Hi Jordi,

Has there been or is there any organization that has sponsored
individuals to AfriNIC meetings aside Larus Foundation, independently
outside the AfriNIC structure?

If we are not careful we will raise the dead.

Cheers

Daniel

Sponsors don't need to know who are the fellows, AFRINIC will select them based in the rules jointly agreed with the sponsor. AFRINIC and sponsor jointly define other details such as what training materials are provided to the fellows, how they are evaluated and if they don't match certain requirements (such as not actually coming to the sessions, etc.), if they don't get reimbursed all the costs, etc.
