Dear Community,
In my previous communication to the community dated 29th May 2017,
AFRINIC board undertook to further investigate the matter under reference.
During the course of the investigation, statements were obtained from
Prof. Quaynor as well as others who personally witnessed the incident.
Mr Alston, has admittedhaving made the improper remarks, the subject
matter of the incident under reference, in a subsequent apology to the
Board.
Prof Quaynor has equally apprised the Chairman and Vice- Chairman of the
Board that Mr Alstonhas privately apologized to him.
The Board has, after considering the apology tendered, and the nature of
the remarks made, issued a written warning to Mr Alston.
This is for the information of the Community.
Kind Regards,
Sunday Folayan.
Chair, AFRINIC Board.

Dear Community,
The attention of the AFRINIC Board has been drawn to an incident which
occurred in the hall/lobby of the Boma Hotel, on Saturday 27 May 2017,
where AIS 2017 is being held.
It has further been confirmed that a sitting board member was involved
in the said incident in which Dr Nii Quaynor, a senior and respected
member of the African Internet community was allegedly subjected to
verbal molestation and humiliation.
The AFRINIC Board vehemently condemns any inappropriate act that does
not take into consideration the diversity in the community and
acceptable norms within African societies and will not condone such acts.
The above incident is being further investigated and the Community
will be informed of the outcome.
Sunday Folayan
Chair, AFRINIC Board.
