In the final interview of this ccTLD training programme, Abdillahi Youssouf Ibrahim, Ingénieur Système et Sécurité at Djibouti Telecom and manager of the .dj registry, reflects on what the training brought him. He discusses:
- The technical improvements underway at .dj: local infrastructure upgrades, regulatory work, and automating the registry chain toward the 3R model
- Why exchange between African registries is one of the most valuable parts of this kind of training
- How different African ccTLDs are at different levels of maturity — and what that reveals, even for registries that seem "roughly perfect"
- The .dj registry's steady growth (around 2,000 new registrations every two years) and the regulatory gap still to close
A thoughtful close to the training, underlining regional collaboration as key to strengthening Africa's domain ecosystem.
