Wed Aug 1 00:03:32 EEST 2018

Ok Thanks all, Here are the results I have compiled
Afrotribune: Ask for more information about the noncommercial nature of the
organization
Franco: approved
Mylarpa: Approved, communicate more information about the mission of NCSG.
Eric: Approved
Jonathan: Rejected

*Name: *AFROTRIBUNE MEDIA FOUNDATION
*Country: *Ghana
*Website: *https://afrotribune.com
*Application date: *Friday, July 20, 2018 - 00:00
*How is the organisation funded?:*

Things have never been more exciting in Africa than they are now and the
continent's burgeoning tech space is all anyone can talk about. Pushing
African content at this moment is a very critical phase in Africa's rise to
join the on-going tech revolution. Together with 40 young journalits, we
decided to create Afrotribune. I was created in June 2017.
It's not clear for me how will they are connected with ICANN interests
beyond informative tasks (JR)
Sounds like it's a profit making company but I could be wrong. We need to
ask for more information unless someone can find out whether they are an
NGO. (RP)
RG: Does not look like a non-commercial civil society organization.
Rejected.
FB: Ask for more information/ clarify the nature of their organization, if
commercial reject.

I have a personal interest in making sure that commercial interests are

commercially winning but only with integrity. I would not do anything to
violate these principles. I always maintain independent professional
judgment in my career. When I speak personally at ICANN, I will look out

roles and personal participation.
