The AFRINIC Board is required to make appointments to various bodies from time to time. On 24 October 2018, the Board called for volunteers who wish to be considered for appointment by the Board. The Board is now extending the deadline for volunteers.

The AFRINIC Board calls for volunteers who wish to be considered for appointment to the following bodies:
