Popularized during ICANN 42 was "[[batching]]", the term for dividing [[new gTLD]] applications into manageable batches of 500. During a [[GNSO]] working session in Dakar, ICANN Senior Vice President [[Kurt Pritz]] announced that the date of submission during an application window will not be a factor in determining placement, meaning all applicants who filed between January 12th and April 12th would have an equal opportunity of being in any batch. ICANN did not detail how the batches would be processed, though a "charity auction" method had been ruled out and a random selection seemed preferred, if workable under proper laws.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6618-new-gtlds-no-advantage-to-applying-early New gTLDs: no advantage to applying early], DomainIncite.com.

An extension of a 2009 document outlining the capacity building needs of [[AFRALO]] to inform and educate its representatives on ICANN activities, AFRALO held a series of capacity building sessions in Dakar. More than 20 representatives from African [[ALS|At-Large Structure]]s joined the meetings, which had about 300 people in attendance.
