[governance] Internet Technical Community Background Document to OECD Ministerial

[BAUDOUIN SCHOMBE]

very interesting debate in which very little African takes part and yet the
problem of technical Community relates to all the countries of the world
without exception.

For my part these process testify to ignorance of these challenge in Africa
and also difficulty which we have to reach the Net with a good flow. In
Africa majority of Net using is done within the framework of service and
cybercafés. In some countries this use starts to be common in residence,
only in capitals or big cities. In services and cybercafés users are for
majority ignore name of navigator who allows them to sail on the fabric. Out
put the data processing specialists and impassioned technologies others have
for only concern of having access to their Web pages. For the case of the
data processing specialists they are more occupied making turn their
systems, to try to include/understand why the Net spends its time releasing
them where has to already allow an acceptable flow to employees. Under such
conditions it is difficult to take part in some important debate. Another
problem is channel of information moving. How much people and which are the
categories of people who have access to information in Africa?Another matter
come from numeric illiteracy.

debate on " technical community "' concept would deserve to be clearly
specified so to extend debate to multiactors engaged in challenge of Net of
future.
