.africa gTLD

I propose the creation of .africa gTLD as a shared registry, which
should be included in the first group of new registries. Such a
decision should lead to a more vibrant Internet in Africa. As a matter
of fact, it would:

- Give the African private sector a level playing field vis-a-vis the
country domains (ISO 3166) monopolies, managed by Government agencies.

- Create a free and competitive climate, attractive to private
investment capital and financial institutions, business partnerships,
etc.

- Lend substance to a pending proposal for the creation of NICAFRICA.

Finally, even though the name proposed here exceeds by one character the
word length (5 characters) recommended by the IAHC, an extra byte should
not prevent the IAHC from considering this proposition. Otherwise, an
alternate name could be .afriq.
