Hello Marcus, Kangamutima and the Community,<br class="">
Let me make a clarification.<br class="">
<br class="">
The thinking and intention of the Board is that:<br class="">
<br class="">
1. Provision 9.2a can be triggered by 9.4 or by the Board when the
need arises, without waiting six months for a community meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
2. Such an action is indeed an emergency action. Such an action
requires a super majority of the board as noted in 9.2a and 1
above. <br class="">
<br class="">
3. The Board is happy to make it 3/4 i.e. 7 members, instead of the
current super-majority of 2/3 i.e. 6 members, if there is no
objection or other view on the required majority from the community.<br class="">
<br class="">
There is nothing inappropriate about such a provision. Indeed, the
Board (elected by the same community, acting on behalf of the
community) approves policies made by the Community, on behalf of the
community.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Well… Not quite true, there Sunday.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>The board is elected by the AfriNIC voting members.

<div class="">Hi Community,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In deed, I cannot also grasp the common sense behind the
board revoking community elected representative at the NRO
NC/ASO AC. In fact, it does not make sense for the board to do
so but rather it is the community which can revoke board
members. I therefore don’t support this provision.</div>

<div class="">Dear Alan,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for this.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is a problem with 9.2a (and 9.4 by implication). It
is groundless for the board to remove a member that was
appointed by the community.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Officers should be removed by the mechanism by which they
were appointed. All the other proposed clauses follow this
principle of like for like.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is also lack of a procedure to recall members of
the board of directors. This is a good time to also deal
with the recall of officers in general. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>

<div class="">Dear AFRINIC Community,<br class="">
<br class="">
The Board has noted that there is no procedure for the
removal of an NRO NC/ASO AC member. The Board has
drafted a procedure to be considered for addition to
the election guidelines at <<a href="https://www.afrinic.net/en/community/elections/nro-aso-election?showall=1" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" class="">https://www.afrinic.net/en/<wbr class="">community/elections/nro-aso-<wbr class="">election?showall=1</a>>.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Board calls for comments for a 30 day period
(ending on 22 December 2017). Please comment in the
community-discuss mailing list.<br class="">
<br class="">
The draft procedure appears below.<br class="">
<br class="">
Alan Barrett<br class="">
CEO, AFRINIC<br class="">
<br class="">
——<br class="">
<br class="">
The Board proposes the following procedure, to be
considered for addition to the election guidelines at:<br class="">
<<a href="https://www.afrinic.net/en/community/elections/nro-aso-election?showall=1" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" class="">https://www.afrinic.net/en/<wbr class="">community/elections/nro-aso-<wbr class="">election?showall=1</a>><br class="">
<br class="">
9. Removal<br class="">
<br class="">
9.1 An NRO NC member appointed by the AFRINIC Board
may be removed from office at any time by a resolution
of the Board.<br class="">
<br class="">
9.2 An NRO NC member elected by the AFRINIC community
may be removed from office through any of the
following methods:<br class="">
<br class="">
(a) A supermajority vote (two-thirds) of the AFRINIC
Board, meeting in person or via teleconference, at a
meeting where the agenda circulated in advance
includes the possible removal of an NRO NC
representative.<br class="">
(b) A majority vote held by the community present at
an AFRINIC Public Policy Meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
9.3 An individual whose removal is contemplated in
terms of 9.2 is entitled to at least 10 calendar days’
notice of the meeting, and may appear before and be
heard at such a meeting. Removal may proceed with or
without such individual’s presence at the meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
9.4 Any ten (10) bona fide members of the AFRINIC
community may petition the Board to initiate a removal
in terms of 9.2(b), giving at least 40 days’ notice
and giving reasons for the contemplated removal. Such
petition shall be published. Unless the Board finds
that the petition is invalid or frivolous, the Board
shall ensure that the agenda of the forthcoming Public
Policy Meeting includes the consideration of the
removal of the NRO NC member.<br class="">
<br class="">
9.5 Eligibility to vote for the removal in terms of
9.2(b) shall be determined in the same way as the
eligibility to vote for the appointment of candidates.<br class="">
