Hi Sunday,
Ok – now we have a problem – let me quote what you said:
"This */_report_/*is intended solely for the information and use of
the audit
committee and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties."
Now, let me quote from the bylaws:
7.6 The Registered Members and Resource Members shall, at Annual
General Members' Meetings or by way of written resolutions, in
addition to the rights conferred by Articles 7.1 and 7.2, have the
right to:
(ii) receive */_any auditor's report_/*;
So – what we have is something that SPECIFICALLY calls itself a report
– and is from the auditors.
Then – we have a clause in the bylaws that says **ANY** auditors
report – NOT the financial audit report – not annual report - **ANY
AUDITORS REPORT**
As such – by my reading of this – the board is now in violation of the
bylaws – clearly – and without apology – in violation of that clause.
Are you SURE this is the stance that the AfriNIC board wants to take?
Andrew
I would like to remind everybody that an “auditor’s report” is a specific type
of report, and “any auditor’s report” means any instance of an auditor’s
report. It does not mean ”any report that originates from an auditor”.
AFRINIC has published any and all auditor’s reports.
AFRINIC’s auditors and AFRINIC’s legal counsel have confirmed that the
management letter is not an auditor’s report, neither is it part of an
auditor’s report, and it is a confidential document.
Some people have implied that there might be something bad in the management
letter. There are suggestions of things that AFRINIC could do better, but if
there was anything bad, then it would appear in the auditor’s report, which has
been published.
Thanks.
Sunday Folayan.
Board Chair.
