Hi Owen,
Thanks for your email, brother!
Please add the comparison effect, before jumping
 to a conclusion :-)

Again! i couldn't agree more, due to the presence
of the other part of that very sentence; you seem
to neglect :-/

...as the comparison is obvious, let me ask you to
answer, first, few simple questions:

Q1| How many proxies a resource member (RM)
can designate?

Q2| Is it possible that RM has *a* group of proxies?

Q3| if the answer of Q2| is yes, then; what is the
max number of proxies for such a group of?

Q4| i understand it's not sufficient to a resource
member to being represented by only one person,
then; which provision in both the AfriNIC's Bylaws
and/or the MU's Company Act (2001) allow it to
be more than only one's personal expectation?


Hope this clarifies something!

Shalom,
--sb.
