[AfrICANN-discuss] From ISOC - Call for Nominations for the Jonathan B. Postel Service Award

[Vincent Ocran]

I think there should be an award for Anne-Rachel Inne within Afrinic. She
seems to be single handedly keeping us all informed and updated on issue.
With some of us having a very tight working life, what would we have done
without this super lady. Rachel I say thank you.
