<span style="">We are pleased to announce that we have now opened
our e-voting platform for a wide member test. The online voting
process was earlier postponed in order to allow the system to be
further interrogated by the community before using it for real
Board elections.</span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align:

already gone into AFRINIC’s endeavour to integrate the e-voting
system into MyAFRINIC, there is need to subject it to further
tests to ensure it was well understood, sufficiently transparent
and secure to be used in all confidence. The system is now
released in our member portal </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a

test. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align:

e-voting document and participate in the test to ensure the
system works, and that it can contribute to making the election
process transparent and effective. You can look at the
