Re: [Community-Discuss] NomCom Chairs Private Message

[Augustine CHII Ngek]

Hello
Is it ok for a nomcom chair to solucitate candidates from his country or
region whether they were to stand for elections or not?  It is just normal
for the nomcom to clear the air and we forge ahead without any frustrating
anyone.

[Augustine CHII Ngek]

Dear All,
A lot of ink has flown concerning this issue, let AFRINIC takes her
responsibilities meanwhile the community should take cognizance of the
facts so that we can move ahead. We can only put measures to avert this
next time and or put to task what they have been voted to do.

Re: [Community-Discuss] Larus foundation fellowship

[Augustine CHII Ngek]

Hi everyone, hello Wafa
I am happy you have brought these resources to people like myself new to
AFRINIC business. Thanks so much for the educational materials. A lot of
talking goes on here but I am sure some people can talk now with
understanding.

To me for whatever reason the fellowship was for, the provision of these
materials surpasses it all. Teach the community or do something to the
community and you can get the community's support in any matter that come
up.

We shall judge you who came into the board by what you shall do to make
AFRINIC stronger against what is suspected. We are interested at
discussions that will push AFRINIC forward. People have been voted into
board so discussions concerning what the community wants AFRINIC to be at
the end of their mandate should start now. Please let the discussion about
people end, yes education for the next African leaders!

Good day internet lovers,
I have followed discussions in this forum for sometimes now and have
reaffirmed our diversity and  believe that it can be used possitively. So
much  bad and or good have been poured and written, we the silent listener
think that one of you accused or not can sail through turbelent water and
create history that live after you that in difficult times I stood the test
of time and rescued Africa from disgrace. You can stand counted when
children shall learn you or me positively tomorrow. Let's put our heads
together. We deserve more, Africa deserve more please  make it happen here
and now. Afrinic you are our child, we shall beat you, keep you, admonish
and leave you for a generation yet unborn.
Alan, Warwick, Mark, Marcus, Andrew Alston, Ali, Badru, Robert, Daniel,
Benjamin ledoh, Anne-Vivien, John Walu, Taiwo and more, AFRINIC is in your
hands, it should move forward with all intelligence and technical know how
great and mighty. Remain blessed.
