Noah, Section 13.8 exists in specific circumstance – to fill a casual vacancy – which is only valid until the date of the next election. So yes – in the event of none of the above – the board has the right to appoint for a limited period – not a full 3 year term. Do I believe that is right? No – but it is the rules.
That however – is very different from a 3 year forced appointment Andrew From: Noah <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 4 June 2019 13:36 To: Sander Steffann <[email protected]> Cc: General Discussions of AFRINIC <[email protected]>; AFRINIC Communication <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Community-Discuss] Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat on AFRINIC Governance Committee On Tue, 4 Jun 2019, 13:30 Sander Steffann, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, > All of the applicable definitions require the ability (right) to freely > choose. When there is no choice, there is no election. And to be perfectly clear on this: as there is no election, I believe this violates section 13.7(i) of the Afrinic bylaws, as those explicitly state: """ Except for the Chief Executive Officer, and subject to Articles 13.1O and 13.11, all other Directors shall be elected by Resource and Registered Members on the date of each Annual General Members' Meeting. Read the bylaws especially section 13.8 """ No election -> no Directors Board can appoint.
