AfrISPA's support for AfriNIC recognition as RIR

["Eric Osiakwan" <eric@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN Board and CEO,

On behalf of the Board and Executives of the African ISP Association (AfrISPA, 
www.afrispa.org), I write to support the resubmission of the AfriNIC proposal 
to be recognised as Africa's Regional Internet Registry (RIR).

AfrISPA has followed with keen interest the efforts to establish this registry 
which is very critical to the operation of our members and more recently the 
transition process. AfriNIC has faced some teething challenges however we 
beleive in the ability of the board and management to manage the resources and 
operate such an institution.

We recognise the importance of such an institution and would like to indicate 
our support not only for their recognition but also to collaborate with them in 
ensuring a smooth operation of the Internet in Africa for the "common good".

Thank you.
