Hi
If you recall at the last ARIN meeting we saw many of our NARALO members comment on the ARIN Community Networks policy
See policy document
I spoke with ARIN staff about their programs on community networks today and they too are struggling with fee structure for AFRNIC Membership from community networks. Note they fund FIRE which has funded community networks in Uganda and in South Africa.
Perhaps we need to ask our community to request financial support for ARIN for community networks as well.
