I would like to extend congratulations as well. This is a significant 
milestone.

I have to agree with Badru about the press release.

As an existing ARIN LIR who was transferred, I have to say that I've 
received a fair amount of correspondence from ARIN and almost none from 
AfriNIC. ARIN have been excellent at explaining what is going on, and it is 
this communication that has kept me in the loop as to what is happening.

I think it is extremely important that the LIRs (and potential LIRs) see a 
press release from AfriNIC to assure them that AfriNIC is on the ball as 
well and to inspire confidence in and awareness of the resource transfer 
process.
