[kictanet] 2015 AFRINIC Board member elections

[Walubengo J]

@Waudo,
Its a transition thing.  Normally, previous board members do not resign but stay in office till the new ones assume the position on 1st week of June - 3-4weeks later.  Just for the avoidance of doubt and clarity, I remain in office to usher in the new director even though my counterpart opted to resign. 

I now Mark has tried to allude to the issues, but they are complicated and perhaps unfair to actually attempt contextualize and recap six months of events leading to the unprecedented resignations in just two sentences.  Furthermore, it may not be necessary and that's why I urged members not to focus on the past but celebrate the future ( I believe its bright) - following the election of the new director Eng. Abibu.

regards.
walu.

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

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.
