However the tone is not right. Mohammed is the AFRALO Chair and he is in the process of restoring order on the mailing list. I think we should address him with respect. This goes to any other leaders we elect in the RALO or ALAC. That said i am cognisant of the fact that this is a personal choice</div><div dir="auto">May i start by saying that mistakes are a part of life. When they are made and are pointed out we should not dwell on them. I beleive Dave made a choice and it should be respected. If he made a mistake there is a process to address that. I equally know Dave as a very resourcefull member of AFRALO and ALAC over and above his previous role on the nominating Commitee. Titi is equally a respected member in the African Internet Community regardless of what we may feel about her candidature. What is the point of tearing each other apart in the name of contesting for positions and affecting how we relate with each other? Is thos position more important than harmony and sanity in the RALO? We have much to do in Africa, a continent with 1 Billion plus people yet only 450 Million can access the Internet. Out of the 450 million we boast of less than 1.6 Million Domain Names across all TLDs. Colleagues this are the issues we should be passionate about. I join Otunte un asking for calm. Beyond thos positions which are term limited we need each other.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best Regards</div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 9 Jul 2019, 2:27 pm Paulyn Jansen, <<a href="mailto:jansen@ayf.de">jansen@ayf.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="DE" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space"><div class="m_8230484442521722114WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Mohammed,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Are you not doing exactly what you are accusing others of?
