<div dir="auto">Hi Willy, <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I agree with you that organisations (outside fellowship programs) should have a set of clearly defined rules both for their fellows as well for other stakeholders involved. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">But the main parties such as AFRINIC and ICAAN should also set some rules for those outside fellowship programmes. As a preventive measure, so as to avoid the running into the risk of some organisation with a lot of fellows having a strong lobby with some sort of hidden agenda. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I am unaware if AFRINIC has already setup some rules according to this, do you know if it does? <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Cheers, <br></div>
