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 clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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 clear="none">

<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).

I've consistently said that I feel the AFRINIC Board are

As the community may also, be aware, AFRINIC has

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 clear="none">

</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 clear="none">
