Msimang will bring vast ICT experience to ICANN board – Ndabeni-Abrahams
Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams on Monday welcomed the appointment of Mandla Msimang to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) board, saying she would bring vast experience in information and communications technology (ICT) policy.
A seasoned regulatory expert with a focus on ICT regulation, public policy and competition policy, Msimang founded Pygma Consulting in 2007 and now serves as chief executive officer at Nozala Investments.
“Ms Mandla Msimang’s appointment comes at a time that the department is charged with positioning South Africa as a leader in the fourth industrial revolution, creating an enabling environment for the uptake and usage of the internet; as well as developing internet governance protocols that are commensurate to international standards," Ndabeni-Abrahams said in a statement.
"We wish her great success in this new role and have the utmost confidence that her vast experience in ICT policy and regulation will add much credence to the ICANN Board."
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation. The newly appointed board members will commence their term of office pursuant to the ICANN66 Annual General Meeting to be held on November 2 to 7, in Montréal, Canada.
