As it should be. </div><div><br></div><div>However, what happens when an issue needs to be addressed by the Board? Will you then represent the board? </div><div><br></div><div>From a corporate governance perspective this must and should be addressed by the board chair. You cannot represent the board on such matters. Kindly clarify this point. Let me also add that as a community based organization the board cannot be hands off. As long as they don’t interfere with the day to day running of the organization. Their fiduciary responsibility requires that from time to time they address issues pertaining to their role. The board chair usually represents them on this. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards </div><div><br><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.231373);"><b>Ali Hussein</b></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.231373);"><b><br></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">+254 0713 601113 </div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; "><br></div><div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Twitter: @AliHKassim</span></p><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font></font></span><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Skype: abu-jomo</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">LinkedIn: <a href="http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim" target="_blank">http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim</a></span></p><font><br></font></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"We are what we repeatedly do.

<p><span style="color:black">Dear Colleagues,</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">I am writing to let you know that I
have been following the ongoing conversations on our various
mailings lists with great interest. I thank you for the
feedback and concerns which I believe can only strengthen
AFRINIC operations going forward.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">I would particularly like to respond to
emails concerning the roles of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
and the AFRINIC Board of Directors (BoD) in communicating with
Members and the Community. This is something we have been
discussing with the BoD right after my appointment , and I would
like to state that, from now henceforth, all matters concerning
AFRINIC operations will be dealt by me. The BoD is in charge of
governance, strategy and oversight role of the affairs of the
company as described in section 15 of the Bylaws. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">I hope this addresses some of the
concerns </span>raised.</p>
<p><span style="color:black">I take this opportunity to once again
thank you for your continued support.</span></p>
