The African Top Level Domains Association (AfTLD), the association of African ccTLDs, announces its annual African ccTLD event for 2009. The event will be held in Arusha, Tanzania from 13 - 17 April 2009, and will include the AfTLD Annual General Meeting (AGM). The event is generously hosted by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) and the Tanzania Network Information Centre (.tzNIC).

Aptly themed “Securing Africa’s Internet Infrastructure”, the event includes a dedicated 3 day training workshop on Attack/Disaster Contingency and Recovery Planning (A/DCRP). AfTLD hereby invites interested parties to attend, including:

• ccTLD organizations from Africa and elsewhere
• Telecommunications firms
• Internet service providers (ISPs)
• Governments
• ICT agencies
• Any other interested persons and firms

Through the workshops, AfTLD intends to contribute to the process of developing and enhancing secure and robust national Internet infrastructure and services in Africa. Presenters will include leading figures in the consolidation and enhanced security of ICT infrastructure against rapidly increasing Internet security threats.

The event will also include a workshop on AfTLD’s African Dispute Resolution Process, which AfTLD intends to provide for African ccTLDs from 2009, and will also include an update in AfTLD’s research and capacity building efforts.
