<pre>Dear all,
I honestly think we should let the debate be open and transparent for the
interest and the development of the organization. Furthermore I do not
think the Board should not target single member of the community related to
his view and opinion which could be different.
I have seen a lot of contribution from different members of communities
which I really appreciate in order to improve what need to be improve
"there will be always room for improvement. I do thing the Board should
accept others view and critics not targeting specific member.
Finally I will advocate a respectful open debate professional.

AFRINIC History is not hidden and should not be craftily re-written in
emails such as these.
You were elected to the Board in May 2012 during AFRINIC-16 at Banjul.

The Board met f2f under your watch at AFRINIC-17 in November 2012 in
Khartoum, Sudan. You did not inherit any budget.

The AGMM in Lusaka was during AFRINIC-18 in June 2013. You had chaired
the Board for a whole year.

to the last paragraph on page 3 should remind you.
The AGMM in Djibouti at AfriNIC-20 in June 2014 was your second year
running as Chair.
You handed over to me during AfriNIC-21 at Mauritius in November 2014.
You left the Board in June 2015 at AfriNIC-22 in Tunis, less that 6
months ago, after being Chair for over Two years and three months.
I have now Chaired the Board for exactly one Year.
I still accept responsibility for your diagnosis of the pathetic level
of mediocrity in the current Board, the above is just to set the records
straight.
Cheers.
SF.
