So what, this is just one person's opinion and means nothing, in fact<br>
focuses only on endorsement issues and not the merit of the .africa<br>
application. However DCA's announcement is a significant update, as the<br>
industry needs to be informed, including you and some people who made<br>
comments on .dotafrica on this forum. as well as the competition which<br>
falsely claimed "ICANN says there is only one .africa".<br>

Good day<br>
