[afrinic-discuss] AfriNIC goes live!

[Eric Osiakwan]

I agree with Badru that you guys at AfriNIC are making history and it is important that this makes headline news so lets get some news feed out there.

I can offer to do a Press Release, Adiel if this is okay then send me some material privately and we can put things together for u to okay and then we can use the HANA wire service to let it out.

>At this point, we do not have something similar to the

>Services section of our web site (www.afrinic.net).

>Further more, public information about registration in

>(port 43). You can query the server using any regular whois client.
>To have access to some advanced features, you may need to use the

>
>A web interface for whois queries will be online soon.

>We will be happy to answer any questions from you regarding this
