[AfrICANN-discuss] Help with .africa history

[Barrack Otieno]

Seun,

My take is simple, it is clear what the community wants, we should stop
casting aspersions and falsehoods that are causing confusion in the
community, instead lets be factual , where credit is due , let us give it
where we need to correct each other lets accept it reciprocally, we should
not expect perfection in a diverse community such as this.

Best Regards
