Comments in line and speaking as a community member/netizen/internet end
user,  who cares for the organization vested with the mandate of managing
the most critical number resources upon which the INTERNET as we know it
depends on.

All the current resource members were community members before and some
have ceased from being resource members after closer of their business and
may comeback for resources in the near future.

So this is not just for those once community who have  since signed the
AFRINIC RSA and hence use resources but it's for all "netizens" who reside
within the AFRINIC region including those who are soon to be "resource
members".

the fee increases, this creates a legally untenable situation.

This begs the question!

Who elects the directors, do they elect themselves?

Whose interests do they serve?

What where they before they became directors?

Are they now so special now all over sudden and cant consult the same
community "resource members + non" who elected them? [1]

[1]The fiduciary duty on the directors to ensure that the company is
sustainable can not be realised without consulting or involving
stakeholders (community) especially in matters that involve fees/monies
after its our collective responsibility to ensure AFRINIC is sustainable.
