[Community-Discuss] AFRINIC Borad Elections

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

I’m angrier about this as much as I think on it again.

 

Can the board and the staff investigate this?

 

Can all the people that got those emails confirm if they have provided voluntarily their emails or if they have participated in Afrinic lists, or if those emails are part of their Afrinic contacts, in order to understand if this personal data (emails are personal data), have been collected from Afrinic internal databases.

 

Regards,

Jordi

This is really very ugly. Are we really crazy to believe that the community is not able to decide on their own?

 

I’ve seen a similar situation in other regions and this is outside of the code of conduct (written or not), or the elections proccesses. There are several points here:

 

1)      Have the emails of the recipients of this message been legally “acquired”, I mean with a previous and explicit consent, or have they been “collected” from people participating in mail exploders? In many countries, collecting emails from people is against law.

2)      Have the recipients of those emails, authorized explicitly to get “publicity about candidates” ? If not, this is just one more way of spam, again, may be against law in many countries.

3)      Has the elections process authorized to do advertising of candidates outside of the formal processes?

4)      Has the elections process authorized other committee members to use their “position” as a way to convince the community about whom to vote?

 

I think there must be an explicit prohibition for doing all this and if anyone does it, it needs to be possible to punish him/her (and possible the involved candidates) with several years impossibility to be part of board, committees, or participate as candidate in any kind of elections.

Hi Wafa,

 

 

Thanks for your email.

 

I, among other members of AFRINIC in Egypt, received the following email from you many times.

 

I wondered at that time why should I vote for these candidates specially for those in Eastern and Southern regions while each one was the sole candidate in his region. I quote this from your email "Ladies and Gentlemen, in the context of our strategy ...." what is your strategy and who are you ?

 

 

If you are talking about biasing the community, So, do you consider your email as a "member of the appeal committee; ASO / AC excom member and Ex Chair of Governance Committee '(GC) at AFRINIC." fall under what ?

 

I sent this mail many time but I don’t know why I can’t find this mail on community 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ahmed Fadl
