There may be an operational (not policy or contractual) deficiency in that staff may not be making adequate use of the existing tools for accountability. I’m not convinced that is the case, but even if it is, the way to address that is through discussion of the issue(s) with the CEO and management, not through vague and poorly written policy with massive potential for abuse.

You seem confused.  I am asking for constructive comments so we can have a useful discussion, something you seem to have missed in your opinionated outburst.   This precisely what we need to avoid to move forward in AFRINIC and for the Chairs to note.
