Allow me to reply instead.

The notice was published on the web site on 22 March, as it says, but there was a delay before the notice was sent in email.  I take responsibility for the delay, so please don?t blame NomCom.  The underlying reasons for the delay involved changes to the nomination form (which has different requirements from last year), uncertainty about whether or not self-nominations were allowed (no, in accordance with the bylaws, but different from last year), and confusion regarding the timeline.

Hello Alan,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
My main concern is about the time given to apply:
2016 Election: 8 days (12 April to 20 April)
2015 Elections: More than 1 Month ( 18 March  to 15 April 15).

People used to plan according to past experience and I think that this drastic variation (from more than 30 days to 8) is not helping.
I will suggest to extend for even 10 days.

Kind Regards.

I agree that an extension would be a good idea.  I have already suggested to NomCom that they consider an extension.

The notice was published on the web site on 22 March, as it says, but there was a delay before the notice was sent in email.  I take responsibility for the delay, so please don?t blame NomCom.  The underlying reasons for the delay involved changes to the nomination form (which has different requirements from last year), uncertainty about whether or not self-nominations were allowed (no, in accordance with the bylaws, but different from last year), and confusion regarding the timeline.

Hello Alan,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
My main concern is about the time given to apply:
2016 Election: 8 days (12 April to 20 April)
2015 Elections: More than 1 Month ( 18 March  to 15 April 15).

People used to plan according to past experience and I think that this drastic variation (from more than 30 days to 8) is not helping.
I will suggest to extend for even 10 days.

Kind Regards.

I agree that an extension would be a good idea.  I have already suggested to NomCom that they consider an extension.

[francais]
D?sol?, je peux comprendre la premi?re partie de votre question, mais je ne comprends pas la partie sur croc-en-jambe.

En termes de la section R?glements 9.3 (ii) (b), Le NomCom a la responsabilit? de "prescrire des crit?res et des qualifications pour l'admissibilit? ? se pr?senter comme un candidat pour les ?lections tenues par AfriNIC".  NomCom de chaque ann?e est libre de prescrire des crit?res et des qualifications qui sont diff?rentes de l'ann?e pr?c?dente.

[english]
Sorry, I can only understand the first half of your question; I don't understand the part about croc-on-leg.

In terms of the Bylaws section 9.3(ii)(b), The NomCom has the responsibility to "prescribe criteria and qualifications for eligibility to stand as a candidate for elections held by AFRINIC".  Each year's NomCom is free to prescribe criteria and qualifications that are different from the previous year.

:-( That's going to put a damper on AIS participation for those from 
outside the region (especially when you throw in South African transit 
visa requirements).

Would it be possible for Afrinic and Afnog secretariats to help the 
folks at BOCRA understand the part they can play to ease the visa 
processing? Being a government agency, they should have some clout. 
Giving the home office a list of registered participants seems to have 
eased a few visa troubles with foreign missions in the past.

Regards,
Dewole.

The advisory council proposed in the document was supposed to advise on address policy issues, much like the existing ARIN AC.  It was not intended to be anything like AFRINIC?s existing Council of Elders or soon-to-be-established Governance Committee.



This is not true?.



https://www.isoc.org/INET97/ans97/afrinic.htm section 4.3 reads



========

4.3. Advisory Council

The Advisory Council shall act in advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees on all matters involving the interests, activities, and operations of AfriNIC. The Advisory Council is to act on behalf of the membership on all matters of concern to AfriNIC. The Advisory Council is expected to consider the long term best interests of the membership, and to take cognisance of the fact that AfriNIC is acting in the public trust as steward of limited public resources such as IP address space??..

=====



So the  scope of the proposed AC is not limited to address policy issues like the existing ARIN AC





About the ARIN AC from  https://www.arin.net/about_us/ac.html

====

The Advisory Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees on Internet number resource policy and related matters. Adhering to the procedures in the Policy Development Process, the Advisory Council forwards consensus-based policy proposals to the Board for ratification.

======



Hope this helps
