We ended up with this statement because this community is
resilient and survived to the abuse of the AFRINIC PDP by the
authors of the anti-shutdown policy proposal which unfortunately
included a board member who somehow failed to recognise that their
fiduciary duties extended to keeping the PDP on scope and
protecting its credibility.
One would have expected that after the first statement (1), the
board would engage other AF* organisations and create the
appropriate forum for the community to discuss the Internet
shutdown issues and lead this community to concrete outcomes.
But board did not. But even discussion about this on community list
show how immature this community is to discuss issue. we seem more
caught up in 'horrible' Andrew and need to fight anyting he propose
rather than have intelligent thing about what may be possible to do.
Just for the records: AfriNIC Ltd did organize these at AIS '17:
