AFRINIC
African Organizations for Internet Governance

In the mid 1990s, a few African Internet pioneers grouped in what was known as the African Internet Group (AIG) started discussing Internet issues, including governance.

In 1998, following the International Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) process for specifying and implementing policies and procedures relating to generic top level domain names leading to the formation of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), one of the first African Internet governance conference was organised in Cotonou, Benin by the AIG, with Mr Pierre Dandjinou as host.

The theme for the workshop was ‘Internet governance in Africa’.
