will be held in Serekunda, Gambia for three days from 16 – 18 May, 2012.
AfriNIC Meetings are open to everyone and provide an excellent opportunity to
take part in Internet policy discussions. These policies, which describe<span
style='color:black'> how Internet Number Resources should be managed and
distributed, are developed by the community. The meeting will include
tutorials, presentations, update on the various working groups and the AfriNIC
Public Policy Meeting. The two day meeting will be preceeded by a two-day IPv6
training. The meeting will focus on the IPv6 protocol and its deployment,
especially in Africa and the issue of the exhaustion of the IPv4 pool of
address space. There will be an opportunity to discuss the challenges which our
region will be facing with IPv4 address space exhaustion. <br>
