[rpd] Board Election 2017: Final Candidate Slate

[Mark Elkins]

My belief: (What I tried to get when on NomCom)

Degrees are all well and fine - but you primarily want successful
Leaders. People who have been on other Boards in the ICT world make
sense. (ISPA, Registries, ISP's, ISOC, ICANN and RIRs). Experience from
non-profit boards also makes sense (as AFRINIC is a non-Profit company
in the IT world)

Candidates should not be too young (that is, still in or just out of
University or still doing their PhD) and have worked for five years+ in
the IT Industry - as well as respected and known by their local
industry. Having chairman, auditor or financial skills and
responsibilities can only help.

AFRINIC - although non-profit - is still a business. I want a Board with
business experience.
