I was the principal speaker at that conference, and in preparation for coming to Gaborone, I found both the speech that I gave and the book that was published containing the conference proceedings. I'm looking through this material, it was really interesting to look at what we knew then and how we conceptualized it, and what we have now and how we see our current achievements and obstacles. I suspect that many AFRINIC attendees will not have been around for the last 18 years and might be interested in this history.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would want to confer with some of my colleagues (listed above, as well as others) to flesh out the composition of the participants and the structure and length of the session.
