Well what is written is:

"This policy will take effect at the first AfriNIC Public Policy
Meeting following the ratification by the AfriNIC Board of Directors."

Yes, I can ;-)

Unfortunately, ratification of this proposal occurred less than 2
weeks before a PPM.

Generally, elections of this type take a minimum of 35 days to
organise, as can be seen here:

The feedback I am getting from the rest of the NomCom is that a
legitimate election
can't be organised in the next week.

Since the policy only takes effect at AfriNIC-13, then the first
possible opportunity
to hold an election will be AfriNIC-14
