<div>Well Akeem lets wait for the response from the Chairman to the questions asked in my earlier post.<br>
<br>
</div>
As it stands there is no distinction in bylaws regarding interim, acting or substantive CEO appointment with respect to article 17.3 of the By-laws.<br>
<br>
</div>
Appointment of a national of the country hosting AFRINIC headquarters as CEO be it interim or acting is outrightly against the By-Laws. There is a reason why article 17.3<br>
<br>
</div>
There situation even gets further murky when the legal council to AFRINIC which advises on the interpretation and of the By-Laws is also a national of the country hosting AFRINIC which exposes a conflict of interest.<br>
<br>
</div>
If the appointed interim CEO is in contradiction of the By-Laws the board of directors should proceed to do the necessary correction.<br>
<br>
</div>

Congratulations Mr. Patrisse. I also congratulate the Board for the steps taken so far for appointing an interim CEO for AfriNIC. I want to believe alot of criteria must have considered before choosing Mr. Patrisse.
<br>
<br>
However, the issues of Nationality and protocols for the appointment of an interim CEO should be address now for the future. What does AFRINIC Bylaws say about this?<br>

Prior to working at AFRINIC, his previous work experience extends over<br>
30 years at a large international conglomerate in Malawi (one of the<br>

several senior managerial positions, including Head Office Accountant<br>

<br>
Dear Mr. Chairman <br>
<br>
Thank you for the update and congratulations to Patrisse for assuming the interim CEO role.
<br>
<br>
What is the nationality of Mr. Patrisse Deesse? Is he a national of Malawi? <br>
<br>
I would however like clarification of article 17.3 of the AFRINIC Bylaws which states;
<br>
<br>
"The nationals of the country hosting the headquarters of AFRINIC shall be ineligible for appointment to the office of Chief Executive Officer"
<br>
<br>
The current by-laws does not currently define clearly the protocols of appointing an interim CEO so what framework is currently used to appoint interim CEO?
<br>
<br>
Could persons appointed to interim CEO include nationals of the country hosting the headquarters of AFRINIC?
<br>
<br>
Thank you <br>
<br>
