><br>
> Dear Sami,<br>
><br>
> Following our remote presentation on the Research and Innovation (R&I) Department update, you and some other delegates had some questions which I would try to answer on the list; perhaps this could spark more discussions/recommendations on the activities of AFRINIC Research.<br>
><br>
> Questions from the audience at AFRINIC-29:<br>
><br>
> #### What is the methodology for selecting research projects? ####<br>
> We try, as much as possible, to work on research projects that will help formulate policies that can have a positive impact on the development of the Internet ecosystem in Africa. Research projects are therefore selected based on the mutual interest from AFRINIC Research partners and on potential impact it can bring.<br>
> Example of a policy brief, based on a research study:<br>
> <<a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3269710">https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3269710</a>><br>
><br>
> #### Whether AFRINIC Research team takes feedback from the community on research needed and how does the research benefit the community with regards to issues faced by the community? ####<br>
> We gather feedback based on the discussions we have during our meetings. For e.g. we presented a city-to-city latency analysis as a follow-up of the Africa Latency study at AFPIF, this year, based on requests we received on the microphone. In the future, we intend to run a survey to get more detailed feedback on the needs of the community in terms of research. The team will launch an ?Internet Measurement Awareness Survey? early next year to understand the ?Internet measurement needs" of the community.<br>
><br>
> #### Is AFRINIC involved in research with regards to marketing and regulatory aspects? ####<br>
> AFRINIC is definitely interested in understanding the dynamics of the ISP market and how it is influenced by the regulations in different countries. We have not done any research work on this aspect as at now, but this is a topic in which Research ICT Africa has a good expertise, we may consider collaborate with them in the future. <br>
><br>
> You will find all research output from the R&I team in the last two years at this link:<br>
> <<a href="https://afrinic.net/research">https://afrinic.net/research</a>><br>
><br>
> We also worked on a proof-of-concept of a data portal, which contains information such as IPv6 penetration, ISP market share, etc. Extending this platform is one of our main projects in 2019:<br>

> These are the principal changes from the previous version of the Board election process and guidelines (as adopted in 2014 with minor changes thereafter):<br>
><br>
> The process is started much earlier, with the call for NomCom volunteers in October of the year before the election, instead of January of the year of the election.<br>
> Additional time is allowed for some steps in the process.<br>
> Most of the guidelines previously provided to NomCom by the Board (in terms of Bylaws article 9.2) are incorporated into this election process.<br>
> The ?None of the above? option has been removed.<br>
> Disputes shall be resolved in terms of Article 10.2 of the Bylaws.<br>
> The NomCom chair is not a member of the Election Committee; that would violate Bylaws article 10?s requirement that the Election Committee be made up of staff.<br>
> Proxies may be validated up to 24 hours before the election, in accordance with past practice.<br>
> Electronic voting ends at the same time as voting by paper ballot ends, in accordance with past practice.<br>
> Electronic voting has only three trustees, not four, in accordance with past practice.<br>
> Results are announced with the full number of votes cast for each option.<br>
