Afrinic yesterday give out that /12.<br>
<br>
Here my take on Markus inputs:<br>
<br>
By Laws have the following as some of powers of Afrinic Board<br>
<br>
15.1.ii Supervising the management of the business and affairs of<br>
the Company.<br>
15.3.i Determine the guidelines for the allocation of address space<br>
to members in line with the member driven PDP<br>
<br>
15.1.ii give board supervisory authority of all Afrinic business. I<br>
dont see why Board now come out and say they dont get involved in IP<br>
allocation affairs YET THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT business of Afrinic!<br>
Have board read these by law or have Afrinic legal staffs educated<br>
board of the responsibility give to them by these by-law?<br>
<br>
Separately may I point 6.1.i of by law which say Afrinic to give IPs<br>
to companies geographically based within, and providing services in<br>
the Africa. Does Afrinic enforce this clause?<br>
<br>
