    establishing the very successful African Internet Numbers Registry, AfriNIC,
    and for his leadership and service to the African technical community.
    AfNOG presented the Award during its 10th anniversary meeting held in Cairo,

    an active technical community in Africa. This has resulted in the growth of
    a more robust Internet in Africa and developed an active technical community
    of LIRs developing policies appropriate for the region. This has enabled
    development of numerous applications throughout  Africa impacting education,
    health and commerce in a notable way" said Nii Quaynor, Convener of AfNOG

    prestigious Jonathan Postel Award in 2007.
