[Community-Discuss] AFRINIC Borad Elections

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Sami,

 

My point here is that the campaigns need to be done *only* in a neutral way, not by board or committee members, not by staff, and only to people that you *already* know. So, they should be done only in the official ways determined in the elections process.

 

I’m not, *at all*, discussion about if the candidates are good, bad, or if I support them or not, just the way it has been done and I urge the board to take measures.

 

If you collect my email from any kind of database, without my previous and explicit consent, this is against law (and even immoral and unethical, in my personal opinion).

 

Moreover, if you do that with an EU citizen or resident, it is against GDPR, which means that you can get fines up to 20 million euros. And in case you don’t know, Mauritius is one of the countries that signed agreements with the EU about GDPR, so the legislation is applicable with the Afrinic databases as well.

 

Regards,

Jordi

Salam,

 

I see this email sent to individuals to support/campaign for some nominators (I'm not in agreement with all proposed names) who are among the public slat of AFRINIC candidates, IMHO any one is free to campaign. The undersigned signature represent the level of engagement of the sender in the community and gives the recipient more confident about her selection to the benefit of the community. This is too far from sponsoring youth and educate them in a way that may push them to support/oppose something.

My personal signature as SUST employee did't mean my view i this email represent SUST!

This email raises so many questions.

 

While as I have clearly stated – I do not have ANY problem with anyone lobbying on behalf of candidates and their beliefs – however – I have serious issues when other groups that are meant to be neutral start doing this.

 

As such, I need some clarity based on the signatures of the email.

 

a.       Is this email representative of the ASO /AC ‘s view

b.      Is this email representative of the combined view of the AFRINIC Appeal committee – and how does that align with the neutrality that is meant to exist in such a committee.

c.       Is this email representative of the views of Global IGF?

 

I really hope not – but – I have to ask – since that is what the email was signed as.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

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
