From the above, the issue is that a representative of a company 
which is a member of Afrinic Ltd does not have adequate information 
to know whether Afrinic Ltd is run well.

Re: [Community-Discuss] Closed members and recovered resources

2017-06-29 Thread Andrew Alston
Jackson,

If you read my original email very carefully on this subject – I will not 
violate the NDA – I will not reveal anything that is not already published – 
the rules around the NDA are clear – do not reveal information that you gained 
– I am not doing that – I am asking the board to release the information 
themselves – and as Sander just said –


  1.  The existence of the audit-co report – is documented in the minutes – its 
contents aren’t – and I have not alluded to those contents
  2.  The existence of management letters is public knowledge – if you know 
anything about audit – you will know that is standard practice to issue such
  3.  The fact that I stated that I have knowledge of the management letter is 
public knowledge – I was chair of the audit-co – and the audit charter 
specifically permitted that
  4.  The fact that I have concerns about what is in there – that does not 
reveal any information about the contents – it reveals my opinion about a 
document that it is public knowledge that I have had access to.

I also point you to the resolutions past in the last few years – that 
specifically state that anything that is revealed to a third party not under 
NDA is considered within the public domain – the existence of anything I have 
questioned in the way of documents has been revealed through the publication of 
the minutes.

However Jackson, the problem here is – and I believe I stated as much in the 
previous email – the minutes which are published in any board – are never 
totally revealing – because there are reports – which are clearly mentioned in 
the minutes – and should a reference in the minutes me made to a report and 
that discussion was held around said report, the actual contents of that report 
are never published.  This is open to abuse – and while I am in no way alleging 
such abuse has taken place – I merely point out a significant risk – and here 
is how this could work


  1.  A committee exists
  2.  Work is assigned to said committee
  3.  The committee comes back with a report that is circulated
  4.  The board makes decisions based on what is in that report
  5.  The minutes reflect that the report was discussed – but nothing about 
what was in the report
  6.  The report is never tabled before the community

That leads to a situation where transparency can easily be avoided.

Am I saying that that has happened here?  Certainly not.  I am saying – that is 
the risk of reports that never make it to the light of day.  And as I have said 
– the existence of the reports – that is referenced – that is public 
information – all I am asking is that those reports be made public so that the 
community can judge their contents for themselves.

I also point out – under the national code of corporate governance for 
Mauritius – there are meant to be minutes of every single committee meeting – 
and I would like to ask the board – are those minutes available and if so will 
the board be prepared to publish them – since I believe that if we want 
transparency – let us get full transparency – including into the workings of 
the committees who’s existence is public knowledge.

Indeed, it is worrying that insider knowledge is necessary to know what 
information to ask for. That already shows a lack of transparency. Afrinic 
(morally) belongs to its members, and I understand the desire of those members 
to know how their organisation is run so they can have trust that it is run 
well. It would indeed be good to be able to build this trust without using 
insider knowledge.

> What does AfriNIC legal adviser have to say about this sort of disclosure?

Nothing has been disclosed that wasn't already disclosed through the minutes 
etc. Everybody could have asked for publication of reports mentioned in the 
minutes.

Sander

Re: [Community-Discuss] Closed members and recovered resources

2017-06-29 Thread Andrew Alston
Sunday,

Let me now respond further,

I apologise, I found the audit-co charter online.

I refer to point 3.8 of the charter:

3.8. All decisions of the committee shall be by consensus or unanimous vote of 
all its members.

What this means is – before the audit-co can put anything in a report back to 
the wider board – the ENTIRE committee has to agree that it goes into the 
audit-co report – that is crystal clear.  That limits – heavily – what can be 
said that will make it into the minutes of a board meeting.  Because – when 
issues get  controversial – it is entirely plausible (and I cannot confirm or 
deny due to the NDA if this happened) – that issues never make it into the 
actual reports.

Furthermore – if you refer to the board minutes – you will note that a report 
was tabled – the contents of that report however – are in the report itself – 
they will not appear in the minutes of the actual meeting – and to have this 
discussion further – I now am asking you to publish that entire report without 
redaction – since that will show exactly what I have raised and haven’t raised 
– and anything NOT in that report – please refer to section 3.8 of the charter 
referred to above.

In order to do that – may we audit co report that was presented to the board?  
That is covered by the NDA – and there are aspects of that that relate to this 
directly.

Can you also – for clarity before we get into this – publish the charter for 
the audit co – because again – to get into this fully – there needs to be 
points made about EXACTLY what is in that audit-co charter and the rules behind 
which anyone on the audit-co must operate.

Mr Alston,

Your crafty discussions about the NDA fuels a perception that there is a 
problem(s) which is being hidden from the public.
I think you should start from issues you raised as a Board member, on the 
board, which the Board did not attend to, or indeed ignored. You are free to 
refer to specific things in the Board minutes, there are no NDAs there.

Go for that!

my laymans understanding of this is that in effect, we, as members, 
pay AfriNIC to deliver us a service and because of the way the 
organisation and RIR’s in general are structured, we also get a say in 
how that service is done, and in effect, the financial aspects of the 
company are of concern to the members, since AfriNIC in effect is 
acting on our behalf in a trust capacity.  To enhance that trust – we 
need to know that the organisation will honour the rules around

clearly – and without apology – in violation of that clause.  Are you SURE this 
is the stance that the AfriNIC board wants to take?

Dear Community members,

The Board has confirmed from the auditors that the Management letter is not 
part of the Audit Report.

The cover note of the Management letter indeed has a part that reads 

"This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit
committee and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties."

Because of this, we can't and should not share the management letter.

I hope this clears the matter.

Since it concern audit and money. It is important for membership to know.

-A- If there is someting bad inside  letter, CEO and board had
responsiblity to inform members/community and tell us what is being done to
fix
-B- If there is nothing bad inside letter, that only increase our confidence

That is how we build TRUST. which before anyone is like a bank account. You
cannot keep withdrawing (no answering simple question from community,
calling on confidentiality, NDA etc) without making deposit (be more
transparent, disclosing thing before the go bad, etc) and expect thing to
go well.

Ok – but Janvier – at that point – this doesn’t make much sense – because – 
under the rules (see a resolution published I believe in 2014 or 2015), the 
moment you disclose to any member – it may as well be disclosed to all – since 
any document disclosed to an individual not bound by the AFRINIC NDA is 
considered in the public domain (I can find the exact resolution number and 
give you a link to it if you want)

So – fine – let someone ask for it let it be disclosed and let them publish it 
– either way – the point is – the community has a right to see it

And while on the subject of transparency, I would also ask, that the board 
disclosure *ALL* the audit reports – inclusive of the management letters which 
form part of the auditor’s report – as per section 7.6.(ii) which expressly 
says that the registered and resource members have the right to receive *ANY* 
auditor’s report.

Yes. reading loud and clear.

The Auditor's Report is already published along with the Financial Statements. 
The Board believes that the Management letter is a confidential document.


Sunday – then change the bylaws – the management letter forms a part of the 
auditors report to the board – indeed an auditor will not finalize without what 
is in there being addressed – it is a standard part of any audit report.  The 
bylaws are explicit – members have the right to *ANY* report from the auditors 
– no exceptions – no limitations.  I understand as well as you do that there 
are confidential documents which the board cannot share – however – if the 
right is explicitly granted in the bylaws – then there is no option but to 
share.  That is the nature of the bylaws – and the board does not have the 
right or the authority to ignore them

– you can adopt the financials – but it can’t be both – that’s not the way

Andrew,

Alright then and I get what you are saying, but the concern is still the 6
months delay its taken and is only expected in July 2017.

IMHO, the FS is a summary of the activity of AFRINIC in a given year
financially. As such, it would make sense for the report that explains the
details of the FS pending adoption by community and a report on AFRINIC
activities to be made available at the same time as the FS.

AFRINIC should combine both if need be and publish them as earlier as April
and before AGMM.



By the way – I have a serious and pressing concern that I will be raising
on the members list about the adoption of the financials – because I only
realized this AFTER the Nairobi meeting – under section 7.6.(i) the
community has the power to adopt the financials – and unless I am mistaken
– this was not done – so I would like to ask the board of directors when
this community will get to adopt said financials.


As far as I remember,  you were seated with fellow board members during the
discussion on the FS and if memory serves the Chair called for the adoption
of the FS after the community discussing it and no one in the room
objected. I could also be wrong unless I check the video archives on
youtube :-).



And while on the subject of transparency, I would also ask, that the board

To find exactly what space is currently quarantined, you can download the
extended statistics file from , search for “reserved” in the
seventh pipe-delimited column, and then exclude any space within the
following ranges which are reserved by policy:

IPv4 196.60.0.0/16  Reserved for IXPs peering networks per CPM 11.4
IPv4 196.49.0.0/16  Reserved for IXPs management networks per CPM 11.4

ASN 37769-37887 Reserved for use in BGP route servers at IXPs per

In the case of IPv6, the extended statistics file shows that, for each
allocated /48, space is reserved up to the next /44 boundary, and for each
allocated /32, space is reserved up to the next /29 boundary.  If you are
looking for quarantined space, you will also have to ignore these

Which means either this stats are outdated or wrong since your email and
explaination doesnt indicate why the above 3 blocks are marked as reserved
and which can't be recovered space as per the recovery numbers for 2017.

And why is the recovered and/or reseved space not listed in Afrinic's
normal pool or at a dedicated web page like below for better trasparency.

http://www.lacnic.net/web/lacnic/revocacion-de-recursos

Why can't Afrinic create similar tools?.

And what is the rational behind the 2 years quarantine  before the
recovered space can be reallocated?

What is the process of determining and/or restoring recovered space
reputation from previous activities

Noah



[1] By the way,  where is the annual report for 2016? The bylaws make its
publication mandatory.


[1] The community has requested and we agreed that In order to enhance
AFRINIC accountability, we make sure that this information is published
yearly so that the community/membership can know how much space is
recovered and available in the inventory.
