Technically, this is not quite accurate. One becomes a board member by the 
result of an election by the resource members, not the community. The community 
is a much larger body.

Again, this is also not quite true. Some members of the community are saying 
this, but no objective deterministic research has been presented showing that 
this position is held by a majority of the community.

At least there is one true statement in your email.

Some members of the community are saying this. Other members are calling for a 
rational approach to a valid and fair investigation and due process.

This is simply sensationalism which has no legitimate place in the discussion. 
Nobody is being held hostage. I realize that it is popular to use this term as 
rhetoric in AfriNIC discussions, but really, there are no prisoners here. There 
are no hostages. The due process is being followed with reasonable deliberate 
haste.

> We need to move 

What kind of movement are you seeking? Do you propose that we gather a lynch 
mob and take out all of those who are accused without bothering to investigate 
or establish the true facts of the situation?

I’m sure this would satisfy the more vocal members of the community, but I do 
not think it would shine a positive light on AfriNIC going forward.

I am very happy to see the current leadership attempting to continue with due 
process under the circumstances despite the mob mentality being expressed on 
this and other lists.
