<p>Dear Chairman Abibu,</p>
Thank you very much for the update to members and the Community. <br>
<br>
The finding "<span>That the Investigation Committee (IC) is
satisfied that there was no evidence of harassment, bullying or
intimidation by Board members" a bit consoling, but also
troubling because the release is a summary.</span><span> The staff
petition and allegations was not even about NDA violation by
Sunday Folayan.<br>
<br>
</span><span>Kindly take note of the following:<br>
</span><span><br>
1. The petitioner specifically mentioned "Sunday Folayan, Haitham
El-Nakhal and other Board members". Why summarize the findings as
"... by Board members?", knowing that Sunday Folayan is no more a
Board member? Why not clear the accused outrightly and not in
veiled statements. The statement on the NDA violation is very
clear.<br>
</span><br>
2 An accusation was made. Marriages and careers could have been
destroyed, if not for some few people (Gabriella, Owen DeLong,
Olutayo, Chivelier and Ben Roberts) that saw through the charade.
Where is justice?<br>
<br>
Injustice does not come in any different form. Some day, more truths
will surface, and it will not be because of privacy issues. <br>
<br>
I trust the membership and community will learn from this saga, and
allow the healing process take place. <br>
<br>
Let us give peace a chance for some sacrifices to be worthwhile.
AFRINIC will wax stronger, this I know.<br>
<br>
I am now done, I will hold my peace.<br>
<br>
Sunday.<br>
<br>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The Board in March 2018, as per resolution

an independent investigation, and to appoint an
investigation committee. The Board requested the findings
to be reported by 30 April 2018.</span></p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The GC notified the community that they would
deliver the report by 4 May 2018, and has submitted the
report to the Board on 2 May 2018. The Board acknowledged
receipt of the report. The Board is going to thoroughly
consider the report and recommendations thereof, and will

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><span>That there was a violation of the
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and section 153 of the
Companies Act 2001, by Mr Sunday Folayan.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><span>That there is no evidence whatsoever
against Haitham El Nakhal of having breached the terms
of the NDA and/or section 153 of the Companies Act 2001.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><span> </span></p>

and Vice Chair appointments that were made in resolution
201803.398.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>With regards to allegations made against
certain members of staff, the Board observed from the IC
report that there may have been inappropriate behaviour on
the part of certain staff members.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><br>
</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The findings and recommendations related to
staff matters will be addressed through necessary processes.</span></p>
<br>
