These policies are community-driven and anyone can propose and participate in discussions during the plenaries as well as on the policy discussion (rpd) mailing list. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">These sessions are characterised by lively debates where the community and participants express their views and concerns on several factors that affect Internet resources allocation and management. The policy proposals are presented at the event which has two co-chairs who moderate the deliberations.All policies follow a process whereby they are either approved, rejected or do not reach a consensus. In such cases, they are sent back to the mailing list for further discussion. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">You can read more on the <a href="https://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development" target="_blank">Policy Development Process</a>! </p></div> </article> <article> <h1>Key dates</h1> <p>2013-07-08T12:26:44+00:00</p> <div class="feed-description"><h3>Call for Papers - Call for Papers is now close</h3> <ul> <li>Call for papers opens on 01 August 2013</li> <li>Call for papers closes on 29 August 2013 </li> <li>Notification of acceptance on 5 September 2013</li> <li>Submission of presentations slides on 27 September 2013</li> <li>Deadline for submission of final presentation slides on 22 October 2013</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>Call for Fellowship - Call for Fellowship is now close</h3> <ul> <li>Opens on 5 August 2013</li> <li>Closes on 27 August 2013</li> <li>Notification of selected fellows on 10 September 2013</li> <li>Deadline of acceptance by awarded fellow on 24 September 2013</li> <li>Final acceptance and publication of fellowsip list on 24 September 2013</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h3>Meeting registration </h3> <ul> <li>Online registration for AFRINIC training and plenary sessions opens on 21 August 2013</li> <li>Online registration for AFRINIC training and plenary sessions closes on 15 November 2013</li> <li>Onsite registration for AFRINIC training and plenary sessions opens on 23 November 2013</li> </ul> <p> </p></div> </article> <article> <h1>Participate Online</h1> <p>2013-07-08T11:52:58+00:00</p> <div class="feed-description"><p>We provide remote participation facilities for all those who are willing to participate in the plenary session discussions.</p> <p>Join AFRINIC-19 remotely through Jabber services; either through a web interface using your web browser, or through a conventional Jabber client.

They are expected to have an awareness of the security issues involved in connecting computers to the Internet. They must be committed to using their skills to improve the security of computers and networks. For the technical side of the course, familiarity with the normal operation of TCP/IP networks, addresses, port numbers and protocols will be assumed.</p> <h4> The following modules are covered:</h4> <h5>CSIRT Organization</h5> <p>Describes how CSIRTs fit into their organisations: planning the CSIRT, defining the constituency of the team and gaining management authority for it, deciding the services the team will offer, working with those outside the organisation, staffing the CSIRT, funding. Participants will discuss their own organisation and how their team fits into it.</p> <h5>Technical Introduction</h5> <p>A basic introduction to the main attack vectors that malicious parties use to attack systems: intruders and their motivations, botnets, network protocols and how they can be abused, operating systems and services, types of vulnerability, information gathering, breaking in, hiding traces, denial-of-service attacks.</p> <h5>CSIRT Operations</h5> <p>Describes the facilities, systems and tools needed by CSIRTs to operate successfully: housing the CSIRT, equipment, e-mail, remote access, information and contacts, servers and networks, incident response plans and procedures, tracking systems. As an exercise participants will discuss and develop incident response plans for their own teams. </p> <h5>Legal Issues </h5> <p>A high level overview of the areas of legislation that are likely to affect CSIRTs in their work and that team members need to be aware of: origins of computer legislation, problems, data protection, computer misuse, working with law enforcement, monitoring, evidence, European developments.</p> <p> </p> <h3>JPCERT</h3> <p>CSIRT training for technical staff: advanced network monitoring.
