[Community-Discuss] How to mesure performance of afrinic board

[Mark Elkins]

The Board was put there by AFRINIC Members in good standing.
Ergo, AFRINIC Members suck at choosing Board Members.

                          ----

There is a reason why a Term only lasts three years... it allows the
Membership to correct their errors.

I personally think the Board does not suck and is actually pretty good.
