[rpd] AFRINIC-37 Public Policy Meeting Timelines and Draft Agenda.

[Darwin Da Costa]

Dear PDWG, 

The AFRINIC-37 Public Policy Meeting (PPM) will be held in hybrid format on 24 June 2026, with ~6 hrs allocated to the agenda. Registration for the meeting is already open at https://2026.internetsummit.africa/  . In case you are planning to participate during the PPM, please ensure that you register for the event before the registration closes.

In preparation for this PPM, we have noted that  as of 30 April 2026, there are  no active policy proposals https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/ <https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/> . 
We therefore request the authors of forthcoming new policy proposals to ensure that their proposals have clear problem statements and the proposal text is aligned with the problem statements and to be proactive with their updates based on the discussions and contributions of the PDWG.

Some timelines in compliance with the Section 3 of the Consolidated Policy Manual are as follows:

New proposals  can be submitted by 23h59 UTC, 26 May 2026. 
Updates to proposals can be submitted  by  23h59 UTC, 17 June 2026
Final agenda to be communicated by 23h59 UTC, 18 June 2026
