[AfrICANN-discuss] Tr : Any update on this? (Was Re Fwd: [members-discuss] AFRINIC Board of Directors Announces Departure of AFRINIC CEO Adiel A. Akplogan)

Thu Nov 20 15:33:18 UTC 2014

Since AFRINIC21 is happening in two day's time, I am betting everybody is
too busy planning, preparing, ...

It would not hurt to wait and hear at the actual meeting in Mauritius.

Regards
