[kictanet] 2015 AFRINIC Board member elections

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Walu,
While it is important to move forward with gusto, Its equally important to
know where we came from so that we can forge a brighter future.

For example,  what transpired at Nomcom to throw out 6 out of the 8 Eastern
African candidates is of paramount important to the Eastern Africa
community.

Sincerely,
