BACKGROUND</font><br clear="none">
<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
On 14th March 2014, the U.S. Government announced its intent to</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
multistakeholder</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">

<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
Following this announcement, ICANN, was tasked with facilitating the</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
development of a global, and representative proposal based on the</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
following principles:</font><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
1. Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;</font><br clear="none">
<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
2. Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;</font><br clear="none">
<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
3. Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
partners of the IANA services;</font><br clear="none">
<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
4. Maintain the openness of the Internet.</font><br clear="none">
<br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
5. The proposal must not replace the NTIA role with a</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.</font><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was formed in</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
July 2014 (</font><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship" style="color:rgb(68, 68, 68);"><span style="color:#0068CF;">https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship</span></a><font color="#444444">), and
tasked with</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
assembling and delivering a proposal to NTIA through the ICANN Board.</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
The ICG constituted three special interest groups representing the</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
Domain Names community (NRO members), Numbering Resources community</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
(CWG), and the Protocol Parameters community (IETF),</font><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
ICG shall compile the proposals from the three communities into a</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
single proposal which the ICG shall submit to the board for review,</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
and the board shall forward the final proposal to NTIA.</font><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">
The three communities affected by IANA functions, IETF (handling</font><br clear="none"><font color="#444444">

Indeed since that announcement, the global community has worked tirelessly and with great resilience and determination resulting in two parallel processes in response to the 14 March announcement. This has seen the multistakeholder community develop two parallel processes namely:</div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style=""></div><ul><li><span style="line-height:1.38;"><b>IANA Stewardship Transition:</b> Focused on delivering a proposal to transition the stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder community.</span></li><li><span style="line-height:1.38;"><b>Enhancing ICANN Accountability:</b> Focused on ensuring that ICANN remains accountable in the absence of its historical contractual relationship with the U.S. Government.</span><br clear="none"></li></ul><br clear="none"><div style="">As a neutral convener of the dialogue, ICANN has an important responsibility of raising awareness about the processes as they evolve and to support the community’s engagement. Of great concern is the low level of meaningful participation witnessed so far from Africa. In 2014, ICANN participated in 11 events and 5 webinars / teleconferences to raise awareness on this issue in Africa. But clearly, from the response so far, a lot still needs to be done to stimulate the African community to participate effectively.</div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style="">It is based on this background and analysis that the ICANN Africa team resolved to launch an<b> IANA Stewardship Transition & Enhancing ICANN Accountability </b>revival month in April 2015. The target is to organize 1-2 hour sessions / webinars / teleconferences or face-to-face meetings in various countries’ in Africa at different times and dates led by local community leaders and stakeholders in the internal ecosystem at the National Level. ICANN staff will be available to support and reinforce the meetings either by contributing on presentations as well as online meeting resources as appropriate. The intention is to end up with formal communiqué from different countries on their perspective on both processes at least from each country where such meetings will be held. Such communiqué could be addressed to the ICG as appropriate.</div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style="">By the end of this exercise, we hope to have stirred debate and enhanced the understanding and interest of the Internet communities in the countries participating to come up with national positions, Comments or Communiqué to the ICG. Such communiqués will not be limited to governments but other stakeholder groups in the various countries (Such as ISOC chapters, registrar associations etc.) would also be free to express their positions directly to the ICG. ICANN Africa staff would also summarize the month’s activities in a blog post to be published at the end of April.</div><div style="">Ghana has been selected as one of the few countries where face-to-face meeting will be held during the month because of the leadership role Ghana is taking to build its Internet infrastructure.</div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style="">We will like on behalf of ICANN Africa to invite you to make the Ghana- Accra stakeholder meeting to be held at KOFI ANNAN CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN IT (KACE-AITI) Ghana, on Wednesday, 29 April, 2015 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm UTC a succes.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style=""><b>DETAILS FOR ONLINE PARTICIPATION AS FOLLOWS:</b></div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style=""><b>ICANN LINK:</b></div><div style="">URL for online participation adobeconnect is as follows:<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://icann.adobeconnect.com/gse-Afr/" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none;">https://icann.adobeconnect.com/gse-Afr/</a></div><div style="">OPTION II for audio: call from skype <a href="" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">+1-877-860-3058</a></div><div style="">Participant code is 3247098257</div><div style=""><br clear="none"></div><div style=""><span style="line-height:1.38;"><b>ISOC LINK:</b></span><br clear="none"></div><div style="">Click to Join ISOC WebEx <br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https://isoc.webex.com/isoc/j.php&h=EAQFO-PUH&enc=AZNZYID_cTK2lanbUIDLUGRE4VyW7MOel7P-_QItzXHTcGp40qwLhHbhrntwlQjr5rekWBRhZnh9n1My0Lx94iv7PaMflDZ5DTVjS60R2lMtTshSRz0qiA0H4tf8bvbhBFwmw2KEuPd_fHpHspNVF5Rvnx21zyyBtGz375snAMkwqA&s=1" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none;">https://isoc.webex.com/isoc/j.php</a>…</div><div style="">Meeting number: 920 597 444<br clear="none">Meeting password: IANA_Ghana</div><div style="display:inline;">Join by phone<br clear="none">1-650-479-3208 Call-in toll number (US/Canada)<br clear="none">Access code: 920 597 444</div></div></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Please do notify me when having difficulty connecting through the following details:</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Skype: wisdom_dk</div><div>Email: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com">wisdom.dk@gmail.com</a></div><div>Tel: <a href="" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">+233 208128851</a></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Hope to see you all!!</div><div><br clear="none"></div><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>WISDOM DONKOR (S/N Eng.)<br clear="none"></div><div>ICANN Fellow</div>Web/Open Government Platforms Specialist<br clear="none"><div><div>National Information Technology Agency (NITA) <br clear="none"></div><div>Post Office Box CT. 2439, Cantonments, Accra, Ghana</div><div>Tel; +233 20 812881</div><div>Email: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:wisdom_dk@hotmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:wisdom_dk@hotmail.com">wisdom_dk@hotmail.com</a><br clear="none"></div><div><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:wisdom.donkor@data.gov.gh" target="_blank" href="mailto:wisdom.donkor@data.gov.gh">wisdom.donkor@data.gov.gh</a><br clear="none"></div><div><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com">wisdom.dk@gmail.com</a><br clear="none"></div><div>Skype: wisdom_dk</div><div>facebook: facebook@wisdom_dk<br clear="none"></div><div>Website: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.nita.gov.gh/">www.nita.gov.gh</a> / <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.data.gov.gh/">www.data.gov.gh</a><br clear="none"></div><div><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.isoc.gh/">www.isoc.gh</a> / <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.itag.org.gh/">www.itag.org.gh</a> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div>
