Interesting events going on anyway.
1. A committee is setup to look for a new CEO. When exactly did the CEO
officially resign and when was it made public to the community?
2. Is it necessary the committtee setup to oversee the search of a new CEO
include the current chair and the outgoing CEO?
3. The recent board chariman steps down giving reasons another board
director would be better positioned to usher in the new CEO. How does that
affect chairmanship?
4. Within 24 hours of assuming chairmanship, the new chair comes out with a
statement which basically means the board cannot intervene where necessary
with regards to resource allocation.
5. Now IF IT IS TRUE another /12 IPv4 has been issued to ORG-CIL1-AFRINIC
- 45.192.0.0/12 <http://pastebin.com/yta1XTPu> - which seems to be out of
the normal pool the RIR has allocated in 2014 then we really need to have a
look at the composition of the board and how AfriNIC staff interpret the
current policies.
The exisiting policies if WELL INTERPRETED should not allow some of these
allocations.
All the LIRs which have been assigned huge IPv4 blocks at least originate
part of the allocated blocks from their allocated ASN but this particular
LIR prefers to originate his blocks from other LIR ASN.
http://bgp.he.net/net/154.87.0.0/16#_dns

6. And if some of these evaluation of allocations are been overiden by
management or permitted due to financial crises then the community has to
call for an external audit into the the operations of the RIR or dissolve
the board.
Lastly if we in the region are not creating enterprises to boost regional
development cant we create partnerships with genuine investors and task
them to help build capacity in our region rather than watch them take our
resources away.
There are better and productive ways to deal with some of these problems.
cheers
