Dear Barack,

Please stop the preaching as we are not in the church house and let the right thing be done. We are all aware of the problems on the continent. 

If Mohammed is in the process of restoring order on the mailing list, then all well and good.

It takes one to detect a mistake, and one to correct it. So there………!

Dear Paulyn,

Many thanks for your email. 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

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.

Best Regards

Mohammed,

Are you not doing exactly what you are accusing others of? How did you arrive at the conclusion that someone’s opinion is baseless? Who made it baseless? YOU???

Dear All, 

AfRALO is a diverse community, certainly we will have different, opposing views and disagreements on policies, issues, and procedures, it's normal and healthy but It's concerning and sad to see the inflammatory emails exchange in the mailing list while any views can be expressed calmly and objectively.

The language of the recently exchanged emails in different topics in then mailing list could have been more reasonable and informed without personal attacks and baseless accusations.

We do require all our community members to adhere to ICANN’s Expected Standard of Behavior guidelines available here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/expected-standards-2012-05-15-en  

I recall a west African proverb that says: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far :-) , we can disagree, we can make mistakes but Lets respect each other and let's go far together.

Thank you 

Best Regards,

Mohamed Elbashir

AfRALO Chair
