I am also for the right of every participant in this community not
to be muzzled but not to the detriment of the organisation. <br>
<br>
We already have a code of conduct for rpd, community and members
list[1] that resolves the issue of a distracting participant. No
reason why the rulebook cannot be thrown at a member who drags the
reputation of the organisation in the mud in the name of defending
its ideals. <br>
<br>
I would also be interested in answers to Janvier's question as the
member in question happens to be Liquid Telecom.<br>

about your motives that seem inappropriate to me
this last couple of months, in such that, with

stop paying your $50k annual fee, and go rent
your resources to another RIR. Afrinic will not
died.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font size="4">Please
tell here if your statements here and questions
engage yourself or your company? Because it is
inacceptable that a single member micromanages
Afrinic, this is a lack of respect to the
Afrinic body. </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font size="4">I'm really
shocked and got boring with your mails. The CEO
should have never replied to it. I am not the
one who have to ask you to wait for the
financial annual report or the auditor's report
at the AGMM to ask these multiple questions.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font size="4">I think
you're crossed over the line at this point, do
you forget the principle that the CEO reports to
the Board, and that the Board reports to members
at an AGMM? Where do you come from with the
questions on the figures in the mid-year budget
and particulary on sponsoring of the Cotonou
event? </font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font size="4">I also see
that you're giving yourself too much liberty, to
the point of asking ICANN if it is sponsoring
the Cotonou event, this is again a lack of
respect to the ICANN body.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><font size="4">For the
sake of the African Internet community, for the
sake of the Afrinic members, and this is my
recommandation to the Board: I am requesting

Afrinic and its members.</font></div>
