I don't believe limiting number of proxies per individual will change<br>
anything. I'm of the opinion we limit voting per zones i.e. If we are<br>
electing board members from North, then we let Afrinic members from<br>
North select who they want to represent them. Lets eliminate such<br>
situations where West Africans are represented by a member whose<br>
majority of his/her votes comes from South.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Unfortunately for this, it would mean, Countries with more LIR's or rather Afrinic members than the others, would stand the better chance of re-electing individuals from their respective countries elections-after-elections.<br>
<br>A case for instance of a candidate from say Boswana competing with one from .za for the Southern African Region OR .ke vs .rw for the East African Region.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
