Sunday AFRINIC is accountable to the member community. Board Members should
show sense of direction and encourage transparency in all processes and not
hide behind protecting the organisation or the "interest of the
organisation".

CAUTION
Senior members should refrain from shutting down discussions and or
opinions. Others may also be tempted to hit back.

Cheers

K.
