Actually Badru – it’s not.
Snip

And in total – the travel expenses of AFRINIC racked up 10.7% of the total expenses – and anyone who knows anything about business should know – percentages like this – are not insignificant numbers.


Anyone who really understands the job to be done by AFRINIC would not be giving it a business benchmark and would understand the level of outreach needed in our region to fulfill our objectives to the Africa region community.

It’s user community first then business. If that does not work for some players then they should not be in the internet business. It has always been about the users and will continue that way.

Noah,


Yes one of the ways that Afrinic wastes lots of money flying people around. This contributes to why our fees are so high compared to other RIRs we are in.
Sorry to get personal but for someone of your experience and looking at the financials over the last few years taunting the above line is pure misinformation.

Secondly a company of your size what you pay AFRINIC is probably a fraction of someone’s salary.

Fees are based on your consumption if your business is growing and you need more resources you not only make a justification to AFRINIC but also to the Business.

All,
The election was run and winner declared. Majority of votes cast to have none of the candidates join the board.

So its pointless to have a nomcom in other-words and therefore AfriNIC will be wasting members money to conduct elections which involves facilitating members of nomcom to fly to meetings to conduct elections where no candidate is elected.

Come on folks...
