Thinking about the CEO, reading the minutes (
https://www.afrinic.net/ast/pdf/2019-minutes/20190305-minutes.pdf ) - I
think the best way out for the AfriNIC community is if the whole board
resigns - just leave the CEO. Andrew has got it right.

Benjamin,
Let’s see – you have a public document – a document that is clearly
and totally in the public domain. You have an individual who was a
named party in that document – who chose to share that document. You
have an active attempt by the board to sanction that individual for
engaging with the community who he is meant to serve. You have a
statement by the chair of the board that the CEO does not serve the
community but instead serves the board.
Effectively – you have a board attempting to censor the CEO from
engaging with this community – in a bottom up organization that by
legal representation during the IANA transition committed to the
concepts of self determination of members and transparency and bottom
up approach.
1. That constitutes micro-management
2. In constitutes a total and utter failure of the board to adhere to
the principles sworn to in the foundation of the organization in
the original ICP2
3. It shows a total disregard for the obligations set out in section
3 of the bylaws to keep members informed of all things pertinent
to the company
What I see here – is nothing short of disgraceful – and I find it
absolutely shocking that any board member who has a shred of ethics –
would not have resigned in light of what is in those documents. It is
a slap in the face of this community – and the entire global RIR
system – and I am disgusted and appalled. I would say to Serge as a
starting point – if you have no shame – resign – now. I would say to
the chair for your abject failure – resign – now. I would say to
every member who consented to the final sections of that document –
resign – now.
Andrew

Dear Sander,

I have read the minutes and I could not see any trace that is related
to “micro-management”. Rather the discussion revolved around the
procedure to publish the judgement, who should publish the judgement,
and the issue of NDA.
Could you please show me in the minutes the part that is dealing with
the micro-management?
Thank you,
Benjiloh

Hello,
I was just reading the board minutes at
https://www.afrinic.net/ast/pdf/2019-minutes/20190305-minutes.pdf
and I am surprised at the level of micro-management that CEO Alan
Barrett has to deal with. In those minutes both Alan and Seun
Ojedeji seem to be reprimanded for being open and transparent to
this community. The summary of those minutes show how the board
has made it explicitly clear that the CEO is to have no
responsibility anymore towards this community.
Therefore I would like to explicitly and publicly express my
gratitude to both Alan and Seun for their efforts to keep this
community involved in Afrinic matters in an open and transparent
way. I feel this is a strong requirement for keeping Afrinic
respected and supported by both its members and its community.
Sincerely,
Sander
