That unfortunately is up to the professors to make happen. Most professors
in african universities just don't think at that level.
Here's what we can do: IF there's a professor in a university somewhere
that actually wants to do this but doesn't know how, we can help him
research and write the proposal, identify required skills and connect them
at the right places.


It's about the same question: why do africans not really participate at the
IETF?

Teaching and research. Even thought it's debatable how many universities
actuall deliver on this

like anchors, neither AFRINIC nor ICANN can host any server. The problem
has always been finding an organisation that's willing to host an instance
of the server.

How many instances of the root servers are in Cameroon? Anyone willing to
host? let me know and I can talk to the right people
