[members-discuss] APNIC Board Elections Outcome: NRS Reform Activists Rejected

[Noah]

Hi Arnaud

The lessons learning by APNIC from our region did help indeed in preventing
their EC council from being potentially captured by a single organisation
or interest group.

The community in the AFRINIC region if you will remember has been very
active in defending our region from the Larus and NRS ideas and activism
for quit a while now.

If you will remember how we managed to come together to defend the PDP
process and the RPD list from sock puppets and misleading policies from
that group.

If you will remember, in the previously elections, Mark Elkins win for the
board seat on Southern Africa was a statement of our communities resolve
that we will not accept the Larus and NRS activist when we rejected the
likes of Paul Wolner who is now the chairman of NRS.

You remember how the AFRINIC community refused and rejected the vote buying
behaviour from becoming the new normal.

While their ideas were now being spread across the APNIC region, the
community there saw it fit to reject them completely and that vote of no
confidence in the NRS is exciting and a statement that the community is
happy with the RIR system and will fight to defend the system.
