As per the elections guidelines, I would like to announce the results of the just-concluded elections. The following are the results of the elections:

  • Governance Committee: Simon Msafiri Balthazar to serve a three-year term

Congratulations to the successful candidates elected to serve in various capacities. We wish you well as you serve our community and the organisation.

AFRINIC members and the community are hereby informed that electronic voting is now open for the AFRINIC Board and Governance Committee elections. Both services are accessible through the MyAFRINIC portal to AFRINIC members in good standing.

Members will be able to vote and use the electronic voting provision via the MyAFRINIC portal.

The Candidate Slate for both elections is available at:

Governance Committee: https://www.afrinic.net/participate/election-process/govcom-candidates-slate-2021 

 

Electronic Voting

Only a registered administrative contact of your organization can vote electronically. The admin-contact can also assign the voting right (through MyAFRINIC) to another registered contact.

How to vote

Eligible voters are reminded that since the AGMM is being held virtually, all voting will de-facto be held electronically.

Members can cast their votes through their ‘registered contact’ (also known as ‘Administrative Contact’) or by proxy.

Online Voting (e-voting)

If you are the registered Administrative Contact of your organisation, you have been assigned by default the voting right which grants you the privilege to cast your vote electronically. You could also assign that right (through MyAFRINIC) to another registered contact of your organisation to vote on your behalf.

To vote electronically, please follow the following steps:

a. Log on to MyAFRINIC at https://my.afrinic.net/login;
b. Navigate to ‘Election’ and ‘Access Election Centre’;
c. Select the election in which you wish to participate;
d. Choose the option ‘Vote Online’.

To assign the online voting right to another registered contact of your organisation:

a. Log on to MyAFRINIC at https://my.afrinic.net/login ;
b. Navigate to ‘My Account' and ‘User Administration’;
c. Check the ‘Voter Role’ to a corresponding listed contact

Electronic voting will be closed during the AGMM on 4 June 2021 at (10:40 UTC). The proxy appointment will close 5 days prior to the elections on 29 May 2021.
