Neither is AfriNIC. This is the first time we are also hearing about
this<br>
AIF meeting and it is unfortunate that no consultation nor
coordination<br>
has took place before such planing and public announcement. Both
AfriNIC<br>
and AfNOG have meeting committee working on the Nairobi event and we
do<br>
not received any request from the 'AIF' organizers nor AfriSPA in
that<br>
regard either. Taking that step would have save us this kind of
confusion<br>
and all comments which have followed!<br><br>
I think its time for us to start working effectively together to
make<br>
a better use of our poor resources and stop wasting time, energy and<br>
resource doing same things and in an uncoordinated way.<br><br>
I hope all this will be solved behind the scene in a peaceful way
for<br>
the best interest of our community.<br><br>

I'll pay for the beer (OK .... Red Label) in Nairobi, so that we can
discuss how this type of misunderstanding will not happen again, for the
sake of the Networking community in Africa.<br><br>
Peace.<br><br>
