<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear
Colleagues, <br>
<br>
During the ICANN Prague meeting an ICANN Africa Strategy working
group (ASWG) was set up to </span>develop a framework for
ICANN's Africa strategy . <br>
The strategy will aim to support a stronger presence for ICANN in
Africa and to increase African participation in ICANN as well as
promote the multi-stakeholder model.<br>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This effort forms part of ICANN's
global strategy with a special focus on developing countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The group has now posted working
documents for comments and contributions here: <span
