Some people like Nii Quaynor claimed, however, that DCA has criticized everyone involved with [[.africa]]. However Nii is among those mentioned extensively in the No Campaigns as he played a key role on behalf of "dotafrica.org,", a domain which he personally registered to pursue .africa as a ccTLD, before DCA came in the scene and campaigned for the .africa gTLD. The domain dotafrica.org is now used as the front face of ZACR Registry therefore evidencing that Quaynor fought to have dotafrica for himself.
