It is always a pleasure to recognise the people who dedicate their time and expertise to serving Africa’s Internet community.
Thank you, @DarwinCosta1 for your dedication and valuable contributions as Co-Chair of the AFRINIC Policy Development Working Group (PDWG).
Your commitment to supporting community-driven policy development is sincerely appreciated. We celebrate your service and wish you continued success!
Four years of dedication, resilience, and commitment to the future of the Internet in Africa.
Between 2022 and 2026, I had the privilege of serving voluntarily as Co-Chair of AFRINIC’s Policy Development Process (PDP).
These four years were marked by hard work, complex challenges, difficult decisions, and countless hours dedicated to shaping policies for a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable African Internet.
This recognition from AFRINIC represents not only the closing of a chapter but also the impact of leadership built on perseverance, responsibility, and a genuine commitment to serving the community.
Because true leadership is also about service, even when the journey is challenging and voluntary.
Thanks @AFRINIC & see you at next PPM.
