> Dear members,
>
>
>
> This is a reminder to register to vote in the upcoming AFRINIC
> elections if
> you have not yet done so. As a quick recap, here is what you need to
> do to
> register to vote online:
>
>
>
> 1. A director, or similar authority at your organisation, will need
> to
> take a letter designating an e-voting representative to a Notary to
> be
> certified. Here is a template to use for that letter:
>
>
>
> *Designation of an e-voting representative for [company name]*
>
>
>
> To Whom It May Concern,
>
>
>
> This letter serves to designate the following person as *[company
> name]*’s
> e-voting representative for the upcoming AFRINIC Board elections:
>
>
>
> - Full name: *[representative’s full n*ame]
> - Representative’s ID number:
> - Email address: *[representative’s email address]*
> - Contact number(s): *[representative’s phone number(s) in intl.
> format,
> +27…]*
>
>
>
> I hereby attest that I hold the authority on behalf of *[company
> name]* to
> designate the above e-voting representative. I confirm that the above
> email
> address is the correct address to send *[company name]*’s secure
> e-voting
> link to.
>
>
>
> This letter is accompanied by an up-to-date copy of the e-voting
> representative’s ID document and has been signed in the presence of
> a
> Notary, who has certified it.
>
>
>
> Yours sincerely,
>
> *[to be signed in the presence of the Notary]*
>
> *[name of the authorising person]*
>
> *[position of the authorising person]*
>
> *[company name]*
>
>
>
> 2. Take the letter, as well as a copy of the e-voting
> representative’s
> ID document to a Notary to be certified. Bear in mind that there
> will
> likely be a modest cost associated with this step. *Note: **AFRINIC
> has
> confirmed* <https://afrinic.net/ast/2025/Final_FAQ.pdf> * that the
> letter
> does not to be apostilled.*
>
>
>
> 3. Scan the letter together with the notarial certificate and the
> ID
> copy, and send the scanned documents to elections2025(a)afrinic.net
> before
> midnight on 2nd June 2025.
>
>
>
> *Finding a Notary*

Dear Colleagues,
Registration for the "ICP-2 Review" Webinar is ongoing.
* Date: Thursday 8 May 2025
* Time: 13:00 -14:00 UTC
* Duration: 1:00 Hr
* Moderator: Hervé Clément
* Registration link<https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/5017449680004/WN_FCGsD9IlQ9OMNtsMV…>
The session will be moderated by Mr. Hervé Clément, Member, Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC). With him in the panel will be:
* Andrei Robachevsky- Member, Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC)
* Maemura Akinori - Member, Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC)
The Internet landscape has changed significantly over the last two decades. The Number Resource Organization Executive Council (NRO EC), in conjunction with the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC), decided it was time to review and update the Internet Coordination Policy (ICP-2) to meet current needs.
In October 2023, the Number Resource Organization Executive Council (NRO EC) asked the NRO Number Council (NRO NC), that fulfils the role of the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC), to establish and manage a process to update the ICP-2. Modification of ICP-2 requires an open and transparent process to allow participation from across the global RIR and ICANN communities.
In this webinar, the panelists will showcase the progress achieved so far in the ICP-2 Review. The session will also provide an introduction to the draft version of a document <https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/rir-governance-do…> that aims to update ICP-2: Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries. This updated document is titled "Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and De-recognition of Regional Internet Registries".
This document is currently open for comments from 14 April to 27 May 2025. We invite community input on this draft document and encourage everyone interested in this topic to attend this session. We look forward to having your inputs in this webinar.

* Learn more on the progress achieved so far in the ICP-2 Review process
* Gain insights into the draft version of the document that aims to update ICP-2: “Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and De-recognition of Regional Internet Registries"
