<font face="Tahoma">Don't know if it's just me, but 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>
