[Community-Discuss] AFRINIC Council of Elders

[Benjamin Eshun]

Dear Alan,

What secrets do we have to hide about how AfriNIC is governed?  Why not provide the minutes without redaction so if it resolves this festering matter once and for all?

It does not makes sense to me and it is clear that there is something to hide.  The board is not able to tell the community what transpired and points fingers at those who would inform us.   

I would appreciate it better if the organisation was a private company or had some information that was of some trade secret value.  But AfriNIC is basically a monopoly in the region and cannot have competition from any of the other RIRs.  

I'm beginning to see signs of elected officers of a community that unilaterally take decisions and actions without due recourse to the membership that put them there in the first place. 

This truly saddens me. Afrinic board meetings should be public.

Benjamin

Don’t expect transcripts to be published at all.  The Board has committed to publish minutes, but reserves the right to redact them before publication.  In the case of old minutes that have not yet been published, the process of redaction (to remove information that had never been planned to be published) is ongoing.  I expect it to be done by the end of 2016.
