>
> The board is involved in policy process.
>
> Section 15.3(*) of the bylaws entitles  board to determine  the guidelines
> for the allocation of address space to members in line with the member
> driven Policy Development Process.
>
> Section 11.4(*) of the same bylaws allows board to adopt policies for the
> management of Internet Number resources when necessary and urgent.
>
> Furthermore,
>
> The current PDP in its section 3.4.4(**), requires board approval for
> policy proposals which reach consensus before implementation.
>
> Board decision to approve and reject a proposal is mainly about making
> sure the PDP has been followed as it shall be. Board  decision  here is not
> appealable.
>
>  The board is deeply involved in the policy development and is in good
> position to fulfill this role of the appeal committee which is about
> processes, and this, at least until we conclude PDP-BIS  discussions.
>
> But in case, the board persist in considering a external committee, i call
> the board to appoint people from the AFRINIC Community.

> Hope this helps
