Indeed, it seems the current board and management which are at odds with the bylaws. Sunday and I are calling for them to actually follow the rules as written. If you feel that you need different policies for afrinic to function properly, Daniel, there are mechanisms for changing them.

Yes. This is correct. A major worry is the way the board and its committees' are selective in what to comply with, when it comes to the bylaw. There may be imperfections in that bylaw, but there are enough safeguards for manoeuvering positively, until members can meet. Sunday. On Fri, May 20,
