After your hard work on a single structure. give us your proposals to
allow the African Community to be beneficial.
here is my question since the existence of Afrinic how many of the
African-African structures allow it easily young people, or all other
active people to participate or access the scholarships?, or any other
opportunity to link to the internet in their countries?
1) I suggest that Afrinic strengthen its collaboration with Larus for
the benefit of the community.
2) Let the promoter of this debate immediately sanction according to
Our fundamental AFRINIC values which I list below
• Community has driven
• Operational excellence
• Passion
• Innovation and creativity
we encourage the Larus Foundation to increase and continue to give
grants to those who want to work for the sustainable development of
the Internet in Africa because this does not violate the partnership
rule with Afrinic.

>> Dear community,

>>

>> You may remember the? recent discussions about Larus? Foundation

>> fellowship in respect to? educational documents provided to fellows as

>> meeting background material(*) and which? intended to condition their

>> views

>> on proposals and their contributions at the PPM and after..

>>

>> ?https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2019/009734.html

>>

>> I came across the actual agreement? which defines the terms and

>> conditions

>> under which? the fellowship program work.

>>

>> The agreement signed by each fellow stipulated the followings:

>>

>> Page 1

>> Larus Foundation? obligations to offer the fellowship program and

>> payments

>> are subject to terms and conditions and? *fellow performance*

>>

>> Page 2

>> Fellow is expected to meaningfully participate in the meeting, not just

>> sit in the meeting room. This can include voicing opinions, responding to

>> comments, participate in Hallway conversations.....

>>

>>

>> Page 5

>> Upon fellow completion of the fellowship program at Larus? foundation

>> satisfaction... Larus will offer stipends... the final decision for the

>> disbursement of the stipends is subject to Larus?s sole discretion...

>>

>> Value of the stipend: There are two parts that form the total value of

>> the

>> stipend as the followings:

>> First part(advanced payment): in the form of airfare, hotel, other

>> transportation costs for the meeting paid up front? by Larus.

>>

>> The second part: the remainder will be paid after the meeting... the

>> value

>> is in the range of 0 to 500$. Stipend payment is contingent to fellow

>> attendance and participation and conformance to the fellowship terms and

>> conditions? herein....

>>

>> Larus judgment on fellow participation will be final and binding to the

>> parties

>>

>> At Larus sole discretion, in the event that fellow fails to actively

>> participate in fellowship program and in the meeting or violate this

>> terms

>> and conditions, the stipend will not be offered.? In addition, Larus is

>> entitled to seek indemnify for all costs pay up front? by Larus and any

>> cost associated to the collection of such compensation, including but not

>> limited to court? costs, collection costs and attorney.

>> =====

>>

>> The following questions come to mind:

>>

>> 1-? From the educational material given to fellows which is purely based?

>> on Larus views on each proposals, positions to defend, what are the

>> objectives set? for each policy meeting and how are the objectives

>> aligned

>> with the general community interest?

>>

>> 2- Would Larus assume under these terms and conditions that opinions

>> expressed? by fellows during policy meetings are Larus opinions? and do

>> not

>> represent fellow individual opinions??

>>

>> 3- how is fellow performance measured as it is at Larus sole discretion?

>> What are the metrics and values used to determine the performance level?

>>

>> 4-how is the reward (0 to 500$) applied? based on the fellow performance?

>>

>> Regards?
