[rpd] Larus foundation and Afrinic PDP

[gregoire.ehoumi]

Owen,We all remember your business relationship with Larus which you confessed in the past.There are no accusations, but true and serious concerns that are easy for a non conflicted person to see.It is obvious that people through this fellowship are recruited for a specific mission as one can read through the Larus Foundation fellowship terms and agreement.We have seen Larus fellows on the mic during the AfriNIC PPM struggling to guarantee the 500USD reward, by reading and repeating irrelevant comments, while engaging on topic/issues they have no clue about.The mission seems to be to prevent at all costs, AfriNIC for exercising some control over the management of Internet Number Resources (INR).As previously discussed on this list, the reward money is  suspected to come from fraudulent use of extra large IPv4 that people behind the foundation were allocated by AfriNIC.Time has come for members who sponsor AfriNIC meeting and offer fellowship for AfriNIC PDP,  to show fully their compliance with AfriNIC  policies, RSA and other ethical principles.- Greg

Short version reminder here:Organizations that want to sponsor fellows are very welcome, but this need to be coordinated with AFRINIC. Sponsors don't need to know who are the fellows, AFRINIC will select them based in the rules jointly agreed with the sponsor. AFRINIC and sponsor jointly define other details such as what training materials are provided to the fellows, how they are evaluated and if they don't match certain requirements (such as not actually coming to the sessions, etc.), if they don't get reimbursed all the costs, etc.If a sponsor doesn't want to follow those rules, then AFRINIC could reject that sponsorship and ban them.This provides the same advantages to all the parties, but the community can be sure that fellows aren't influenced in any way.Again, this is generic idea, many other details can be fixed, but I don't think it is so difficult to match what both AFRINIC (organization), sponsors, fellows and community need.Regards,Jordi at jordipalet  El 18/2/20 15:56, "Badru Ntege" <badru.ntege at nftconsult.com> escribió:            Sent from my iPhone        > On 17 Feb 2020, at 01:21, Owen DeLong <owen at delong.com> wrote:    >     > Please just say what you mean.    >     > Owen        It walks like a duck ....  we are paying money to motivate participation.         In another context one might call it corruption.          Some people are publicly shifting long held positions since laurus seems to be paying.   ....... looks like a duck            The evidence is clear ...must be a duck 🦆         When i look back in the historical threads the Owen i know seems to be speaking a different language these days.          But maybe its just my limited capacity to comprehend the issues at hand.
