Actually these questions and answers are rather interesting. We weren’t allowed to ask them at the AGMM, so I guess now is the time.
I am intrigued to see how much money is given to organisations that don’t seem to have accountability what they get.

I guess I am reacting to your flippant disregard for AFRINIC origins and your attempt to disparage those that have worked to get us here.

And I will continue to ask – especially when an event is being held that is being paid for that is not on any event calendar. I have not suggested you do not have the right to question. I have queried their nature and more importantly the availability of the CEO to respond question by question. While I realize that the organisation you work for – got their space on the back of a grant and didn’t even pay the allocation fee or the first few years of having it – and you are a small member – so its tiny amounts of money – others of us – actually would like to know where our cash is being spent to guide other decisions. I am a small member who does not expect this level of micromanagement from a CEO.

That sounds plausible, though it's more likely to be 4 people, not 5.
