During the 2008 AGM held in Morocco after the AfriNIC-8 meeting, two seats on the AfriNIC Board (of Directors) - (the Central and Indian Ocean seats) were renewed.
After the vote, Didier Rukeratabaro Kasole (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Viv Padayatchy (Mauritius) were elected as primary BoDs, while Jean Philemon Kissangou (Congo) and Lala Andriamampianina (Madagascar) were elected as alternates for their respective regions.
Congratulations for the new board members and we wish them success during their term.
