Hi all,

Please note that I am currently the alternate director for Eastern African region. I have served in this role for 3 years and for two years prior to that as the Primary director. I feel that together with the preceding 5 years of effort to bring about the establishment of Afrinic since 1998 that I have made my contribution and served the community.

I would like to thank those of you who in the past have both nominated me and voted for me to serve in this capacity. This year I do not intend to present myself for re-election. Please make your nomination choices wisely and let's ensure Kenya's ongoing participation in the policy and strategy for this crucial African institution.

Best regards,

Brian
