A series of internships have been set up to facilitate capacity building for registrars and registries in Africa to boost the African domain name business. Launched by ICANN in partnership with AFRINIC, the first phase of the DNS Business Exchange Programme involved interns selected from ICANN accredited registrars. The next set of interns will spend time with Afilias and AFNIC. Organizers hope the programme can eventually be expanded and made available for other registrars and registries in the region.
