That people with academic achievements end up on the board is fine. It would also have been fine if they did not have academic achievements. The members choose who they want on the board. But we never limited the choice to a arbitrary subset of the possible candidates. And I think it would be good for Afrinic to do the same.

Cheers,
Sander
