<p>My belief: (What I tried to get when on NomCom)<br>
</p>
<p>Degrees are all well and fine - but you primarily want successful
Leaders. People who have been on other Boards in the ICT world
make sense. (ISPA, Registries, ISP's, ISOC, ICANN and RIRs).
Experience from non-profit boards also makes sense (as AFRINIC is
a non-Profit company in the IT world)<br>
</p>
<p>Candidates should not be too young (that is, still in or just out
of University or still doing their PhD) and have worked for five
years+ in the IT Industry - as well as respected and known by
their local industry. Having chairman, auditor or financial skills
and responsibilities can only help.<br>
</p>
AFRINIC - although non-profit - is still a business. I want a Board
with business experience. <br>

<div>no one expect us to. but we already do that ourselve by
thinking technical academic qualification is more
important for management/board position. Read the CV of
the candidates running - that where the evidence of
standard or no standard is.</div>
