Dear Colleagues, ( French version below)
One day in April 2006, I was informed by Rwandatel CTO that I would attend
an AFRINIC meeting in Nairobi as our company had received a fellowship from
them. This intrigued me because I did not understand why our IP provider
was willing to sponsor a trip for a member for no apparent reason.
Not only did I not find any catch but I discovered a community that I had
no clue existed. I heard of IPv6 for the first time and later registered
for a course which happened at AFRINIC 9 in Balaclava, Mauritius. This
connection together with the AfNog one helped me grow quickly in the
networking field.
Back home, many colleagues attended AFRINIC and AfNog events and we
started seeing scalable network and systems managed by young Rwandans.
14 years later, Afrinic has evolved in many ways and is still around
committed to its mission of supporting Internet technology usage and
development in Africa.
I have grown over the years to become AFRINIC?s CEO. The large number of
support messages I have received since it happened has been very humbling
and demonstrates the fact that AFRINIC is dear to the hearts of many people
all over the world.
AFRINIC has had more than its fair share of ups and downs and challenges
over the years. However, there are inspiring stories of its positive
contributions and impact in many countries. It continues to play a
fundamentally important role in Internet development across Africa and the
Indian Ocean region.
During my few weeks in office, I have endeavored with the team on
analysing and identifying all key focus areas from the feedback we have
received from our membership and community.
The key focus areas include:
- Restoring the accuracy of the database and enhancing membership
experience.
- Delivering on promises of major technical products and projects
anticipated by our membership and community.
- Building, developing and maintaining our community through providing
capacity building, research and engagement opportunities.
- Restructuring a cohesive and efficient team that will deliver on all the
above and more.
I would like to commend the team?s resilience and dedication over the
years and I am a firm believer that our success will not be attainable
without the involvement of each of us. As a member-based organisation and a
community-driven organisation, the support of our members and community is
also vital to our triumph as a whole.
I will be giving a monthly update on the progress we make on the different
areas and we welcome your suggestions, support and constructive feedback as
we travel this journey together.
Kind regards,
Eddy

Chers Collegues, (votre indulgence pour les accents et potentielles fautes

Par un jour normal en 2006, le CTO de Rwandatel m'a inform? que je
participerai ? une reunion d'AFRINIC ? Nairobi et qu'ils prennait tout en
charge. Je fus intrigu? car ne comprenant pas pourquoi notre fournisseur
d'adresse IP serait si genereuse.
Je n'ai cependant trouve aucun pi?ge. Bien plus, j'ai plut?t decouvert une
communaut? dont j'ignorai totalement l'existence. J'ai entendu parler de
IPv6 pour la premiere fois et me suis enregistr? pour un cours qui a eu
lieu lors de AFRINIC 9 a Balaclava en ile Maurice. Cette connection ainsi
qu'avec AfNog m'a aide a progresser rapidement dans le domaine de la
connectivite.
Au pays, plusieurs collegues ont particip? aux r?unions d'AFRINIC et AfNog
et nous avons commenc? ? voir de jeunes rwandais gerant des reseaux et
syst?mes bien configur?.
14 annees plus tard, Afrinic a evolu? de plusieurs maniere tout en restant
fidele ? sa mission de soutenir l'usage et le developpement des
technologies de l'Internet.
J'ai aussi progress? jusqu'? en devenir le Directeur G?n?ral. Les
inombrables messages de soutien que j'ai recu etaient bien chaleureux et
demontrent a quel point Afrinic est cher ? plusieurs personnes au travers
le globe.
Afrinic a eu son lot de hauts et bas au travers des ann?es. Cependant, il
y a plusieurs histoires inspirantes sur sa contribution dans plusieurs
pays. Afrinic continue a jouer un role fondamental pour le developpement de
l'Internet sur le continent ainsi que la region de l'Ocean Indien.
Pour mes premieres semaines en fonction, je me suis attel? avec l'equipe a
analyser et identifier les points les plus saillants des feedbacks recu de
nos membres ainsi que la communaute.
Ces points incluent les elements suivants:
- Restaurer l'intigrite de la base de donnees et ameliorer l'expenrience
de nos membres;
- Finaliser l'implementation des differents produits et projets promis et
souhaite par nos membres ainsi que la communaute en general;
- Developper notre communaute au travers des diverses activites de
formation, recherches et reunions;
- Restructurer une equipe plus efficace afin de remplir toutes les
promesses citees ci-haut et bien plus encore.
Je souhaite saluer la tenacite et le devouement de l'equipe Afrinic au
travers des annees et je suis convaincu que notre succes n'est pas
atteignable sans l'implication d'un chacun. Comme une organization
"member-based" et orientee vers la communaute, le soutien de nos membres
ainsi que des membres de la communaute est primordial si nous voulons
celebrer notre aboutissement comme un block.
Je vous donnerai une mise a jour mensuelle sur les avancements que nous
ferons sur differents fronts et vos suggestions sont le bienvenu tout au
long de ce voyage.
Respectueusement votre,
Eddy
