Dear Chairman Abibu,
Thank you very much for the update to members and the Community.
The finding "That the Investigation Committee (IC) is satisfied that
there was no evidence of harassment, bullying or intimidation by Board
members" a bit consoling, but also troubling because the release is a
summary.The staff petition and allegations was not even about NDA
violation by Sunday Folayan.
Kindly take note of the following:
1. The petitioner specifically mentioned "Sunday Folayan, Haitham
El-Nakhal and other Board members". Why summarize the findings as "...
by Board members?", knowing that Sunday Folayan is no more a Board
member? Why not clear the accused outrightly and not in veiled
statements. The statement on the NDA violation is very clear.
2 An accusation was made. Marriages and careers could have been
destroyed, if not for some few people (Gabriella, Owen DeLong, Olutayo,
Chivelier and Ben Roberts) that saw through the charade. Where is justice?
Injustice does not come in any different form. Some day, more truths
will surface, and it will not be because of privacy issues.
I trust the membership and community will learn from this saga, and
allow the healing process take place.
Let us give peace a chance for some sacrifices to be worthwhile. AFRINIC
will wax stronger, this I know.
I am now done, I will hold my peace.
Sunday.

Dear Afrinic Community,
The Board in March 2018, as per resolution 201803.391, tasked the
Governance Committee (GC) to convene an investigation on allegations
made by a staff member. The GC was requested to define the Terms of
Reference (TORs) for an independent investigation, and to appoint an
investigation committee. The Board requested the findings to be
reported by 30 April 2018.
The GC notified the community that they would deliver the report by 4
May 2018, and has submitted the report to the Board on 2 May 2018. The
Board acknowledged receipt of the report. The Board is going to
thoroughly consider the report and recommendations thereof, and will
share with the community applicable actions and steps that will be
taken in due course.
The Board has also been advised that in considering the report they
need to be cognizant of issues of confidentiality and data protection.
With regards to allegations made against certain Board members, the
Board can announce the following outcomes as derived from the report:
*
That there was a violation of the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
and section 153 of the Companies Act 2001, by Mr Sunday Folayan.
*
That there is no evidence whatsoever against Haitham El Nakhal of
having breached the terms of the NDA and/or section 153 of the
Companies Act 2001.
*
That the Investigation Committee (IC) is satisfied that there was
no evidence of harassment, bullying or intimidation by Board members.
The Board will re-evaluate the interim Chair and Vice Chair
appointments that were made in resolution 201803.398.
With regards to allegations made against certain members of staff, the
Board observed from the IC report that there may have been
inappropriate behaviour on the part of certain staff members.
The findings and recommendations related to staff matters will be
addressed through necessary processes.
We appeal to the community to allow the Board time to consider the
report carefully, and provide feedback to the community no later than
31 July 2018 on the next steps and how the recommendations will be
implemented.
Kind regards
----
Abibu R. Ntahigiye
Chair, Afrinic Board.
