AFRINIC has what is called the "Delegation of Authority". It should be
followed or repealed.

Thanks, Dewole.
Perhaps the CEO needs to be given more leeway and authority when
communicating with the community. I am sure the CEO can use his best
judgment to determine when any information toward the public needs to
go by the Board for review.
I fear that if the CEO needs to run an inordinate amount of
operational matters via the Board (including communication), fatigue
will set in and little progress will be made.

Makes sense. Especially on operational and PR issues such as this.
Letting the CEO communicate will also reduce the sense of
non-responsiveness that members sometimes feel (although it's
unavoidable because the board has to convene and agree before any
response can be given - even on simple issues whereas the CEO will be
able to respond authoritatively to a large extent on behalf of
AFRINIC the company).

Don't know if it's just me, but curious why this update (and the
investigations associated with it) are not coming from our CEO.
I've consistently said that I feel the AFRINIC Board are too
involved in AFRINIC's day-to-day affairs, which, IMHO, need to be
managed by the AFRINIC CEO and his team, both in front of and
behind the scenes.
I am somewhat disturbed that this culture does not appear to have
changed even on the back of the appointment of the new CEO.
Personally, I'd rather be hearing from the CEO and/or any of his
staff, than the Board.

Dear Community at large,
As the community may also, be aware, AFRINIC has attracted some
media coverage relating to suspicious activity in its WHOIS
database primarily a limited section of legacy resources.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to assure both the AFRINIC
membership and the Internet community at large that the Board
has conducted some preliminary assessment of the matter, and
would like to let you know that investigations are progressing
well and will be concluded soon, most likely before or by the
end of the year. We cannot reveal much or go into further
details at this stage as we do not want to jeopardise the
investigations. However, you can rest assured that we will get
to the bottom of the matter. At the same time, we want to ensure
that the rights of any affected parties are respected and
protected as per the law. All said we are keen to ensure the
interests of AFRINIC members are safeguarded as we seek to
maintain stable, reliable and effective management of Internet
resources. Besides, the AFRINIC WHOIS database remains fully
operational with high standards of integrity.
Nevertheless, there is always room for improvement and AFRINIC
operations team is currently reviewing some of the
long-established processes relating to the management of
Internet resources under AFRINIC's ambit. The team is already
implementing some improvement measures at both the
IT Infrastructure and process level. As usual, the AFRINIC
membership will be appropriately apprised of the developments.
Best regards,
Dr Christian D. Bope
Chairman, AFRINIC Board of Directors
