African community by providing professional and efficient management of
Internet Number Resources, supporting Internet technology usage and
development, and promoting a participative and multi-stakeholder
approach to Internet self governance. AFRINIC is a non-government,
not-for-profit, membership based organization, based in Mauritius.
Trainings and capacity building 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

Public Policy meeting will be held in Djibouti 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.
