[AfrICANN-discuss] Re: Recent terror attacks and planned AIS, Afrinic, Afnog Meetings in Tunisia

[Brian Munyao Longwe]

Dear Sunday,

an event of this stature, and following that, put in place specific
safeguards, guidelines and protocols because as you have indicated,
anything can happen anytime.

Best regards,

Brian
