I am happy to let you know that our meeting, the Africa Internet Summit, 2020, will be held online on 14-18 September 2020. The delay in deciding the date was as a consequence of numerous considerations, many of which are related to the effects of Covid-19. This is the first time the annual meeting is held online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The meeting was scheduled to take place in the Democratic Republic of Congo in June 2020. The Africa Internet Summit, 2020 will a provide a platform for ICT experts, government and business officials and executives, civil society, researchers/scholars, and others to discuss policies, trends and challenges relating to Internet use, effects and developments particularly in Africa and the Indian Ocean Region. It will consist of presentations, policy discussions, and sessions for sharing and discussing various issues of great interest. The meeting is hosted and organized by the African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) in collaboration with the African Network Operators Group (AfNOG). Our last meeting, The Africa Internet Summit, 2019 was held in Kampala, Uganda. It was attended by delegates from 56 countries around the world. The registration and meeting platform details for the event will be shared soon. Your active participation will be invaluable to the success of the meeting. We will keep you posted as we work towards the success of the meeting. Regards, Eddy ????????. Chers coll?gues, J'esp?re que vous vous portez bien et que vous ?tes en s?curit?. Je suis heureux de vous faire savoir que notre r?union, le Sommet Internet de l?Afrique 2020, se tiendra en ligne du 14 au 18 septembre 2020.

La r?union est accueillie et organis?e par l'African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) en collaboration avec le Groupe des op?rateurs de r?seaux africains (AfNOG).

In January, 2020 AFRINIC as the regional Internet registry for the African region and custodian of this continent?s Internet number resources kicked off a project to review and update all WHOIS database records to guarantee the WHOIS database accuracy. As you can imagine this project is a massive undertaking not only in terms of human resources working on it but also the due diligence requirements that are needed to deal with this matter to guarantee the highest degrees of accuracy possible. As I mentioned in my previous communication in phase one of this project we have managed to reclaim over 1 million IPv4 addresses. /Reclaimed addresses are those IP addresses that have been de-registered (deleted) from the WHOIS database.? Upon their deletion, AFRINIC has quarantined these IPs until such time that they can be brought back to the available AFRINIC pool./ We also managed to reverse the registration of over 300K IPv4 addresses. /Reversals on IP address prefixes usually will entail reversing some changes that were made to them on the AFRINIC WHOIS database. These IP prefixes will continue to be present in the AFRINIC WHOIS database with changes to some of its attributes. / We are still investigating over 2 million IPv4 addresses which is why I cannot go into too much detail on a public mailing list. Having said that we are working on producing a full report for the community as soon as we legally can. I ask the AFRINIC members and community for its kind understanding on the matter and I promise more will follow soon. As for other matters such as route leaks or hijacks and other Internet incidents that might occur on the Internet routing table, AFRINIC in its mandate as custodian of the resources has no mandate to act as the routing police. The boundaries of what AFRINIC can and cannot do are based on the policies that the community has defined and those are all available on our website. You will also understand that we prefer not discuss member specific complaint on mailing-list. We still have the duty to maintain confidentiality in all matters concerning both our members as well as other parties with whom we have a working relationship. However, should you have valid concerns, inter-Alia, regarding the status of a particular member-organization, or the manner that we operate, you are invited to contribute and communicate your feedback through different existing channels and we guarantee that due consideration will be given to the same. As for dealing with such technical incidents, the Internet community has managed to successfully handle them time and time again and I know for a fact that the African technical community is both knowledgeable and self-organized enough to deal with any technical issues related to such matters.

There are a few updates this month: 1. On training. Since the beginning of this year, we have launched three fully interactive online courses at https://academy.afrinic.net. We currently have more than 500 people enrolled in the academy. We have run 11 webinars attended by 1,046 people, and we are continuing to provide IPv6 deployment support. 2. As mentioned previously, we will have our AIS?20 meeting online during the second week of September. It?s unfortunate that we are not in a position to meet face to face. Nevertheless, we hope to have a unique and enriching online experience. In one of the preparatory meetings, a community member raised the point that we have the perfect opportunity to welcome aboard people who may not have been able to travel to Kinshasa. We are busy preparing a successful event, and we hope to see you online. 3. On a different note, every five years, we get the privilege of charting this organisation?s future. And since we exist to serve you, we are seeking your input to create our strategic plan for the next three years as we aim to build a stable, robust registry capable of unleashing the Internet?s potential for Africa. We had earlier done some consultations that, unfortunately, did not yield much response. We humbly request that you devote approximately 45 minutes of your precious time to respond to this survey (Available only in English and French. English: https://vox.afrinic.net/418948?lang=en; Francais: https://vox.afrinic.net/147691?lang=fr ). Thank you very much for your time, but please expect more communications from us about AIS ?20 in the coming days. Kind regards, Eddy ??????????????????????????..

Il est regrettable que nous ne soyons pas en mesure de nous rencontrer en face ? face. N?anmoins, nous esp?rons avoir une exp?rience en ligne unique et enrichissante. Lors d'une des r?unions pr?paratoires, un membre de la communaut? a fait remarquer que nous avons l'occasion id?ale d'accueillir ? bord des personnes qui n'auraient pas pu se rendre ? Kinshasa. Nous sommes occup?s ? pr?parer un ?v?nement r?ussi, et nous esp?rons vous voir en ligne. 3. Dans un autre ordre d'id?es, tous les cinq ans, nous avons le privil?ge de tracer l'avenir de cette organisation. Et puisque nous existons pour vous servir, nous sollicitons votre contribution pour cr?er notre plan strat?gique pour les trois prochaines ann?es, alors que nous visons ? construire un registre stable et robuste capable de lib?rer le potentiel de l'Internet pour l'Afrique.

I do recall a few proposals on that being discussed in this community a few months ago. However, none was brougth forward and none was adopted. To maintain transparency and fairness i will suggest that the community extends the tenure of those in office until the next opportunity for a face-to-face community session. I think this is necessary until a credible policy is adopted for such scenarios. This is crucial to maintain stability within the AFRINIC community.

Anyone from the AFRINIC community present at the face-to-face meeting who meets the following criteria: - Has registered to attend the meeting (must present the meeting badge as proof), - Resides in a country within the AFRINIC service region and - Is not AFRINIC staff. I suggest the use of an electronic voting system which will be made available for only those that registered for the meeting and also in attendance. However, the issue of concern raised by Jordi on using the subscribers in the RPD mailing list at some point before the election process starts (to avoid ?lots of friends? not really ?part of the PDP? to join the day before the voting) have to be taken. Concerning the line that says "voting shall be anonymous and done by secret paper ballot", the online voting process makes the voting anonymous and secret ballot.

We have systems to run electronic voting for Board - so this should be scalable for non-board elections as well. The primary question is - what qualifies a person to vote. For this seat and the PDWG - we have traditionally just allowed "people in the room". This made sense as if they were in the room - they were persons with interest. This also made the process quick and simple. We've done all sorts of ad-hoc things regarding voting at meetings - so I can't view the current "show of hands" or on-site secret ballots as cast in rock. Again, personally, all votes for all elections should be electronic. We are part of the Internet Community working with unique identifiers... we are largely technical people. We need to retain this concept of "people with interest" so I propose anyone who is subscribed to the RPD mailing list (as of June 1st 2020) as being eligible to vote. For the future - we could even have an election mailing list - where membership is properly controlled. Even "those in the room - with a meeting badge" has been I believe abused (in Dakar). Our "free" meeting lunches seemed to bring in a lot of students with various backgrounds such as hair dressers. I do not think that these people have more than a fleeting interest in AfriNIC and this should be deterred in all future "in the room" elections.

I suggest the use of an electronic voting system which will be made available for only those that registered for the meeting and also in attendance. However, the issue of concern raised by Jordi on using the subscribers in the RPD mailing list at some point before the election process starts (to avoid ?lots of friends? not really ?part of the PDP? to join the day before the voting) have to be taken. Concerning the line that says "voting shall be anonymous and done by secret paper ballot", the online voting process makes the voting anonymous and secret ballot.
