[afrinic-discuss] AfriNIC goes live!

[Adiel A. AKPLOGAN]

Hello Badru,

The idea looks great, but I think a Press release will
have a greater impact in April wen ICANN will give us
the final recognition!

We are still in PHASE II :) and there is one last phase
which is PHASE III where we will be running without the
second opinion. And this is schedule for less than two
months.

Cheers.

Adiel.

>At this point, we do not have something similar to the
>'LIR portal' (RIPE NCC) or 'MyAPNIC' (APNIC). All updates
>must be done through our e-mail interface. Please find the
>necessary information under the Database and Registration
>Services section of our web site (www.afrinic.net).

>Further more, public information about registration in
>the AfriNIC service region is now provided by whois.afrinic.net
>(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
>RIPE NCC whois client which can be found at:
>
>http://sourceforge.net/projects/whois/.
>
>A web interface for whois queries will be online soon.
>
>We will be happy to answer any questions from you regarding this
>process. Please send your questions to transition at afrinic.net.
