I get your point now. It's clearer to me and it makes perfect sense. > A fellow is bound to some rules put in place by the organization during > a specific timeline. > Yes, indeed. > 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. > Yes. In fact, that was one of the basic rules instructed by the AFRINIC fellowship team, to state the affiliation. I did miss a few times on the microphone between saying La Sentinelle (the company I work for) and stating that I am an AFRINIC fellow. > Even here on mailing-list it could be a good practice if you use an > email address according to your affiliation.

During the meeting though I asked a question to the board members regarding speakers who stated "speaking in my personal capacity" before they took the mic. I wondered whether their respective organizations had a policy/rule on what they could say in such meetings. I also wondered whether such disclaimers are just informational or they hold a legal value. However, coming back to the topic of non-AFRINIC Fellowship that actually sponsors universities, the students could end up stating their affiliation to the university and not to the sponsoring organization; the same with the organization name on their attendee badge and other registration info.
