  Jambo,
  Fiona (of the TESPOK fame) has a clinched new role after being
  elected at the AfriNIC meeting to sit on the NRO-NC. Forget the
  acronym because  in layman terms, it simply means she will be
  advising ICANN on things to do with IP numbering

I think we should take this opportunity to do some capacity
building for folk not familiar with the NRO.
[2]nro.net says:
"Formed by the [3]Regional Internet Registries to formalise their
co-operative efforts, the NRO exists to protect the unallocated
Number Resource pool, to promote and protect the bottom-up policy
development process, and to act as a focal point for Internet
community input into the RIR system."
The NRO-NC is, for all intents and purposes the Address
Supporting Organization within ICANN.  They coordinate Global
Policies regarding Internet Numbering resources.  More can be
found here:

  ...I think that's great and she deserves a round of applause...

Indeed, as the Chair of the AfriNIC NomCom, I was very, very
pleased to get her nomination and to see her subsequently
elected.

  Cheers,
  McTim
