Today, during the APNIC51 meeting, in the Global Reports session (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://2021.apricot.net/program/schedule-conference/#/day/10/apnic-global-reports">https://2021.apricot.net/program/schedule-conference/#/day/10/apnic-global-reports</a>), as usual, there was a presentation from every RIR, including AFRINIC.
In this presentation from AFRINIC, there have been two "imprecisions". I prefer to use this wording instead of something stronger, because to me those are very severe issues. I've asked in the Q&A to get this publicly clarified and it was not done.
AFRINIC MUST publicly acknowledge the mistakes.
1) It was explained that the AFRINIC PDWG co-chairs resigned. You can see it at the end of the presentation.

2) It has been said that one of the policy proposals that reached consensus hasn't been sent to the Board for ratification, which is not true, as discussed in the RPD mailing list. The co-chairs did send the policy to the Board, but the Board decided to ignore it, because it looks like they want the chairs to follow a format that has never been enforced before and it has not been approved by the community, neither the PDP.
