Has this ever been required for being a candidate for AfriNIC Board member?

No! So let's not exaggerate things and create unnecessary and time wasting

Playing down education will certainly not serve AfriNIC and our continent.
It would rather send bad signals to our youth; something like: just find
your way through the "system".
