The audience will be able to contextualize the importance and role these play in the Internet Ecosystem. - The second part of the presentation will analyze in depth the crossroads in which AFRINIC (African Network Information Center) finds itself where it is being sued by one of its clients. What effect does this situation have on the services that AFRINIC provides? Can this happen to the other RIRs? What prompted this to happen? Can AFRINIC disappear as an organization?"
