Dear Members,<br>
<br>
I am pleased to inform you that the board has completed the process for<br>
the recruitment of the Chief Executive Officer of AFRINIC.<br>
<br>
Mr Alan Barrett will assume the role of CEO of AFRINIC with effect from<br>
20th April 2015 for a term of 3 years in the first instance. He replaces<br>
Mr Adiel Akplogan, who served as the Pioneer CEO, until January 2015.<br>
<br>
Alan Barrett's involvement with the Internet began in 1989, when he was<br>
a lecturer in the Electronic Engineering department at the University of<br>
Natal, Durban, South Africa. During 1990 and 1991, he played a key part<br>
in the transformation of the South African universities network to the<br>
TCP/IP protocols and in its connection to the global Internet. He<br>
operated the primary name server for .ZA at that time.<br>
<br>
He was a co-founder of South Africa's first commercial Internet service<br>
provider, in 1993.<br>
<br>
In 1997, he was one of the four authors of the proposal to form AFRINIC,<br>
and he served on the AFRINIC Board from its inception until 2009. He<br>
has been a member of the ASO Address Council since 2005. He is<br>
currently a member of the CRISP Team, which drafted the number resource<br>
community's response to the ICG's request for proposals. He is also a<br>
member of the ICG, which is preparing a proposal for the transition of<br>
the IANA functions away from oversight by the US government's NTIA.<br>
<br>
He was also one of the founding members of the South African chapter of<br>
the Internet Society, and one of the founding members of Namespace ZA,<br>
an organisation that was intended to oversee the .ZA ccTLD before that<br>
role was taken over by legislation.<br>
<br>
Join me in congratulating Alan, and wishing him the best in his new<br>
position.<br>
<br>
<br>
Yours Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Sunday Folayan<br>
Chair, AFRINIC Board<br>
