Isto surge na sequência da necessidade de melhorar o intercâmbio decente, salvaguardando e assegurando simultaneamente que temos uma forte comunidade africana. Há necessidade de melhor integrar a nossa juventude e de garantir que as suas contribuições nos ajudam a construir o futuro da economia digital em África e a aderir ao código de conduta estabelecido pelos membros veteranos da comunidade. A sessão incluirá apresentações e painéis de discussão em torno da promoção de um ambiente seguro e inclusivo para os jovens, pessoas com deficiência e mulheres, no espaço tecnológico africano da Internet.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="en-MU" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Cumprimentos,</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="en-MU" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Eddy Kayihura</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Chefe do Executivo,</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Centro de Informação da Rede Africana (AFRINIC)</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><a href="mailto:ceo@afrinic.net" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">ceo@afrinic.net</a></span><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="en-MU" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">_______________________________________________</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">Community-Discuss mailing list</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="mailto:Community-Discuss@afrinic.net" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">Community-Discuss@afrinic.net</a><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss</a></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
