This meeting preceded the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) that officially starts today, August 19, 2025. The discussions were very diverse, touching on topics that shape the very fabric of our digital world, from the complexities of funding to the frontiers of the interplanetary internet, highlighting both challenges and opportunities lying ahead particularly on IXP governance best practices and the strategies for growing IXPs among many other pertinent issues. It was concluded with the announcement of the Board election results and confirmation. </p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" class="mceGutterContainer" id="gutterContainerId-34"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse:separate" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;border:0;border-radius:0" valign="top" class="mceLayoutContainer" id="b34"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" data-block-id="34" id="section_91bfd173b8897c5f75defc111633f5f4" class="mceLayout"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td style="background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="mceColumn" id="mceColumnId--24" data-block-id="-24" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="border:0;border-radius:0" valign="top" align="center" id="b-9"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" data-block-id="-9"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td style="background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="mceColumn" id="mceColumnId--30" data-block-id="-30" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="border:0;border-radius:0" valign="top" id="b33"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" data-block-id="33"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td style="background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="24" width="100%" style="table-layout:fixed" role="presentation"><colgroup><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /><col span="1" width="8.333333333333332%" /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0" valign="top" class="mceColumn" id="mceColumnId-43" data-block-id="43" colspan="6" width="50%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;border:0;border-radius:0" valign="top" class="mceImageBlockContainer" align="center" id="b42"><div><!--[if !mso]><!--></div><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="85%" style="border-collapse:separate;margin:0;vertical-align:top;max-width:85%;width:85%;height:auto" role="presentation" data-testid="image-42"><tbody><tr><td style="border:0;border-radius:0;margin:0" valign="top"><img alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/9a74d4384f907fe2bac06c2a2/images/6f8a7707-bff9-1640-3418-96625e384c4f.jpg" width="280.5" height="auto" style="display:block;max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:0" class="imageDropZone mceImage" data-block-id="42" /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><!--<![endif]--></div><div>
