Sounds fine. This certainly frames the concerns raised and from the
different paragraphs also frames a schedule of the requirements.

Subject: [AfriNIC-rpd] Way forward on discussion re. Election Process and
Bylaws 

>Dear colleagues,

>       board.
>
>   A.2 The Board, based on the report, setup an Election Process Review
>       committee that will come up with a revision of the current
>       process attached and available online at:
>       http://www.afrinic.net/elections/process/ep_bod.htm
>
>   A.3 The proposal of the Review Committee will be published for
>       comments and presented at AfriNIC-15 meeting for further
>       discussion.
>
>   A.4 The Board should approve a new Election policy not later than
>       15/01/2012 so it can be used as from the next 2012 elections.
>
>B. On the AfriNIC Bylaws: Theres are already some ongoing discussion on
>   reviewing the current bylaws to better frame the
>member-only/Institutional
>   category. I will suggest that during this exercise all the other
>concerns 
>   be addressed. We will work with our legal counsel on that and present
>   the outcome to the current members (full and associates), and make
>them 
>   available online for public comment as well. The first Draft will be
>   presented at AfriNIC-15.

>Kind Regards to you all!
