Therefore, in addition to the prevailing sanitary protocol, you are hereby expressly informed that physical access to the designated AGMM Room shall be restricted to ONE representative of a Resource Member only. The same principle shall apply to Resource Members participating virtually. All other interested persons will be able to follow the proceedings online via the AFRINIC's youtube channel.

It is a pity that such information is sent only three two days before the AGMM.

Also, for a minute let’s agree that due to the restriction on 50 pax in a room you are limiting the attendance to one representative per Resource Member, then why is such limitation applied to Resource Members participating virtually?

I understood from AFRINIC Comms email [1] dated 27 May that AFRINIC will not go ahead with the Board elections.
