<div>Hi All,</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>sorry, but it seems that I&#39;m not receiving some of the postings. I&#39;ve checked my emails but I can&#39;t find a posting from Bashir. I hope, I haven&#39;t lost many of the postings.</div>
<div>On the issue raiseed by Zita as a question, I prefer to go back to the corresponding thread for better follow-up.</div>

<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; action<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; item of this year&#39;s meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Success!&nbsp;&nbsp;The next item is the AfREN web<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; site.&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently, the presentations from April 28 and 29 have been<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; posted to <a href="http://afnog.org/afren">
afnog.org/afren</a> &lt;<a href="http://afnog.org/afren">http://afnog.org/afren</a>&gt; (and there has<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; been discussion about that<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; already).&nbsp;&nbsp;We probably need our own web site.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is an oil company,

<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; via AfREN and sharing information, power problems and solutions,<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; content<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for users, bandwidth and fiber, policies, lobbying together, and<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; building NRENs.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the end of the meeting, our interests were strategic
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; planning, capacity building, education, communication, and lobbying.&nbsp;&nbsp;We<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; believe that &quot;if you build it they will come&quot; and to evaluate the users&#39;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; needs afterwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you agree?
