There are tools available to do this from a single board member to the collective.  The important thing to note though is that the evaluation must come from an informed premise of what the goals were.

+1 Ali ,
Mission (Goal) and Values are the key drivers of any organization.
In the case of AfriNIC, the BOD is to put in place a strategic plan.
This responsability being shared by the whole board, what can be the metric to evaluate BOD members performance.
Even the metrics are set, how can we evaluate the performance of a single BOD member while their terms don't start at the same time?


Kind Regards.

Hi All

I have just recently joined the list and have been following the discussions on the Afrinic Board with interest. Whilst I believe it's too early for me to provide an opinion I have one contribution to make.

Any Board has the fiduciary responsibility to drive the organization's goals as stipulated by its members /shareholders through its Memorandum and Articles which usually are broken down by period Strategic Plans. I believe Boards should ultimately be judged by whether an organisation is meeting/exceeding its mandate through the implementation of the above. 

Do we have in place such reviews? And how are they structured?  Are they public documents we can access?

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.

As a general rule, the only check and balance on a board is the voting members who can
choose to change out the board and the board itself who can (usually) remove a member
if it is necessary.

The method for measuring the effectiveness of the board is generally up to each voter
to determine for his/her self and I don’t see any reason this should be different for AfriNIC.

I think the members of AfriNIC are perfectly capable of electing the board and that
there is no reason we should dictate to them what criteria they should consider when
making their votes.

i have been thinking about this for a while. there's a triangle of
check and balance that make this system work

- board check and balance ceo (and staff?)

who does check and balance on board? members only? or the community at large?
I also like to know, what are the thing used to measure whether a
board being effective? should we clarifie this mesures so that its
self-evidence to everyone when board is doing good job or not? should
we add that check and balance formally to responsabilite of governance
committee? i belief good performance and good governance go hand in
hand.

thoughts?
