Adiel Akplogan to Join ICANN as VP of Technical Engagement


Role aimed at strengthening ties to the technical community

4 February 2015

Veteran Internet technology expert Adiel Akplogan is joining ICANN in the newly \
created role of Vice President for Technical Engagement.

Akplogan served most recently as the Chief Executive Officer of AfriNIC, the Internet \
Numbers' Resource Registry for Africa, a position he has held since 2004.

"I'm delighted to welcome Adiel to ICANN," said Sally Costerton, Special Advisor to \
the President for Global Stakeholder Engagement. "He is a highly respected \
contributor to the Internet community and his experienced leadership will reinforce \
and deepen ICANN's long term participation in the technical community of which it is \
a critical part."

Akplogan is among the original Internet pioneers in West Africa, where he has played \
a critical role in setting up and managing CAFENet, one of the first private Internet \
Service Providers in the region.

"It's my sincere hope that I can help ICANN achieve the high level of operational \
excellence that it is aiming for," said Adiel. "We are all striving to maintain and \
improve a global communication and information system that will define our future on \
multiple levels."

In his new position, Akplogan will help ICANN conduct technical engagement and \
outreach. He will also provide some valuable links to the ICT community on the \
African continent, since he was instrumental in establishing several technical \
coordination bodies such as the African Network Operators Group (AfNOG), the African \
ccTLD Managers Association (AfTLD), AfricaCERT and the Africa Internet Summit (AIS).

Akplogan will be based in Montreal, Canada and will assume his new position on March \
1.
