This would mean that DCA will have access to nearly all the international and Africa based premium brand names that would register the .africa top level domain name. Additionally, an opportunity is created for doing business and developing the .africa brand in Africa and globally. "It is a win-win situation for both sides" , said Bekele accepting the endorsement. "Branding is key for market access and staying power, so will these heavy hitters benefit from building their brands using the '.africa' name" Established in 1993, the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is at the forefront of strengthening and facilitating the commercial relationship between the United States and the African continent. CCA works closely with governments, multilateral groups and business to improve the African continent's trade and investment climate, and to raise the profile of Africa in the US business community. In a move to encourage small and medium sized enterprises to be involved in the value chain and increase two-way trade between U.S and Sub-Saharan Africa, CCA also recently launched the US Africa Business Center (USABC). CCA members believe that Africa's future success depends upon the ability of its entrepreneurs and business people to create and retain wealth through private enterprise. American corporations and private individuals can contribute most effectively by building partnership and reaching out to the African private sector in the areas that America knows best: private enterprise, investment capital, technology transfer and management. CCA programs are designed to bring together potential business partners and raise Africa's investment profile in the US by developing critical contacts and business relationships and providing a forum for the exchange of information and ideas. "I look forward with anticipation to the implementation of the” dotafrica” initiative", said the endorsement letter signed by President and CEO of CCA, Mr. Stephen Hayes. "Should this project come to fruition, we will encourage our members to use these services", CCA ONLINE PROFILE http://www.africacncl.org/% CCA DECEMBER NEWSLETTER https://custom.cvent.com/ # # # DCA is a not-for-profit, non-partisan org incorporated in Mauritius Africa & will sponsor, establish & operate a TLD registry with global recognition & regional significance dedicated to the needs of Pan-African &African community.
