As per the bylaw there are actually no director at the moment for AFRINIC since they already served their respective "indicative" terms. I was a strong proponent that the stargardness of the seat could be fixed even with this current election but nomcom seem to believe otherwise which is okay.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I also find the idea of NOMCOM regionalising nomination process to be strange and uncalled for because on the Board there is no regionalisation. However, since the bylaw allows them to determine election/nomination guidelines, and the idea is not actually destructive, I can live with that so that we can move forward. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Unless there are other "devil in the details" that I am not aware of but so long as the current process of nomination and election is transparent enough and makes sense, I believe we should proceed. I expect that the new board once constituted will call for sgmm or AGMM as the case may be to address any outstanding issues especially that of term Staggering. We cannot continue to go in circles, the world may soon get tired of our nagging!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Cheers,</div><b>Noah Maina</b></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 4:17 PM AFRINIC Communication via Announce <<a href="mailto:announce@afrinic.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">announce@afrinic.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p><b>AFRICAN NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE (AfriNIC) Ltd (In Receivership)</b>, previously represented by the Official Receiver and having its registered office at 11th Floor, Standard Chartered Tower, Ebene, Mauritius (the Company)</p><p>I, Mr. Gowtamsingh DABEE ACA FCCA ADIT MBA, a registered insolvency practitioner, of GD RICHES Chartered Accountant 5th Floor Green Cross Building Belle Rose Quatre Bornes, give notice that on 12th February 2025 at 1430, I have been appointed Receiver of the above Company in lieu and instead of the <span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)">Official Receiver pursuant to a Court Order issued by the Bankruptcy Division of the Supreme Court in application bearing cause number SC/COM/MOT/000082/2025 having as aim mandate to secure the assets of the Company <b><u>and to see to it that the Company’s board is reconstituted in accordance with its Bylaws. </u></b> </span></p><p>Gowtamsingh Dabee</p><p>Registered Insolvency Practitioner </p><p>Tel:52579194 </p><p>E: <a href="mailto:gdabee@gdriches.mu%C2%A0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">gdabee@gdriches.mu </a></p><p>This 14th February 2025</p></div>_______________________________________________<br>
