I think it is quite chicken to direct replies to an anonymizing emailer. I 
have, therefore overridden the reply-to set on the original message.

She has? What evidence do you have to support this claim? There’s nothing in 
the texts that says so.

There is just an allegation.

Again, do you have any evidence to support these allegations? I’m not saying 
they are or are not true, merely asking for evidence to support your 
accusations.

Again, where is the proof to back up this allegation? What evidence do you have 
to support it?

OK, do you allege that they should not have been fired? It seems to me that 
there were some in need of firing.

So you’re saying that it is the job of HR to avoid a company firing anyone? 
This is completely illogical.

This doesn’t exactly differ from how any other company is run, so I’m not sure 
what you are attempting to allege here.

As a general practice, most HR matters are considered confidential between the 
company and the employee and the information you describe above is generally 
not disclosed out of respect for the employees’ privacy.

Yes. This is true. However, do you have any specific areas where you feel this 
is not the case? Do you have specific actionable complaints about the conduct 
of the CEO with evidence to back them up? If so, then make your case with 
facts. The above speculative innuendo and accusations do not as yet have any 
supporting evidence and are vague and useless in terms of any corrective action 
which may be taken.

Again, some evidence to support this would be useful.

Are you saying that the AfriNIC head of IT is responsible for the running of 
the hotel network during an AfriNIC meeting? In my experience, AfriNIC IT has 
little to no control over hotel networks at meeting venues. It is true that 
AfriNIC usually brings in connectivity from a local sponsor for the actual 
conference network, but that’s usually only in the meeting areas and not the 
hotel rooms. Even then, it is primarily the local sponsor and the meeting team 
which are involved in delivering that connectivity and not the head of AfriNIC 
IT.

Most AfriNIC meetings I have attended have delivered reasonably good 
connectivity. Kigali was a notable exception, but at the time of the Kigali 
meeting, connectivity in Rwanda in general was pretty marginal and I think the 
team did the best they could with what they had available. The last meeting I 
attended was in Nairobi and I remember the connectivity there being quite good 
at the meeting site. I wasn’t able to attend the Lagos meeting, so I can’t 
speak directly to the connectivity for that event.

Once again, with vague accusations and allegations. No evidence, no specific 
action items (other than a call to replace the head of IT without any specific 
complaints to back it up).

It is this kind of stirring of the pot in lieu of meritorious issue-based 
factual attempts to improve AfriNIC which is most damaging to the AfriNIC 
culture and to the community at large.

I’m not saying there are not problems to solve at AfriNIC. Indeed, I think 
there are several. However, I try to avoid making vague accusations and instead 
focus on constructive suggestions. May I humbly suggest you consider doing the 
same.
