EU Blockchain Observatory & Domain Name System Management

[Olévié Kouami]

Greetings from Lomé, Togo dear Sam.

And thanks a lot for this food of though.

Surely ICANN is will work on this which has invaded the world.

It is also necessary to be in Africa to see how the crytocurrency, in
particular, accompanied by the promotion of the "crowdfunding" notions are
taken the magnitude in the ecosystem.

Surely, the Afica Union Commission, will need to setup such an observatory
for Africa too.
