require community cooperation. 

AfNOG has since year 2000 organized
their annual Event in a different African country each year. 

_"While

are a central part of AFRINIC's activities and our objective is to build
competence within our region in IPv6 implementation and associated
technologies required to use our resources effectively and to increase
awareness within the service region on how Internet is governed and the
roles organisations have in this environment. AFRINIC organizes two
Public Policy meetings every year (see  

AFRINIC-20 PUBLIC POLICY

for three days from 4th - 6th June, 2014. AFRINIC Meetings are open to
everyone and provide an excellent opportunity to take part in Internet
policy discussions. These policies, which describe 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
three day meeting will be preceded by a three -day IPv6 training and one
day training in Internet Number Resource Management. 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.

AFREN  

The
Africa Research and Education Networking (AfREN) will be holding a one

AfREN is the annual forum on African
research and education networking. As one of the Af* organizations, the
AfREN forum is part of the annual Africa Internet Summit (AIS) and was
convened since 2007 by the Research and Education Networking Unit (RENU)
of the Association of African Universities in collaboration with AfNOG &
AFRINIC. 

The forum is a platform for discussions on issues of interest
to the research and education networking (REN) community such as
collaboration, advocacy and coordination of activities in Africa.
Sharing of experience and best practices as well as presentation of
innovative networking technologies are also regularly addressed at
AfREN. 

The sponsorship of campus network managers to attend the annual
AfNOG training workshops has also become an integral part of AfREN.

Since 2012, with the formation of regional RENs covering all the
countries of Africa, there is a traditional session on updates from the
UbuntuNet Alliance (Eastern and Southern Africa), WACREN (West and
Central Africa) and ASREN (Arab countries, including North Africa).

Typical AfREN participants include among others, campus and research
and education network practitioners, REN operators, telecom operators,
regulators, policy makers and international partners.
