Badru,
<div>We are also a RIPE member and have been since before Afrinic existed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our fees with Afrinic are about 15 times what they would be with RIPE for equivalent IP resources. And RIPE gives us more services. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Service delivery from Afrinic was also historically poor but improved hugely under the leadership of new CEO Mr Barrett. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I’m speaking from experience as an Afrinic member. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are you an LIR these days? Is your experience of Afrinic value for money better than mine ?<br>

<div>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. <br>

<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Secondly a company of your size what you pay AFRINIC is probably a fraction of someone’s salary. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>Come on folks...</div>
