[governance] Good Bye .DOTAFRICA: ICANN Approves the Change Request Made by DotConnectAfrica Trust for Its .Africa

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Success in terms of numbers? It depends on how much their marketing skills
match their skills in high decibel politicking. Convincing companies with
.eg, .ng, .za etc domains to get themselves .africa in addition / as a
substitute may or may not be easy.  They could certainly learn from .asia's
experience I'd say.
