Business News recalls that following a proposal for setting up an
Internet registry for
Africa by several early Internet adopters in Africa,
during an INET workshop in Malaysia in 1997,
a steering committee was set up to work on AFRINIC's structure and
business plan, which later berthed in 2000.
Noteworthy is that Mr. Folayan, who was a member of AfriNIC
board between 2004 and 2010 is the managing director of Ibadan-based Skannet
Limited, and has been a pioneer Executive board member of NIRA, who was elected
the vice president in 2010 and was re-elected in 2013 Annual General Meeting
(AGM).
He promises to bring to his latest board a wealth of
experience in institutional governance from his experience as Managing
Director, in addition to a suitable level of problem solving skills from his
wealth of experience.
Folayan has proven ability to bring people together and get
them to work on a common course and based on his training experience, would be
able to break down complicated issues into information that is easy to
understand.
Further, he pointed out that being that AFRINIC has membership with varying skills, abilities and strengths, Folayan would be able to appropriately engage with membership at various levels.
