Dear Julie, I will attend the ICANN 55 meeting in Marrakech and since the DNS.PT is helping some African ccTLDs (for instance .CV, .AO, .GW), for some years now, regarding with technical and legal needs and also with DNSSEC training and configuration, I could do a brief presentation explaining how far have we come on the round with helping them, if you believe that this is appropriated and that you still have some scheduled left to fill in the DNSSEC Workshop agenda.
