Re: [Community-Discuss] No Update from AFRINIC HR and Administration since 2015

@Lucky Thanks for the re-assurance. As the matter has become public can we please escalate as quick closure will help us. Let’s assume the board will give us an official position on any actions in the next few days as has been suggested by others in this thread. We are sure that we still

Dear CEO and BOARD, The matter is sensitive and requires the highest standard of care. We expect a statement and a commitment that AfriNIC is a safe working place and an engagement to providing equal employment opportunity to all persons. In addition we expect that there is no retaliation,

@owen Yes what we have is allegations and insinuations. But they are pretty grave allegations that need to be treated delicately. none of us can comment on the content but we are asking for the head of the house to assure us that the smoke is being investigated. Prolonged silence is bad

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

I agree with Badru and I call upon the community to protect CEO and his team. The board is not the face of AFRINIC, CEO Is the face of AFRINIC. The Board can always be voted and created. The Community should not be neglected. ᐧ On Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 1:59 PM, Badru Ntege

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

@Badru I agree it’s not a small matter. However, what the CEO did is correct. He issued a statement. The Board is at the moment conflicted so may not be fair to expect them to respond immediately. Not sure if the Board has a Governance Committee within it. If so then the Chairperson of that

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

While I agree such allegations must be taken seriously and a proper investigation should be conducted, I must say that the texts and other data in the original email contain nothing to substantiate the allegations, but rather appear to be an entirely professional attempt to address a legitimate

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

@Ali This is not a minor issue and thus the reason we are all waiting for our elected Board. Please note elected board, CEO needs to be protected at this moment. If chair cannot comment then one o our other elected board should. That’s what accountability is about. Our organization must be

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

AFRINIC is powered by the community. The allegations where made to the community. The board comes from the community. Lets not underestimate the power of the community. This being a community mailing list, lets respect the fact that Alan has reacted in his capacity as the CEO. Even I myself as a

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

Colleagues As indicated, these are serious allegations. I would encourage the community to not leap to conclusions prematurely. If you have lost your faith in the board then vote for different candidates at the next election. I have not lost my trust in the board, but will need to be assured

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

@Badru Allan is correct in responding. The CEO takes the lead on such issues. The Board can also respond. However I’d like to caution all of us not cast aspersions right now. This is a serious matter that impugns on the organization. The Board is a representation of the community in the

Re: [Community-Discuss] Complaint from staff member

Dear all, As a woman, it was very uncomfortable reading the allegations especially since among allegations are sexual harassment allegations. In light of what is happening worldwide on the same topic, we need to speak out boldly against this. Here's hoping that the right structures are in place
