{perhaps a bit off-topic :-/}
Hi all,Please see below (inline)... Le mercredi 3 juillet 2019, Sunday Folayan <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : Hello Ahmed Fadl and the community, Soliciting for votes is not really a problem, indeed if the proposed candidates have strengths that will be of use to the Board, AfriNIC Ltd and the community at large, their promoters and campaign team can work hard at members buy-in for their proposed candidates without running other candidates down. Sunday (or any other participant), how the electoral campaign is organised at AFRINIC ? Is there a particular, written, ethic to avoid unwanted situations ? How this part of the elections process can be also improved ? Thanks & Shalom, --sb. In this case, what I find disturbing are: 1. That there is an undocumented strategy 2. That the fielding of sole candidates by NOMCOM was part of that undocumented strategy. 3. That other strategies may probably have been deployed in the past. My take on all the issues are that: For 1. ... "Buyers Beware". Enough said. For 2, ... we need to fix that, and fix it as soon as possible. I propose the following fixes: a) NOMCOM should not only present volunteers, it should seek qualified and experienced candidates who will consent to serving on the Board. b) Those who will nominate candidates must seek the concurrence of the candidates before nominating, to eliminate the step of seeking the consent of the candidates after nominations. c) Where there is only one candidate after all said and done, the members should be able to reject such a candidate at the Ballot d) Where candidates are rejected, the incumbent should serve for a maximum of 90 more days, within which an online election should be conducted to fill the vacant seats Do we need to change the bylaws? I don't think so. The proposed fix can go into the AfriNIC election guideline, as allowed by the existing bylaw. It should be shared with the members and the community early, and approved promptly towards the next election. For item 3, ... Perhaps it is too early to comment. Let us grab some pop-corn and stayed tuned to this movie channel. Sunday.
