. <br>
Just to expose how people persaw us in this ecosystem.. <br>
My 2 cents<br>
