AFRALO Quick snapshot ALSes Survey June 2010 The participation rate for the African region is quite good (almost 60%) Only 62% gave a secondary contact of ALS representative More than 38% didnt give a website address, which is a very bad index for a representative of the Internet users. Some of our ALSes still use the fax as a communication tools, but the most in use is the mailing list Most of our ALSes are using French (62%), the English users and the Arabic users represent each 31% only of the whole number. we can notice that IDN is an interesting issue for the African ALSes, but not the at the first level because there is not a big interest in using the African local languages in the top level domains. Most of the ALSes feel that the excessively technical nature and the lenth of the policy documents represent the most limitation for their participation
