[Community-Discuss] [members-discuss] AFRINIC Update 23rd November 2015

You obviously have a limited understanding of the history. Lusaka was my first board and the results being reported were for a budget I inherited.  For decisions made by a previous board with the best of intentions. 

If you read clearly my emails which I'm sure you have not you will see that half if not the majority of your email with all due respect is baseless. 

I will thus not continue on personalisation since I do not recall any personalisation.  Please go back and read all the emails very slowly. I have utmost respect for the individuals but does not mean you cannot point out what is wrong. 

Your email is exactly the problem. Afrinic does not belong to any of us we will come and go and others will continue but when you think you cannot separate individual from the roles they do then we end up accepting everything for fear of hurting people's feelings. 

Just take your time and read all the emails please the comment.
