Dear listers, Please see below a message from AFRINIC's CEO Adiel Akplogan on the New Draft of Bylaws that have just been published at http://www.slideshare.net/AfriNIC/new-afrinic-bylaws-draft-v07. Please read the message below and send your comments by 9 November 2012. We appreciate your support. George Dear colleagues, A few months ago we started the review of our Bylaws with a first draft published in June 2012 for comments. We committed to look into all the comments received and integrate them into a new draft that will be published for a last comment period before the Board ratifies the final text. I'm pleased to inform you that the Bylaws Review Working Group has now published a new draft at: http://www.slideshare.net/AfriNIC/new-afrinic-bylaws-draft-v07 This version will be open for a 15 day comments period. You can send your comments to bylaws-comment@afrinic.net until 09 November 2012. It took a little more time than planned to work on the new text so we have revisited the original timeline published few weeks ago as follows: 25 October 2012: Publication of new version of the bylaws 09 November 2012: Close of Last comment period 12-19 November 2012: Review of last comments by review WG 20-25 November 2012: Final review and Ratification by the Board You can still consult the comments received during the first draft comment period at: http://afrinic.net/images/stories/Library/news-pub/by_com.pdf We look forward to your contributions to this important process for AFRINIC’s structure. Thank you. __________________________________________________________________________ Adiel A.
