Personally, I think that we should simply eliminate the geographic restrictions on board seats and have a single AfriNIC board elected from qualified candidates from within the region, regardless of where in the region they come from. Owen > On Jun 16, 2019, at 4:39 AM, Dewole Ajao wrote: >

Re: [Community-Discuss] Reform Nomcomm - was Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat on AFRINIC Governance Committee

Since we are on the topic of "reforming" NomCom, I wonder why our bylaws state that candidates for appointment to NomCom shall *not* be domiciled in a region where an open seat is being contested. I think a person resident within a region is more likely to know and have access to suitably

Re: [Community-Discuss] Reform Nomcomm - was Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat on AFRINIC Governance Committee

Don't remember issues with NomCom when I was involved, not these types of problems at least. Perhaps its time to not worry about which regions volunteers come from any more. On 2019/06/16 12:54, John Walu wrote: On Sat, Jun 15, 2019 at 1:31 PM Owen DeLong > wrote: >>>

Re: [Community-Discuss] Reform Nomcomm - was Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat on AFRINIC Governance Committee

Walu, It is hard to make cross-RIR comparisons in this case because the idea of “regional seats” is unique to AfriNIC and exists in no other RIR. Every other RIR has a board made up entirely of those elected from the community at large. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, AfriNIC is the only

Re: [Community-Discuss] Reform Nomcomm - was Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat on AFRINIC Governance Committee

I've been involved with NomCom for a goodly number of years. The "Black Box" approach worked for me when I was involved. I think in all that time, only two nominations were dismissed. One because the person had no desire to stand - they were nominated kinda out of the blue. The other was
