<p>Dear community,</p>
<p>I've handed the Chair of the AFRINIC Board my resignation -
effective immediate. I'm still under NDA so can't say much. I do
disagree with what is happening and feel that I have been grossly
mislead. The current situation has been brewing for months - long
before I joined. <br>
</p>
<p>I do have a personal view that the "Assisted Review" program is
misguided and needs to be terminated and its effects reversed. It
would seem to be the cause of much friction.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support and votes. <br>
</p>
