For reasons that may or may not be self-evident I am not commenting on the legality of the upcoming election nor what flows from potential hiccups that arise. I wish the candidates luck, and can say I am impressed with most of the slate which is advanced as a community candidate list - there are some very good people on that list and at least one candidate not on the list who is certainly fit and proper.
But Andrew's comment can't go without a bit of a chime in. There is at least one issue which Mars doesn't have which Africa does and unless you can get a means to transport that problem from Tanzania to Mars I am afraid that Mars despite having a bad atmosphere has at least one major issue less than than Africa.

Hi folks
There will always appear to be problems as long as there are people that disagree with our personal viewpoint....
On that subject - why is ZANOG suggesting non-South Africans for seat 9 whilst I am standing for that seat. Don't we want a little more influence on the AFRINIC Board. Please vote for me for seat 8.
I am an ex-AFRINIC Board Member (the board needs some history), the re-creator of CO.ZA, DNS Trainer, part of the DNS Study of Africa, Part of the ICANN DNSSEC & Security management, local ISOC Board - etc. I run an ISP, am a Registrar and Registry operator of EDU.ZA On 10/09/2025 08:25, Noah via zanog-discuss wrote:
