[rpd] [Community-Discuss] Lobbying Allegations against W

[Ousmane M. TESSA]

  Dear all,

Let's proceed like in normal life! To each encountered problem, human  
has to draw lessons!
It's simply the way I saw the valuable contribution of Mirriam. But  
meanwhile, there is no way to be sure, beyond common sense, that the  
way further she suggested can work within our community!

Community rhymes with diverse interests, different opinions. But here,  
all these must be aligned behind AfriNIC vision, mission and its core  
values as (From https://afrinic.net/history ) :

  OUR VISION

  "Be the leading force in growing the internet for Africa's  
sustainable development"

   

  OUR MISSION

  "To serve the African Community by providing professional and  
efficient management of Internet number technology usage and  
development, and promoting Internet self-governance."

   

  OUR CORE VALUES


   *   Community-driven
   *   Operational excellence
   *   Passion
   *   Innovation & Creativity
