The announcement had listed AfNOG and AfriNIC meetings as part of
the AIF.
This is the first time AfNOG organizers have heard of the AIF and
wish all
to know that AfNOG is not part of the AIF activities.
Neither is AfriNIC. This is the first time we are also hearing
about this
AIF meeting and it is unfortunate that no consultation nor
coordination
has took place before such planing and public announcement. Both
AfriNIC
and AfNOG have meeting committee working on the Nairobi event and
we do
not received any request from the 'AIF' organizers nor AfriSPA in
that
regard either. Taking that step would have save us this kind of
confusion
and all comments which have followed!
I think its time for us to start working effectively together to make
a better use of our poor resources and stop wasting time, energy and
resource doing same things and in an uncoordinated way.
I hope all this will be solved behind the scene in a peaceful way for
the best interest of our community.
Cheers.

Nii and Eric,
I'll pay for the beer (OK .... Red Label) in Nairobi, so that we
can discuss how this type of misunderstanding will not happen
again, for the sake of the Networking community in Africa.
Peace.
Sunday.
