Thanks for sharing this, Mwirima! I got the opportunity to be selected an AfriNIC Fellow at AfriNIC-15 in Yaounde, Cameroon. I strongly encourage those eligible to apply. In case any of you is successful, please let me know. We need to lobby and host an AfriNIC Public Policy Meeting in Kampala. Uganda can benefit in many ways by hosting such a high profile meeting.
Thank you, Richard.
