<p><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Dear Mark,<br>
<br>
The Board at a special meeting held on the 18th of April 2018 had the opportunity to reconsider your request to include a standard resolution in the upcoming AGMM agenda. The Board has decided not to include it in the agenda inline with section 12.14(ix) of
the bylaw. However, the Board suggests that the item can be discussed during the Open Mic session should members be interested. <br>
<br>
It is my hope that we will all continue to contribute positively to building a much stronger AFRINIC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the inconvenience this might have caused.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Kind regards</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Apologies as the Board could not respond to your e-mail yesterday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Board acknowledges receipt of your mail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Board further reminds the Members that every member has the right to table a resolution at the AGMM.<o:p></o:p></p>
