A percentage is good. However, I think that one needs to specify if a quorum can include online participants and then how to carer for the voting... As the stats show, a large number of people voted, but might night have been present and a number of onsite votes were probably proxies (although that

Re: [Community-Discuss] IPv6 Chapter 254

Hi, Here are some interesting points. As things stand: 1) AFRINIC makes money from assigning v4 space 2) If you had to stop allocating v4 space today, there’d be a political uprising by many (and refer to above, AFRINIC would need to update its financial model ASAP 3) As lon

Re: [Community-Discuss] Limit on the number of proxies

Personally i would like to focus on removing the need to have proxies in the first place. We need to be able to easily vote for elections, resolutions and policy online. Open the voting a week before and keep it open x days after to enable people who are away to catchup and vote. This would r

Hi Currently, you can only apply for IP space for immediate usage and up to 1 year and it currently takes about 3 months to get space (recent experience). Just a question: if this gets passed, where is AFRINIC going to get the resources to do this since I don’t think that the hostmasters ha
