My take will be, we outline clearly the issues with the current election procedures and then fine tune them, taking into consideration our cultural biases. Coping or adopting the procedures of other registries in this case is not feasible.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Simply,</div><div dir="auto">Daniel</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for raising the above point.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We keep telling our colleagues from other RIR regions, that while we value their contribution to the community, they should avoid trying to be kings (the know it all) here in our region and always imposing stuff on us, since we know better the environment and the needs.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Those who are constantly trying to solve our challenges their ways are the 1st ones to say... “ I proposed the same policy in other regions and it reached consensus in X and Y region”. </div><div dir="auto">And later on, they say, this works in X or Y region but can’t work in Africa. Can you imagine this level of deeming.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>As for the elections process, I recall and the videos are available on how people clap for you when you commented on how problematic, the proposed online voting can be in Africa.
