My only question is why the NomCom needs to be at the meetings at all. Do we not live in a connected world – where email, video conferencing, voice conferencing and other technologies are available to us?
I point out that RIPE does not even fund its PDP co-chairs to meetings – because decisions are made on the list. We have this bizarre idea that flying people all over the place is a good idea – personally – I think it’s a waste of time and members money – for goodness sake – we are here to promote the internet but can’t seem to figure out how to use it ourselves to cut our own costs?

AfriNIC will be wasting members money to conduct elections which involves facilitating members of nomcom to fly to meetings to conduct elections where no candidate is elected. Yes one of the ways that Afrinic wastes lots of money flying people around. This contributes to why our fees are so high compared to other RIRs we are in.
