[Community-Discuss] Allegation of Harassment

Wed Mar 21 11:32:32 UTC 2018

Dear Sunday

My two cent as member of this community 
As much as we can wait for the investigation committe to deal with issues of harassment,  Am more concerned about you ,while as the board of director and chairman, used your position to share private board discussion ref: Afrinic business with a junior female member of staff in Afrinic. You sent her messages and you have since admitted to this fact.
This is a Violation of the NDA.
Dont attempt to cover up the fact that you violated the NDA that you yourself signed. 
Kindly step down from the board end of story 

regards
barry

So the justice line of "Innocent until proven guilty: shall apply here in the meantime" for justice must prevail.

You sharing what a sus-section of the board have discussed in terms of the human resources of the organisation with "Nadage" knowing very well that you had also discussed the same issue privately with the CEO and then you go ahead and share such chats with Nadage is completely out of order and undermined the CEO.
