Board Chair, AFRINIC,<br>
<br>
The Appeal Committee (AC) held its scheduled meeting on Thursday, 18 Feb 2021, online <br>
where it also considered on it agenda your e-mail sent to individual Appeal Committee <br>
members as copied here below.<br>
<br>
As you will see in the AC minutes soon to be published, the quorate meeting was chaired by <br>
Adam Nelson and I was asked to send you a reply to your e-mails.<br>
<br>
The Committee noted in its terms of reference (ToR) that the AFRINIC Board has the right to <br>
replace any or all Appeal Committee members subject to ToR Section 3.3.1 among others, <br>
see <a href="https://afrinic.net/policy/appeal-committee#tor" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://afrinic.net/policy/appeal-committee#tor</a><br>
<br>
However the Committee observed in Section 3.3.4 of the ToR that:<br>
"3.3.4. In the event that an appeal is in progress at a time when the Board considers <br>
replacement of any or all Appeal Committee members, then the Board should delay any such <br>
replacement until such time as there is no appeal in progress; except that, if there continue to <br>
be appeals in progress after six(6) months, then the Board shall not delay any longer."<br>
<br>
The Committee then agreed to finalise processing the appeal that was in progress after <br>
which the Committee agreed to await further direction from the Board.<br>
<br>
Here then attached, for your copy, is the finalised Appeal Committee report on the policy <br>
compliance dashboard proposal AFPUB-2020-GEN-001-DRAFT01 that the Appeal <br>
Committee has now finalised and has already submitted to the PDWG through the RPD <br>
mailing list as its ToR require.<br>
<br>
The Appeal Committee would like to bring to your attention that there are two appeals also in <br>
progress as listed in the AC timeline <a href="https://afrinic.net/policy/appeal-committee#appeals" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://afrinic.net/policy/appeal-committee#appeals</a> that <br>
are subject to ToR Section 3.3.4 and hence the AC awaits further directions from the PDWG <br>
and/or the Board.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Dr Paulos B Nyirenda<br>
AFRINIC Appeal Committee Member<br>

Dear Dr Nyirenda,<br>
<br>
We refer to the two recent resignations from the Appeal Committee.<br>
<br>
AFRINIC stands legally advised that in line with the AFRINIC Policy<br>
Development Appeal Committee Terms of Reference, Version 2 (2017),<br>
the Appeal Committee is a committee made up of five members.<br>
<br>
Since the committee is no longer properly constituted, the remaining<br>
members cannot continue with their work until the committee is<br>
re-constituted by the AFRINIC Board of Directors.<br>
<br>
We thank you for your understanding and your usual collaboration.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
S. Moonesamy<br>
