If you need a lorry to go up hill and 10 people you got can't do it - you hire a tow truck driven by one person - tow it up the hill - and you do not have the other 9 people hanging around acting as cheerleaders - that would be a pointless waste of resources.</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Dear Members,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Not to sound sarcastic and negative but I believe the current AFRINIC staff count of 51 (<a href="https://afrinic.net/staff" target="_blank" class="">https://afrinic.net/staff</a>) is too many. I would have expected
with this staff strength registry and resource request tickets would have been dealt with in a rapid manner but it is taking over 2-3 days to get feedback. Even worse is the lazy and email delay tactics adopted by hostmasters.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I believe the staff should be reduced by 50%. Why cant a maximum of 25 staff handle the day to day activities of AFRINIC to reduce operational costs. I am beginning to believe certain roles / posts have been created for staff who would have otherwise become
redundant but are being kept at post.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My personal opinion though.</div>
