Plan of Action - May 2006
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Board meeting, a resolution was adopted by the Board to recognize AfriNIC as the new and fifth Regional Internet Registry (RIR) to serve Africa and the Indian Ocean.
AfriNIC is the emerging RIR that aims to manage IP resources in Africa and the Indian Ocean regions. AfriNIC is a not-for-profit and non-governmental membership based organisation set up by African network operators and incorporated in Mauritius . For its set-up process, AfriNIC received financial support from the South African, Mauritian and Egyptian governments. Prior to AfriNIC's set up, Africa was served by three different RIRs (APNIC, for Indian Ocean countries; the RIPE NCC, for African countries located above the equator; and ARIN, for African countries located below the equator).
AfriNIC will have its 4th public policy meeting in May 2006 along with the second Africa IPv6 event. AfriNIC Meetings are open to everyone and provide an excellent opportunity to take part in Internet policy discussions.
