Hi Willy, Just to correct one thing - there is no obligation to state affiliation in the context of the PDP - in fact anyone is free to state an opinion that is entirely their own.
Personally I believe that people should declare their affiliations - it’s just not required, and actually when I have on at least two occasions state the organizations who I am making statements on behalf of - I was told that individuals don’t represent organizations on the floor of the pdp and it was immaterial and I should not do that.

The most important here is : if the organization has a fellowship program or kind of, I suggested to publish it on their website with details (announcements, requirements, results,...). AFRINIC, ICANN fellowship program for instance have dedicated pages on their respective websites. A fellow is bound to some rules put in place by the organization during a specific timeline. Outside fellowship program, it's another story. But I remind you that when you participate in a debate during face-to-face meeting (either on microphone or remotely), you must clearly state your name and your affiliation. Even here on mailing-list it could be a good practice if you use an email address according to your affiliation. Especially if you send messages from your corporate email , it should mean you speak on behalf of that particular organization. When it's not a corporate email, it depends :) -- Willy Manga @ongolaboy https://ongola.blogspot.com/<https://ongola.blogspot.com/>
