 +    * an entry point to the election center, in order to  
 +      exercise a voting right or to designate a proxy;  
 +    * an interface where to register and manage user  
 +      accounts attached to the resource membership;​ 
 +    * an interface where to request INRs (Internet

 +      of INRs is started;

 +  * Given the above values, be aware that the AfriNIC  
 +    registered user accounts, belonging to your resource

 +    has alerted ((https://​ispa.org.za/​press_releases/​ispa-urges-afrinic-members-protect-credentials/​))  
 +    its members at the beginning of this month): 
 +    * first, you need to activate 2FA (Two-Factor  
 +      Authentication) on your My.AfriNIC.net account 
 +    * you want to immediately *know* (//keep an eye  
 +      to//) who actually has the right to vote for  
 +      the upcoming AfriNIC Elections ((https://​my.afrinic.net/​elections))  
 +      on behalf of your org; 
 +    * to get a better security and protection, prior  
 +      to acting ((//;-) though, you should act the  
 +      fastest you can please!//)) do kindly watch  
 +      the recordings ((//​Credentials Management  
 +      Lifecycle and Best Practices, 17/​10/​2024))

 +      on the management of MyAfriNIC credentials;​ in

 +    * Identify your collaborators who are responsible

 +      member accounts without prior notice and they  
 +      could eventually monetize (if they feel as you  
 +      are keeping ignorant and are not willing to  
 +      become aware of) advantages associated to it.  
 +    * Again, do kindly act the fastest you can please!
