However, I didn't like the announcement as it is posted. I have few comments:<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
1- whether you define a date to postpone the event, or just cancel it.<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
2- AFNOG and AFRINIC and other AF* events should align there announcements.<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
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.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
My suggestion is to cancel AFNOG and other AF* for this year and make it next year in the same host country.<br>

<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>Good afternoon.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Unfortunately we concluded that a change of plans was mandatory to safeguard the health of our members, community and staff. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Further, we will communicate decisions taken in consultation with all stakeholders, and will advise on new AIS 2020 dates and</p>
<p>the way forward in due course.</p>
<p>Please stay safe.</p>
<p>Kind regards</p>
<p>Nancy</p>
<p>AfNOG</p>
