> AFRINIC Jenga Sessions with the Resources Members 

> 

> Jenga which means “Build” in Swahili, aims at building stronger relationships with the AFRINIC resource holders through organising dedicated sessions aimed at highlighting the services offered by AFRINIC and collecting feedback and recommendations from our resource members.  Over the course of the sessions, the AFRINIC Team embarked on implementing Jenga with our resource members. During the sessions, we explained the current situation and discussed the risk mitigation mechanisms that are in place to ensure a smooth continuation of services despite the freezing of our bank accounts. The roundtable discussion of the Jenga was a success and has been documented in the AFRINIC Blog <https://afrinic.net/20210830-afrinic-jenga-project-pilot-phase>.

> As you may be aware, we recently applied for the removal of the attachment or alternatively, a reduction of the amount of money attached in the AFRINIC’s bank accounts. The request for the removal of the attachment is connected to a prior case for the validation of the attachment and both are still ongoing. We are thankful to the Court which has acceded to AFRINIC’s request to have access to part of its funds so as to meet its vital expenses for the months of July and August 2021. As of today, all staff have been paid including those who did not receive their salaries for the month of July and the team is working on clearing all pending suppliers’ invoices. Otherwise, we assure you that AFRINIC is robustly resisting all cases lodged against it.  You may check the updated Summary of these cases <https://afrinic.net/court-cases>.

> 3.      Major changes on AFRINIC RPKI Environment

> 

> On Tuesday 31 August 2021, AFRINIC made a major improvement in its RPKI infrastructure. We are delighted to announce to our community that critical RPKI operations now have an integration with Hardware Security Module (HSM). This is a major step for us in enhancing the security of the infrastructure as well as providing excellent services to our resource members and community.

>  4.      AFRINIC-34 Online

> 

> AFRINIC-34 will take place virtually from November 15-18, 2021. We shall communicate the details on the registration and event program in due course. The importance of getting involved in these public  meetings can not be overemphasised especially the rich content this meeting has to offer as well as the PDP sessions and discussions that we have in store.

> 

> 5.        Keeping the lights on

> 

> We have been contacted by stakeholders in our community and beyond our region, expressing their interest in supporting us during these challenging times. Who would not appreciate some love and care from friends and family? I remain grateful to the Community at large for the immense support, word of wisdom and encouragement that we have received so far. We remain grateful! I wish to reiterate that AFRINIC is still providing stable services to our members and community.

> I wish you well as we pursue our common goals and aspirations.

> Séances de Jenga AFRINIC avec les membres ressources

> 

>  

> Jenga, qui signifie "construire" en Swahili, a pour but de renforcer les relations avec les membres qui détiennent des ressources d'AFRINIC en organisant des sessions dédiées visant à mettre en avant les services offerts par AFRINIC et à recueillir les impressions et recommandations de nos membres. Au cours des derniers jours, l'équipe AFRINIC s'est lancée dans l'exécution du projet Jenga avec nos membres. Au cours de ces sessions, nous avons expliqué à nos membres la situation actuelle et discuté des mécanismes d'atténuation des risques mis en place pour assurer la continuité des services malgré le gel des comptes bancaires. La table ronde sur le Jenga a été un succès et a été documentée dans le blog d'AFRINIC <https://afrinic.net/20210830-afrinic-jenga-project-pilot-phase>.

> 2.              Mises à jour juridiques

>  

> Comme vous le savez peut-être, nous avons récemment demandé l’annulation de l'ordonnance de saisie-arrêt ayant pour effet le gel de nos comptes bancaires. Notre demande d’annulation de l'ordonnance de saisie-arrêt est liée à l’affaire encore pendante de validation de cette saisie-arrêt. Nous sommes heureux que la cour ait accédé à la demande d'AFRINIC d’avoir accès à une partie de ses fonds afin de faire face à ses dépenses vitales relatives aux mois de juillet et août 2021. A ce jour, l'ensemble du personnel a été payé, y compris ceux qui n'avaient pas reçu leur salaire pour le mois de juillet et l'équipe travaille afin de régler toutes les factures des fournisseurs en attente. Par ailleurs, nous vous assurons qu’AFRINIC résiste fermement à toutes les demandes judiciaires déposées contre elle.  Vous pouvez lire le résumé mis à jour de ces cas <https://afrinic.net/court-cases>.

> 3        Modifications importantes sur l'environnement RPKI d'AFRINIC

>  

> Le mardi 31 août 2021, AFRINIC a effectué une importante avancée dans son infrastructure RPKI. Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer à notre communauté que les opérations critiques du RPKI sont désormais intégrées au Hardware Security Module (HSM). Il s'agit pour nous d'une étape majeure dans l'amélioration de la sécurité de l'infrastructure ainsi que dans la fourniture d'excellents services à nos membres et à notre communauté.

> AFRINIC-34 se tiendra virtuellement du 15 au 18 novembre 2021. Nous communiquerons les détails sur l'inscription et le programme de l'événement ultérieurement. On ne saurait trop insister sur l'importance de participer à ces réunions publiques, notamment tenant compte de la richesse du contenu de cette réunion ainsi que des sessions et discussions de politiques.

> Nous avons été contactés par des membres de notre communauté et au-delà de notre région, exprimant leur intérêt à nous soutenir en ces temps difficiles. Qui n'apprécierait pas un peu d'amour et d'attention de la part de ses amis et de sa famille ? Je reste reconnaissant à nos membres et à la communauté dans son ensemble pour l'immense soutien en paroles de sagesse et d'encouragement que nous avons reçu jusqu'à présent. Nous leur en sommes reconnaissants ! Je souhaite réitérer que l'AFRINIC continue à fournir des services stables à nos membres et à la communauté.

>  

> جلسات AFRINIC Jenga مع أعضاء الموارد

> تهدف Jenga التي تعني "بناء" باللغة السواحيلية إلى بناء علاقات أقوى مع أصحاب الموارد الأفارقة من خلال تنظيم جلسات مخصصة تهدف إلى تسليط الضوء على الخدمات التي تقدمها AFRINIC وجمع التعليقات والتوصيات من أعضائنا. على مدار الأيام القليلة الماضية ، شرع فريق AFRINIC في تنفيذ Jenga مع أعضاء الموارد لدينا. خلال الجلسات ، شرحنا للأعضاء الوضع الحالي وناقشنا آليات التخفيف من المخاطر المعمول بها لضمان استمرار الخدمات بسلاسة على الرغم من تجميد الحسابات المصرفية. كانت مناقشة المائدة المستديرة حول Jenga ناجحة وتم توثيقها في مدونة AFRINIC.

>  

> تحديثات قانونية

> كما تعلم ، تقدمنا ​​مؤخرًا بطلب لإزالة أمر الحجز المؤقت الحالي أو بدلاً من ذلك ، تخفيض مبلغ الأموال المجمدة في حسابات AFRINIC المصرفية. في حين لم يتم الموافقة على طلب إزالة أمر الحجز المؤقت ، نظرًا لأنه مرتبط بقضية موضوعية أخرى للتحقق من صحة أمر الحجز المذكور والتي لا تزال جارية ، فإننا نشكر أن القاضي وافق على طلب AFRINIC للوصول إلى جزء من الأموال لتغطية نفقاتها الحيوية لشهري يوليو وأغسطس 2021. اعتبارًا من اليوم ، تم دفع رواتب جميع الموظفين بما في ذلك أولئك الذين لم يتلقوا رواتبهم لشهر يوليو ، والفريق هو العمل على تصفية جميع فواتير الموردين المعلقة. بخلاف ذلك ، نؤكد لك أن AFRINIC تقاوم بشدة جميع القضايا المرفوعة ضدها. يمكنك التحقق من الملخص المحدث لهذه الحالات.

>  

>         3. تغييرات رئيسية في بيئة AFRINIC RPKI

> في يوم الثلاثاء 31 أغسطس 2021 ، قامت AFRINIC بتحسين كبير في البنية التحتية RPKI. نحن فخورون بأن نعلن لمجتمعنا أن عمليات RPKI الحرجة تتكامل الآن مع وحدة أمان الأجهزة (HSM). هذه خطوة رئيسية بالنسبة لنا في تعزيز أمن البنية التحتية بالإضافة إلى تقديم خدمات ممتازة لأعضائنا ومجتمعنا.

> AFRINIC-34 اون لاين

> سيعقد مؤتمر AFRINIC-34 تقريبًا في الفترة من 15 إلى 18 نوفمبر 2021. سنقوم بإبلاغ التفاصيل المتعلقة ببرنامج التسجيل والحدث في الوقت المناسب. لا يمكن المبالغة في التأكيد على أهمية المشاركة في هذه الاجتماعات العامة خاصة المحتوى الثري الذي يجب أن يقدمه هذا الاجتماع بالإضافة إلى جلسات PDP والمناقشات التي نوفرها في المتجر.

> لقد اتصل بنا أعضاء في مجتمعنا وخارج منطقتنا ، للتعبير عن اهتمامهم بدعمنا خلال هذه الأوقات الصعبة. من منا لا يقدر بعض الحب والرعاية من الأصدقاء والعائلة؟ ما زلت ممتنًا لأعضائنا والمجتمع ككل للدعم الهائل بكلمة الحكمة والتشجيع التي تلقيناها حتى الآن. نظل ممتنين! أود أن أكرر أن AFRINIC لا تزال تقدم خدمات مستقرة لأعضائنا ومجتمعنا.

> Sessões AFRINIC Jenga com os Membros dos Recursos

> 

> Jenga, que significa "Construir" em Suaíli, visa construir relações mais fortes com os detentores de recursos africanos através da organização de sessões dedicadas destinadas a destacar os serviços oferecidos pela AFRINIC e a recolher feedback e recomendações dos nossos membros.  Ao longo dos últimos dias, a equipa AFRINIC embarcou na implementação de Jenga com os nossos membros de recursos. Durante as sessões, explicámos aos membros a situação actual e discutimos os mecanismos de mitigação de riscos que estão em vigor para assegurar uma continuação suave dos serviços, apesar do congelamento das contas bancárias. A mesa redonda sobre a Jenga foi um sucesso e foi documentada no Blog da AFRINIC.

> 2.              Actualizações legais

> Como deve saber, solicitámos recentemente a retirada da Ordem de Penhora Provisória existente ou, em alternativa, uma redução do montante de dinheiro congelado nas contas bancárias AFRINIC. Embora o pedido de levantamento da Ordem de Penhora Provisória não tenha sido acedido, uma vez que está ligado a outro caso substantivo de validação da referida ordem de penhora ainda em curso, agradecemos que o juiz tenha acedido ao pedido da AFRINIC para ter acesso a parte dos fundos de modo a fazer face às suas despesas vitais para os meses de Julho e Agosto de 2021.  A partir de hoje, todo o pessoal foi pago incluindo aqueles que não receberam os seus salários para o mês de Julho e a equipa está a trabalhar no apuramento de todas as facturas pendentes dos fornecedores. Caso contrário, asseguramos que a AFRINIC está a resistir fortemente a todos os casos apresentados contra ela.  Pode consultar o Resumo actualizado destes casos.

> AFRINIC-34 terá lugar praticamente de 15 a 18 de Novembro de 2021. Comunicaremos oportunamente os detalhes sobre a inscrição e o programa do evento. A importância de nos envolvermos nestas reuniões públicas não pode ser sobrevalorizada, especialmente o rico conteúdo que esta reunião tem para oferecer, bem como as sessões e discussões do PDP que temos em mãos.

> 5.     Mantendo as luzes acesas

> Fomos contactados por membros da nossa comunidade e fora da nossa região, manifestando o seu interesse em nos apoiar durante estes tempos difíceis. Quem não apreciaria algum amor e carinho de amigos e familiares? Continuo grato aos nossos membros e à Comunidade em geral pelo imenso apoio em palavras de sabedoria e encorajamento que temos recebido até agora. Continuamos gratos! Gostaria de reiterar que a AFRINIC continua a prestar serviços estáveis aos nossos membros e à comunidade.
