<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""> Hello
Marcus, Kangamutima and the Community,<br class="">
Let me make a clarification.<br class="">
<br class="">
The thinking and intention of the Board is that:<br
class="">
<br class="">
1. Provision 9.2a can be triggered by 9.4 or by the Board
when the need arises, without waiting six months for a
community meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
2. Such an action is indeed an emergency action. Such an
action requires a super majority of the board as noted in
9.2a and 1 above. <br class="">
<br class="">
3. The Board is happy to make it 3/4 i.e. 7 members,
instead of the current super-majority of 2/3 i.e. 6
members, if there is no objection or other view on the
required majority from the community.<br class="">
<br class="">
There is nothing inappropriate about such a provision.
Indeed, the Board (elected by the same community, acting
on behalf of the community) approves policies made by the
Community, on behalf of the community.<br class="">

Well… Not quite true, there Sunday.</div>
<div><br class="">

<div>The board is elected by the AfriNIC voting members. The ASO
AC is elected by a far larger community (or at least a far
larger community is eligible to participate in the election
should they choose to do so).</div>

For the intention, If we want to be very specific, then the board is
elected by voting members who are a subset of the larger community.
<br>
<br>
The Board is also a part of the community.<br>
