This talk will present the results of our research on international R and E routing policies and start a discussion on current and future routing policies for R and E traffic in and out of Africa. Our goal is to create a sustainable dialogue between partners that will help our community address: What do current routing policies look like? Can we better understand why the current policies are in place? What, if anything, can we do as a community to potentially improve routing for R and E traffic in and out of Africa?
