[AFRI-Discuss] RECORDED / NomCom selection - Nomination of T

Mon Jul 8 21:37:56 UTC 2019

@Peters and Lizzy thanks for highlighting this abnormally.

I'm beginning to think that our intelligence is taken for granted, other wise why would a member of a selection committee come this far and is still allowed to sit on.

This is not about Titi it's about people taking others for granted.

@All, actions like this must not be allowed to happen again. For crying loud we are all not fools
