As a community-driven page and website (e.g. that wiki Nishal has been
talking about) - I'll say it's ok
As something under AFRINIC.net domain (implicit AFRINIC endorsement) ----
I'm strongly against it.


Anyone can claim to be a consultant and your credibility in that role has
to be more than just your name on some list.

Here's who this could work with a community driven platform

a) Create the platform (e.g. wiki) --- I'm sure AFRINIC won't mind putting
hosting one
b) Various experts & consultants contribute content - how tos, deployment
experiences, case studies etc (thereby building reputation and credibility)
c) Have a page on that platform for "Consultants/trainers directory"


For AFRINIC to do this (implicitly endorse someone, they'll have to have
some means of verifying those claims one expertise .... quite a dicey
proposition that can be done but at a cost)
