John,

I’ve given many suggestions – so far – they have been ignored.

But – this one is easy – find someone else to act who is not a Mauritian 
citizen and follow the bylaws which were ratified by this member base?  
Including the section about not sharing the position – which was voted in by 
special resolution in Mauritius with a super majority vote?

Ok.   I knew I was missing something...or something was brewing ;-)

So Andrew, since you are so good at the defining problems, why not give us some 
suggested solutions ;-)

How does that gel with clause 17.3 of the bylaws that state that the CEO’s 
position must be held by a non-Mauritian and with the resolution that was 
passed in November of 2015 which explicitly demand that a CFO be in existence 
because it requires the signature of a CFO to access certain bank accounts?

I’ve also seen some arguments about the  acting part of this – unfortunately 
the bylaws do not state anything about permanence – in the case of 17.3 it 
states that nationals of the country hosting the headquarters shall be 
ineligible for the appointment to the office of Chief Executive Officer.  That 
does not limit this to a permanent appointment, and therefore includes a 
temporary appointment to the position.

The same goes for clause 15.6 of the bylaws – which is the one they get around 
by not having a CFO – but that does not release the obligations in 17.3

Thanks

Andrew

Replying to myself to make sure that all relevant information is shared fairly 
within this community: one of the board members has informed me off-list that 
nobody will take over the CFO role, and there will therefore not be a CFO while 
Mr Deesse takes the role of interim CEO.

Cheers,
Sander
