Hi AFIX community,

Allow me to restate it: we should not split our
votes! this offer could be taken as an opportunity
to converge and to grant ourselves with a great
way forward for our common AfriNIC; imho!

...i shall add this:

Question yourself on the best way to not split our
vote...

When i'm reading few comments from elsewhere,
i want to enlighten that this work as i see it is a
proof that it's possible to try and reach rough
consensus within Africa; may we want to make
a community effort...
...community leadership should not be taken
as a selfish activity. Can we take it as a way to
pour a bit of the few goodness we may have;
so that we end up with a collective satisfaction,
better service and more voluntary engagement
across the AfriNIC's service region?

Again, it's important that we put aside personal
agendas; in order to push forward a rejuvenated
AfriNIC.

"AfriNIC En Avant!"

Shalom,
--sb.

>> INX-ZA has received many queries about its perspective on the upcoming afrinic board election. this is a pivotal moment for afrinic, and we encourage all eligible members - which means, all the IXPs here - to participate actively by casting their votes.
>>
>> afrinic plays a central role in the stability and governance of the african internet ecosystem. sound leadership is essential — not only for the health of afrinic itself but for the resilience of the networks and communities that depend on it. as a long-standing stakeholder in this ecosystem, INX-ZA believes it is important to support candidates who prioritise operational stability, transparency, accountability, and a commitment to serving the community.
>>
>> after careful consideration and engagement, INX-ZA supports the following candidates in the upcoming board election. we believe they are well-positioned to contribute constructively to afrinic’s recovery and long-term sustainability:
>>
>> INX-ZA-endorsed candidates:
>> 	•	seat 1 (north africa): abdelaziz hilali
>> 	•	seat 2 (west africa): emmanuel adewale adedokun
>> 	•	seat 3 (indian ocean): kaleem usmani
>> 	•	seat 4 (central africa): laurent ntumba
>> 	•	seat 5 (southern africa): carla sanderson
>> 	•	seat 6 (east africa): fiona asonga
>> 	•	seat 7 (non-regional / independent 1): adewole david ajao
>> 	•	seat 8 (non-regional / independent 2): ben roberts
>>
>> we believe these individuals bring a strong mix of community representation, technical competence, and governance experience. their leadership will be critical in helping afrinic return to a functional, community-driven, and respected role within the global internet governance landscape.
>>
>> i’m happy to answer your questions;  either on, or off-list.
