==Structure & Programming Committee==
On 2016 January 30, AfPIF released a document detailing the governance framework for how AfPIF's Program Committee, also referred to as "PC", would be structured and regulated. It concluded that the PC would consist of a Chairperson, Co-Chair, PC Members, and at least two support staff from the Secretariat, with no upper limit in place for the number of PC members. New members would be chosen on an annual basis via a selection process, limited to a number that the PC believes is manageable.<ref name="structure">[http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/afpif-program-committee-governance-structure Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) Program Committee Governance Structure], InternetSociety.org. Published 2016 February 2. Retrieved 2016 March 24.</ref>
The types of members and their roles are:<ref name="structure"></ref>
'''Community Selected PC Members'''
* '''Chairperson and Co-Chair''' - Tasked with formal representational tasks, the chair and co-Chair do not have any voting privileges over the rest of the PC.
* '''PC Members''' - Please refer to the “PC Members Duties” section.
'''Support PC Members'''
* '''Secretariat Support Staff''' - Will serve as the secretariat and liaison between the secretariat [1], and the PC.
* '''(Optional) Local Host Support staff''' - A rotational seat for a liaison from the local host to be appointed by the local host, and to serve for a term that ends with the conclusion of that forum. If the liaison nominated by the local host is already a PC member, the rotational seat becomes void. The appointment of this seat, should take place in parallel with the selection of new PC members or at a later date when the location of the next AfPIF is confirmed.
