[Community-Discuss] Accountability assessment

[Ali Hussein]

All

I actually find some discussions here pretty demeaning and disheartening. Doesn't this list have some basic guidelines regarding decorum and rules of engagement? 

Otherwise we will end up losing focus on why this discussion forum was started in the first place - which I'm presuming is to enhance the Afrinic Community at large and Afrinic as a corporate in particular.
