                            <small>Ever wondered what the Policy
                              Development Process is all about? I
                              remember when I first joined AFRINIC, the
                              main thing I retained after my first week,
                              was that AFRINIC’s main activity was the
                              management and distribution of IP
                              addresses and this was facilitated by
                              policies, defined and adopted by the
                              community, for the community. At the time
                              that seemed like an over rehearsed,
                              generic line that was thrown around and I
                              too memorised the text.<br>
                              <br>
                              But, with time and interactions with the
                              community, I learnt that as an integral
                              part of the AFRINIC team, we all need to
                              know about our core activity and be able
                              to talk about it with anyone. Enter
                              AFRINIC 101! This series of mini articles
                              on AFRINIC processes will help guide each
                              and every one of you through many of our
                              operations, which you might not be fully
                              conversant with.</small> <small><br>
                              <br>
                              Since our main mandate is the management
                              and distribution of Internet resources,
                              what better way to start the series than
                              by the Policy Development Process (PDP)? </small>

                              policy or changes to an existing policy.
                              Upon adoption, these policies will apply
                              directly to the way AFRINIC manages and
                              distributes Internet number resources to
