I disagree with Edrich. The list excludes people with institutional memory of AFRINIC. I would suggest replacing Adewole Ajao (17 or 20 years of Internet experience) with myself, Mark Elkins, an ex-Board Member of six years at AFRINIC, member of the Institute of Directors (SA) as well as serving on other Boards and has 40 years of Internet experience.

I also suspect that for the two non-Geo seats, the top two scoring candidates will fill these seats - there will not be an election for each seat - that does not make sense (I've also been Chair of NomCom more than once...)

Dear Zanoggers!


There has been considerable interest in ZANOG’s position regarding the upcoming AFRINIC board election.  More than ever, this election is crucial — and we strongly encourage every eligible resource member to vote.  As you cast your vote, we urge you to consider which candidates are best equipped to serve the long-term interests of AFRINIC and the broader Internet community.

As a resource holder, ZANOG will be participating in this election.  We have spent significant time to review the candidates to ensure that our choice reflects ZANOG’s values and commitment to a healthy, community-driven Internet ecosystem.

Below is a list of candidates we believe are best positioned to guide AFRINIC through its current challenges and help restore it to a state of operational stability and credibility — so that it may once again fulfil its role in serving the community effectively.

Seat 1 (North Africa) - Abdelaziz Hilali
Seat 2 (West Africa) - Emmanuel Adewale Adedokun
Seat 3 (Indian Ocean) - Kaleem Usmani
Seat 4 (Central Africa) - Laurent Ntumba
Seat 5 (Southern Africa) - Carla Sanderson
Seat 6 (East Africa) - Fiona Asonga
Seat 7 (Non-regional/Independent 1) - Adewole David Ajao
Seat 8 (Non-regional/Independent 2) - Ben Roberts

Kind regards

Edd
