Perhaps the CEO needs to be given more leeway and authority when
communicating with the community. I am sure the CEO can use his
best judgment to determine when any information toward the
public needs to go by the Board for review.<br>
<br>
I fear that if the CEO needs to run an inordinate amount of
operational matters via the Board (including communication),
fatigue will set in and little progress will be made.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Makes sense. Especially on operational and PR
issues such as this. Letting the CEO communicate will also
reduce the sense of non-responsiveness that members sometimes
feel (although it's unavoidable because the board has to
convene and agree before any response can be given - even on
simple issues whereas the CEO will be able to respond
authoritatively to a large extent on behalf of AFRINIC the
company).

curious why this update (and the investigations
associated with it) are not coming from our CEO.<br>
<br>
I've consistently said that I feel the AFRINIC Board are
too involved in AFRINIC's day-to-day affairs, which,
IMHO, need to be managed by the AFRINIC CEO and his
team, both in front of and behind the scenes.<br>
<br>
I am somewhat disturbed that this culture does not
appear to have changed even on the back of the
appointment of the new CEO.<br>
<br>
Personally, I'd rather be hearing from the CEO and/or
any of his staff, than the Board.<br>

<div>Dear Community at large,<br>
<br>
As the community may also, be aware, AFRINIC has
attracted some media coverage relating to
suspicious activity in its WHOIS database
primarily a limited section of legacy resources. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
On behalf of the Board, I would like to assure
both the AFRINIC membership and the Internet
community at large that the Board has conducted
some preliminary assessment of the matter, and
would like to let you know that investigations are
progressing well and will be concluded soon, most
likely before or by the end of the year. We cannot
reveal much or go into further details at this
stage as we do not want to jeopardise the
investigations. However, you can rest assured that
we will get to the bottom of the matter. At the
same time, we want to ensure that the rights of
any affected parties are respected and protected
as per the law. All said we are keen to ensure the
interests of AFRINIC members are safeguarded as we
seek to maintain stable, reliable and effective
management of Internet resources. Besides, the
AFRINIC WHOIS database remains fully operational
with high standards of integrity. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nevertheless, there is always room for
improvement and AFRINIC operations team is
currently reviewing some of the long-established
processes relating to the management of Internet
resources under AFRINIC's ambit. The team
is already implementing some improvement measures
at both the IT Infrastructure and process level.
As usual, the AFRINIC membership will be
appropriately apprised of the developments.<br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
Dr Christian D. Bope<br>
Chairman, AFRINIC Board of Directors</div>
