>>>>>  "It is with great humility and a bright vision for AFRINIC's future

>>>>> not an easy decision for me to take, but after 10 years of engagement with

>>>>> to catch up with my family.It <http://family.it/> has been an honor

>>>>>  After leading AFRINIC's accreditation process to become the world's
>>>>> fifth Regional Internet Registry (RIR), Mr. Akplogan was appointed by the

>>>>> workforce at the Secretariat with the potential and capability to continue
>>>>> the great work started.  It has been an honor and a privilege for me to

>>>>> AFRINIC Board of Directors. "AFRINIC's success today is unequivocally a
>>>>> testament to his tireless efforts in building a sound organization centered
>>>>> on collaboration, consensus building, Internet centered value. We hope

>>>>> AFRINIC, and wish him all the best for his future endeavours."
>>>>>  Passionate about the Internet and its values, Mr. Akplogan has always
>>>>> campaigned for an Internet in Africa that is open and affordable to
>>>>> effectively support permission-less innovation as driver for sustainable
>>>>> socio-economical development in the region.
>>>>>  "Our region is so full of potentials, especially when it comes to the
>>>>> digital economy, and AFRINIC must continue to position itself to ensure it
>>>>> plays a critical role in supporting the upcoming changes," concluded Mr.
>>>>> Akplogan. "At this junction, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to
>>>>> all those who have contributed to the success of AFRINIC and to the great

>>>>> the organisation and the community. Together we have achieved great things

>>>>> the various Boards over the years, none of this would have been possible. I

>>>>> stronger in the coming years."
>>>>>  A farewell event will be organised for the outgoing CEO during
>>>>> AFRINIC-21 meeting being held in Mauritius from 22-28 November. We would

>>>>>  *Appointment of a New CEO*
>>>>>  AFRINIC Board of Directors will immediately launch a CEO search
>>>>> process that will culminate in the appointment of a new CEO as soon as
>>>>> possible. In the mean time all measure will be taken to ensure a smooth
