Re: [apnic-talk] APNIC EC Election Review Panel
This is a well respected decision taken by the apnic ec. here are
my responses
one member one vote to have fair and equitable.
fixed term for an ec member of 3years. after this fixed term ec
member is not to be eligible for the post for life.
equal representation across asia pacific region.
at the same time, i strongly recommend to make the apnic director
general post a fixed term. a director general can only serve apnic
for maximum 5years with no extension.
apnic require a change in top order to move forward with fresh and
new strategies. for example, apnic meeting in mid year of no value
to its members but apnic continues to provide it. it is a waste of
members fees. apnic meeting should only be once a year along with
apricot.
members are there to fund luxuriuos travel of director general.
apnic is a not for profit body and it is responsible to manage its
finances with in the means. i suggest apnic ec take more control of
the day to day activities of apnic and put a new director general
in place for every 5 years so this position do not abuse members
funds for personal luxury.
