<p>Dear Marcus Adomey and All,<br>
</p>
<p>These are the scenarios that make it very difficult for leaders
to operate effectively, due to vested interests.<br>
<br>
AfriNIC does not belong to any individual of fiefdom. Indeed it
requires much more than the current herd mentality to make a
success of it.<br>
<br>
Since you and a number of people fail to heed the warning that
what you have is an allegation, Since a number of people cannot
read between the lines, Since silence is no longer golden but seen
as cowadice, I remind you again that this remains an allegation
and I shall respond appropriately to the GC whenever they request
of it.<br>
<br>
Sunday.<br>

Dear Reverend Sunday Folayan,<br>

The allegations against you are serious, from any angle no
matter how tolerant one would like to be.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
You violated the NDA and abused your fiduciary responsibilities.
This two infringements makes you ineligible to continue to serve
as a board member.
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
Besides this, in order that for the investigations into the
allegations of sexual harassment etc to be truly independent,
common sense and ethics require you to stand back from the board
while it is ongoing not just step aside as chair.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
Please show us that you are a leader and man of the cloth. Many
of us also expect appropriate and proportionate administrative
measures to be considered for the other management staff
involved in this.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Dear Former Chair,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I am saddened by what I read here,
and actually more than a little disturbed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Firstly let me state
categorically that I agree with waiting for the
investigation to conclude on the harassment allegations,
and you and I find alignment on that issue. However,
there is another issue where we strongly diverge, and
despite the conversations we have had on the matter in the
last few days the details of which will remain private
you have chosen to ignore what has been stated so clearly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I draw attention to this part of
your email:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u>I do acknowledge that I shared
a chat (with the best intentions) which should have
been treated with more caution, no matter how good the
intention was.<br>
<br>
</u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sunday What you did was a blatant
violation of the NDA agreement you signed as a board member
and yes I realize fully that you can argue what was shared
in the document that was attached to the allegation was a
chat between you and two other people and did not stem
directly out of a board meeting. However, you were involved
in a discussion around AfriNIC business that clearly and
without equivocation related to your work as chair and
related to information gained and dealt with in your
position as a board member. You then chose to share that
information with a third party.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2014 the former board passed the
following resolution:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Resolution 201411.211: The Board
RESOLVED ;
<b><i><u>Information discussed within the Board</u></i></b>
should not be disclosed to third parties without Board
approval. Violation may lead to expulsion from the Board
as provided by the Bylaws. However, information disclosed
by the Board to third parties not under NDA to the Board
is no longer confidential and is deemed to be in the
public domain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Please note that does not say
formal board meeting it says within the board and
considering the information under discussion in what was
shared it is without dispute that that was board
sensitive privileged information and that discussion can
be very much considered information discussed within the
board even if it is a subset of the board.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>A few months after this resolution
was passed two members of the board, Mr Badru Ntege and
Mr Paulos Nyirende chose to violate the NDA and then
chose to do the honourable thing and resign over the
breach of NDA rather than face disciplinary action. I am
shocked considering your role in in the authorship of that
resolution and your full awareness of the subsequent
happenings that lead to two members of the board resigning
that you now hold yourself to a different standard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I strongly believe that you have
done a very good job as chair and I wish on everything
that is in me that I did not have to find myself writing
this email but the reality is rules have to be
consistent the application of rules has to be consistent
what applies to one must apply to all anything else
makes all rules meaningless and what you are doing now I
find to the height of hypocrisy and far beneath the man I
know you to be.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Please do what is right and I
strongly believe you know what that is.</span></p>

Harassment</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members and the Community,<br>
<br>
Over the last few days, some allegations have been made that
are serious <br>
and by very nature threaten to further divide this community
and <br>
represent a threat to the AfriNIC organization.<br>
<br>
I believe the unity of the community is as important as the
sanctity of <br>
the Board, and it is my responsibility to ensure none is
compromised <br>
further.<br>
<br>
While I categorically deny any claims of any harassment
levied at me, <br>
and believe these allegations are entirely spurious, I do
acknowledge <br>
that I shared a chat (with the best intentions) which should
have been <br>
treated with more caution, no matter how good the intention
was.<br>
<br>
It is my responsibility to step down as Chair, pending the
conclusion of <br>
the investigations on the harassment claims.<br>
<br>
May I most respectfully request that we await the
independent <br>
investigation that the Board has initiated, and be patient,
so that the <br>
community can come out of this strongest. I remain committed
as a member <br>
of the community.<br>
<br>
I have prior to now, communicated my decision to my
colleagues on the Board.<br>
<br>
I look forward to being allowed to defend myself, and
justice being <br>
served for all, on the matter.<br>
<br>
With Kind Regards ....<br>
<br>
Sunday Folayan.<br>
