There really needs to be more interaction between the operations of AFRINIC and an independent inspecting agency. Recent decisions from the AFRINIC board have been dubious at best and yet it continues to operate as such. It has become clear whatever standard of accountability AFRINIC ostensibly adheres to on paper is overlooked in practice. Either AFRINIC is sorely misguided in understanding its own policy, or it is operating according to their own best interests immune to any concept of accountability. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#222222;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#222222;background:white'>-Brian</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
