[rpd] [members-discuss] DMARC Violation Concerning the current size of AFRINIC Staff of 51 and delays in ticket resolution

[Owen DeLong]

+1 to what Andrew has said here… The continuing displays of mismanagement at the top of AFRINIC are, IMHO, the greater problem. The oversized staff is just yet another symptom.

I would have expected with this staff strength registry and resource request tickets would have been dealt with in a rapid manner but it is taking over 2-3 days to get feedback. Even worse is the lazy and email delay tactics adopted by hostmasters.
