[afnog] AIS 2020 - POSTPONEMENT

[Sami Salih]

Salam

Thx Nancy for the information,

However, I didn't like the announcement as it is posted. I have few comments:
1- whether you define a date to postpone the event, or just cancel it.
2- AFNOG and AFRINIC and other AF* events should align there announcements.
3- it's seems early to send such email when we are not sure about what is the situation will be in the comming 2.5 months, I recall that AFRINIC always have  plan B just a month before the event.

My suggestion is to cancel AFNOG and other AF* for this year and make it next year in the same host country.
AFRINIC PDWG and Plenary to be conducted online for two days, I prefer weekend.

Salam.

Dear All,

Good afternoon.

On 16 March 2020, AfNOG, AFRINIC and the Local Host (ISPA-DRC) had another meeting to re-assess the Corona Virus pandemic as well as logistic issues.

Unfortunately we concluded that a change of plans was mandatory to safeguard the health of our members, community and staff.

Thus, we agreed that it is best to postpone the AIS 2020  Workshop & Conference to a later date. We will continue to monitor the situation and adopt precautionary measures to ensure everyone’s well-being.

Further, we will communicate  decisions taken in consultation with all stakeholders, and will advise on new AIS 2020 dates and

the way forward in due course.

Please stay safe.

Kind regards

Nancy

AfNOG
