[Community-Discuss] Update from the Board regarding recent allegations

[Alan Barrett]

Dear AFRINIC community,

The AFRINIC Board has held several meetings recently, including a special meeting today (22 March 2018) to discuss the recent allegations.  The Board recognises the severity and importance of the allegations, and intends to act as quickly as reasonable, but without undue haste.

The Board wishes to clarify that the results of the independent investigation are expected to be reported by the Governance Committee on or before 30 April 2018.

The Board is seeking legal advice on whether or not there has been a breach of any NDA, and expects to receive an answer by 30 March 2018.

The budget of USD 15,000 was decided as an amount that the Board expects to be more than sufficient, so as to avoid back and forth approval.

Alan Barrett, CEO, on behalf of the AFRINIC Board
