Thanks Milton. Yes it can be fixed through Bylaws changes to Board appointment and institutional structural reforms. But only if the BOD resolved as such. The alternative would to let them be and Africa's Human Rights civil society organisations distance themselves from AFRICANN/NIC moves.

Well said, Alex. Can this be fixed?

Mailing lists can/are open but effective policy influence is achieved with representation on the policy making table. Their 6-person BOD structure http://www.afrinic.net/en/our-structure/bod  of Eastern Africa(1), Indian Ocean(1), Northern Africa(1), Western Africa(1), Central Africa(1), Southern Africa(1) are business, ccTLDs and government persons. It does not provide for civil society representatives. Or would I be missing one (including on the listed past) BOD members?
