I agree with Boubakar here. I think that granting associate membership voting
rights is an invitation to organizational capture.
Consider the relatively low voting participation as it stands (IIRC, the last
time I was involved in counting an AfriNIC election,
there were fewer than 200 total vote

The PRIMARY value to Associate members should be reflected in the association
with Afrinic and not Voting.
The PRIMARY value to resource members are the resources from Afrinic.

Hello all,
I have a question about item 12 (last, "Policies introduced by the
Board") among the proposed changes.
So far we have "measuring of acceptance" at the PDP meetings, no
"approval" or "voting".
This suggestion introduces "endorsement" during the PDP meeting, while

Hi Douglas,
valid points.
One small "value addition" is of course the "priceless" association with
AfriNIC. I trust that for "some, but only a few" entities this could be
enough value.
But beyond that I think the question is: "how much more value does
AfriNIC want to give and how many more associ

Hello Alan,
One point I observed has not been captured in the summary (which i also
suggested), was to limit the Independent Director seat to "at most" one per
region at any given time. This will address a possible situation where we
end up having 4 directors from a region.

I agree with the sentiments as echoed by Boubakar below.

Hello,
At the moment we have three main categories with their purposes;
1. We have the entire community, which includes everyone participating
within AFRINIC one way or the other.
2. We have those who are customers of AFRINIC (referred to as resource
members)
3. We have those who are "literally
Hi Alan,
Thanks for sharing this document. It will form a solid basis for continued
deliberation on amendments of the bylaws.
Regarding #1, specifically the Associate Members' right to (or not) vote, I
