[Community-Discuss] Resignation

[retornam]

AFRINIC has more drama than a telenovela or a soap opera.

It’s sad to see an organization tasked with improving  and sustaining the growth of a secure, stable and robust internet across the African continent go through so much turmoil.

The drama and disagreements make it less attractive for members who genuinely want to see the organization succeed from contributing.
