[afnog] AIS 2020 - POSTPONEMENT

Thu Mar 19 07:19:47 UTC 2020

Hi,

Gentle reminder : 

This is an afnog mailing list and I read here https://afnog.org <https://afnog.org/> :

Afnog is a forum for cooperation and the exchange of technical information between operators of Internet-connected networks in Africa. AfNOG aims at building a community of engineers helping each other operate Internet Infrastructure in Africa, and on the Global Internet as well as promote the discussion of issues relating to implementation of new networks that require community cooperation.

Kindly restrict suggestions / questions to the above.

Regards,

Komi
