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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

<div>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?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind Regards,</div>

<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>More to follow ...
