Hi AFIX community,<br>
<br>
Allow me to restate it: we should not split our <br>
votes! this offer could be taken as an opportunity <br>
to converge and to grant ourselves with a great <br>
way forward for our common AfriNIC; imho!<br>
<br>
...i shall add this: <br>
<br>
Question yourself on the best way to not split our <br>
vote...<br>
<br>
When i'm reading few comments from elsewhere, <br>
i want to enlighten that this work as i see it is a <br>
proof that it's possible to try and reach rough <br>
consensus within Africa; may we want to make <br>
a community effort...<br>
...community leadership should not be taken <br>
as a selfish activity. Can we take it as a way to <br>
pour a bit of the few goodness we may have; <br>
so that we end up with a collective satisfaction, <br>
better service and more voluntary engagement <br>
across the AfriNIC's service region?<br>
<br>
Again, it's important that we put aside personal <br>
agendas; in order to push forward a rejuvenated <br>
AfriNIC.<br>
<br>
"AfriNIC En Avant!"<br>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">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 \u2014 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\u2019s recovery and long-term sustainability:
INX-ZA-endorsed candidates:
\u2022 seat 1 (north africa): abdelaziz hilali
\u2022 seat 2 (west africa): emmanuel adewale adedokun
\u2022 seat 3 (indian ocean): kaleem usmani
\u2022 seat 4 (central africa): laurent ntumba
\u2022 seat 5 (southern africa): carla sanderson
\u2022 seat 6 (east africa): fiona asonga
\u2022 seat 7 (non-regional / independent 1): adewole david ajao
\u2022 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\u2019m happy to answer your questions; either on, or off-list.
\u2014n.
