Dear Colleagues: I welcome the appointment of lawyers but their remit does not go far enough. The lawyers should also monitor all EC members and all APNIC staff as a minimum. It is best practice to appoint truly independent law firms but the law firm selected by APNIC has very close links to senior APNIC legal staff and can’t be considered impartial. One senior member of staff has worked for the appointed law firm for 13 years. APNIC have failed the community once again by having a pretence of governance whilst just allocating a job for the boys within their existing network.
There are serious questions about the whole integrity of the election and APNIC’s impartiality. Truly independent lawyers must now be appointed to scrutinise the actions of APNIC staff in their handling of internal democracy as well as do a full financial and governance audit on the organisation away from the control and influence of staff and other vested interests. -- -- Kind regards. Lu
