[rpd] Anti-Shutdown

[Bill Woodcock]

Apropos this topic, a discussion of the issue (not the AfriNIC proposal, but the shutdown issue itself) is scheduled for an upcoming UN meeting:

So, putting aside the question of whether AfriNIC policy is the place to finally enact a change, I think it’s been incredibly valuable to have the conversation, and that having the conversation has drawn favorable attention to the fact that Africa has an active Internet governance policymaking body.
