[AfrICANN-discuss] Management of African ccTLDs: Panne du .td?

[Jean Robert Hountomey]

 From what I heard there is a need for help with a lot of things going 
on, New IP Blocs,
IANA database update etc...

Anyway I forward his issues to AfriNIC hoping that they can help and I 
told him that the whole African community is there to help.
