[db-wg] AfriNIC Transition Completed

Wed Feb 23 10:25:19 CET 2005

Dear Colleagues,

AfriNIC is the emerging Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the African 
and Indian Ocean region. In preparation for its final recognition expected 
in April by ICANN, AfriNIC began operating as a fully functional RIR for 
the African region on 21 February 2005. LIRs in the AfriNIC service region 
can now request IP address space, AS Numbers and reverse delegation from 
AfriNIC and enter objects in the AfriNIC Whois Database.

Details of the RIPE NCC to AfriNIC transition can be found at:

If you have questions regarding the transition to AfriNIC, please contacts 
us at <afritrans at ripe.net>.

Regards,

Axel Pawlik
RIPE NCC
