Listers, Might be of interest. Regards ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Susan Akinyi Otieno <susan.otieno@afrinic.net> Date: Mon, Apr 6, 2020 at 12:27 PM Subject: [AfrICANN-discuss] Participate in AFRINIC's next webinar ''Preparing Critical Internet Infrastructure for Black Swan Events'' To: <africann@afrinic.net> Dear Colleagues, Like many professionals around the world, recent events have affected your everyday practices and routines. You might even wish there was a fast forward button to skip 2020. One or more of the following may have happened to you: * Working from home is the new normal * Someone you know has lost all or part of their income * Your children or friend’s children have had to stop going to school You have considered making a sacrifice to the gods of the Internet (ok — maybe not). You may also have realised that perhaps those people who were pushing for Internet access as a human right weren’t so wrong after all - the Internet is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s an essential requirement for survival in the 21st century. Join us as we discuss critical internet infrastructure. We will specifically focus on: * What is critical Internet infrastructure? * How do Black Swan events, e.g. pandemics, affect critical Internet infrastructure? * How are critical infrastructure holding up around the world during this COVID-19 pandemic? * How do we determine and plug the critical infrastructure deficits at organisational and national levels? Register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/2015686259690/WN_uNfJ7GZfT72__ktKZ2espw *Date: 9th April 2020* Time: 16:30 GST (Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar) 12:30 UTC (Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire) 13:30 WAT (Nigeria, Cameroon) 15:30 EAT (Kenya, Uganda) The webinar will be in English.
