[Community-Discuss] Allegation of Harassment

[Mirriam]

 Gabriella,
Sorry but I will quote below part of Sundays email.
--------------"While I categorically deny any claims of any harassment levied at me,  and believe these allegations are entirely spurious, ---------------
But then there are screen shots of late night awkward chats and staff seems to find a way out of the situation...
---------------I do acknowledge  that I shared a chat (with the best intentions) which should have been treated with more caution, no matter how good the intention was.------------------
Did you skip the above parts of Sunday's mail?
My dear, unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that is offensive and unreasonably interfere with an employee's job performance or create an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment is not acceptable and had far reaching consequences for the organization which is why we are all finding ourselves in this rather sensitive situation.
Let's call a spade a spade...

 Mr. Chairman,


This is an honorable decision, and a commendable move. 

Since you say the claims are not true, I pray you will be vindicated of all
this - with all due respect.


Gabriella.

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Allegation of Harassment

Dear members and the Community,

Over the last few days, some allegations have been made that are serious and
by very nature threaten to further divide this community and represent a
threat to the AfriNIC organization.

I believe the unity of the community is as important as the sanctity of the
Board, and it is my responsibility to ensure none is compromised further.

While I categorically deny any claims of any harassment levied at me, and
believe these allegations are entirely spurious, I do acknowledge that I
shared a chat (with the best intentions) which should have been treated with
more caution, no matter how good the intention was.

It is my responsibility to step down as Chair, pending the conclusion of the
investigations on the harassment claims.

May I most respectfully request that we await the independent investigation
that the Board has initiated, and be patient, so that the community can come
out of this strongest. I remain committed as a member of the community.

I have prior to now, communicated my decision to my colleagues on the Board.

I look forward to being allowed to defend myself, and justice being served
for all, on the matter.

With Kind Regards ....

Sunday Folayan.
