[rpd] Appeal Committee Terms of Reference (Version 1)

[Andrew Alston]

And another factual inaccuracy – I did not know it was open until Sander told me about it – nor did I ever subscribe to it.

Please – get your facts straight before throwing out accusations.

Secondly – how was he supposed to know it was a private list when he subscribed to it? Instead – when he found out – he informed myself and others of the fact that it was open – and it got fixed.

Andrew

Thank you for this.

It was a private list and you (a sitting Board) and Sander (a sitting
RIPE Chair) discovered the list was open by accident.

A person of good integrity could have privately asked AfriNIC to
adjust configuration of that list in order to protect the institution
from embarrassment, rather than intentionally embarrass the
institution by making all those findings public.
