[members-discuss] [rpd] Privacy breach of nomcom2015's Mailing List

[Owen DeLong]

Small correction… He did inform the correct member of the AfriNIC staff as well as copying the two board members.

I agree he should not have downloaded the data, but there was no impact to the election. There was no change to the slate of candidates.

We can either continue making mountains out of molehills or we can go back to the substantive issues that are actually meaningful to the community.

I vote for the latter.
