[Community-Discuss] [Board-Discuss] Cotonou Meeting

[Andrew Alston]

Omo,

As a member that contributes fees to the organisation – at a rate of almost $50k a year – I have every single right in the world – to understand how that money is being spent.  And I will continue to ask – especially when an event is being held that is being paid for that is not on any event calendar.

While I realize that the organisation you work for – got their space on the back of a grant and didn’t even pay the allocation fee or the first few years of having it – and you are a small member – so its tiny amounts of money – others of us – actually would like to know where our cash is being spent to guide other decisions.

This line of questioning is unnecessary and unbecoming.   I am surprised the CEO has time to respond to this.

Sorry,

Last question – why is this event not on the AFRINIC Event calendar (or the ISOC event calendar)

The sponsorship is a lump sum. There is no additional or separate amount for a cocktail.

That sounds plausible, though it's more likely to be 4 people, not 5.
