I can surmise it in one word “hogwash”

Hi Boubakar, 


BQ_BEGIN
Can someone summarize this for us? I anticipate that it will be very much appreciated. 



Sure! In fact, Andrew already anticipated most of that in his email:

The summary though is as follows:

BQ_BEGIN
– YES the members can remove a director – the process would be as follows: 

BQ_END

BQ_BEGIN


BQ_END

BQ_BEGIN
• Utilizing clause 7.6.viii of the bylaws invoke an SGMM – for the purposes of passing a special resolution to amend the bylaws to allow the community to remove a director – and please note – that special resolution could set the required voting percentage to remove said director at whatever they liked – there is now low watermark – it is subject to whatever is in the constitution (as per section 138.2 of the companies act) 

BQ_END

BQ_BEGIN
• Once (a) was completed – call a second SGMM – for the express purpose of the removal of one or more directors – send out the notice of said meeting with the required 14 day notice period - and then pass a resolution as permitted by the process performed in (a) 

BQ_END

Many of the details depend on whether legally Resource Members are seen as shareholders of Afrinic, or if only the 9 Registered Members (= the board) are considered as such. It is a question that I honestly have no answer to, and although Andrew expressed his opinion, he does note that he is not a lawyer and would like independent legal counsel on the matter. 

Cheers, 
Sander
