Dear Members,

 

On 31 August 2020, the Chief Executive Officer of AFRINIC pursuant to Article 3.1.7 of the Governance Committee’s Terms of Reference requested the committee’s assistance as follows:

  1. Examine the text of the code of conduct to determine if updates are needed;
  2. Consider if there are situations that may arise which are not adequately covered in the current text;
  3. Advice on the process through which updates to the text can be made, discussed with the members and community, and finally approved;
  4. Make such other recommendations as the Governance Committee may deem appropriate at https://afrinic.net/govcom/request 

In furtherance of the above, the Governance Committee has at its meeting held on 30 March 2021 decided to engage in a consultation process with its stakeholders which shall be opened from 01 April 2021 to 30 April 2021.

You are hereby invited to share your valuable views and comments in respect of the above at govcom@afrinic.net.
