@Mark, @Mwendwa I would rather we do not focus too much on what the Nomination Committee did or did not do. However, I would say that whatever they did, it eventually gave us, and for the first time an AfriNIC, East African representative from Tanzania. I think we can only join hands and congratulate Eng. Abibu Rashid Ntaghigiye for his resounding victory and as a an outgoing regional AfriNIC representative, I know the region has made the best decision and we shall are ably represented. Hongera! Eng. Abibu Rashid Ntaghigiye. walu.

Paulos stepped down because he violated the Boards NDA - rather, he was encouraged by the Board Chair - with pressure from the floor. Same thing for Badru... who purposely violated the NDA (words from his mouth). Both, of course - were re-standing.... :-) Neither made it back. During this week, the NomCom Mailing list was discovered to be unprotected. It was marked "Public" and anyone could subscribe and download the archive. There are complete copies of the archive in the wild. Getting access to this may explain what went on within NomCom as to why folk like John Walu were excluded by NomCom. Maybe John has a copy?

Thanks for the report Kivuva. The impression is that the election for E.A. rep was as a result of Ntege's "sensational resignation"; was not the position already open? Kind Regards, Waudo On Fri, Jun 5, 2015, at 04:15 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet wrote:
In the AFRINIC22 meeting that was held in Tunis, Tunisia, two Boards seats for Eastern and Southern Africa were up for elections. Abibu Rashid Ntaghigiye of Tanzania was elected to the AFRINIC Board representing the Eastern African region defeating the only other candidate Badru Ntege of Uganda who had sensationally resigned from the Board minutes earlier before the elections after falling out with other Board members. Lucky Masilela was elected to the AFRINIC Board representing the Southern African region defeated a crowded field of 6 candidates replacing Mark Elkins and Dr. Paulos Nyirenda. NomCom was at pains to explain to the community how it reduced the East African candidates from 8 to 2 instead of letting the community choose its own representatives through the ballot. It should be noted several Kenyan candidates were disqualified by nomcom. The community expressed it's displeasure on this. All alternate board members whose terms were due for renewal left the board after it was resolved that the size of the board should be reduced.
