I don’t think that’s an accountability issue. Even in the unlikely event that there are four from the same sub-region (regional director, two non-regional directors, and CEO), and that the four conspire together to advance some sort of sub-regional interest that’s against AFRINIC’s interest, the four would still not form a majority of the Board. Instead of legislating geographical diversity in the Bylaws, I would prefer to rely on the membership to consider all kinds of diversity when voting. Remember that Bylaws changes need a 75% majority. Would adding geographical restrictions to the non-geographical seats have enough support to pass?
