    <p>Hi Jordi,</p>
    <p>I fully agree with what you say here.</p>
    <p>There are however pending disputes regarding legitimacy of a
      couple of members who could use the specific policy to sidestep
      the issue.  The policy needs to be adjusted to ensure that only
      members who's not only in good standing, but who is fully
      compliant with existing policies and where there are no ongoing
      disputes/court cases etc ... are allowed to transfer out.</p>
    <p>Kind regards,<br>

        What it will be useless and long time consuming is when

                                    <br>
                                    I'm happy this list is becoming more
                                    active, and it is a good thing. <br>
                                    Responding to @Jordi, I must
                                    respectfully differ with Jordi on
                                    point one. While I share the desire
                                    to see pending proposals move
                                    forward, I don't believe board
                                    ratification should be characterized
                                    as "basically an administrative task
                                    that should not take too much time."</div>
                                  <div>
                                    <p>Board ratification is a critical
                                      governance checkpoint where
                                      proposals are reviewed for legal
                                      implications, operational
                                      feasibility, and alignment with
                                      AFRINIC's mission and bylaws.
                                      Given that we're emerging from
                                      three years of limited
                                      functionality as a community, I
                                      believe the Community and the
                                      Board deserve adequate time to
                                      properly review and ratify
                                      proposals, especially those that
                                      may have significant operational
                                      or financial implications for
                                      AFRINIC and its members. Times
                                      have changed in the last three
                                      years and community members have
                                      different views on certain
                                      policies. Rushing this process
                                      could lead to oversights that
                                      create problems down the line.
