[rpd] Larus foundation and Afrinic PDP

Have you looked at the proposal from Jordi ??

Afrinic as an organization with many stakeholders and has a method of accepting Sponsorships so we do not corrupt the bottom up process.

Whether it is the intention or not the foundation opens up the bottom up process to questionable outcomes and thus the pushback from members.

We cannot assume that he who shouts loudest should get his way. We need to be open to listen to others and find a workable outcome.

The proposal seeks to find a workable outcome.

Asking those we do not agree with to “shut” as you suggest has never been part of the bottom up process and is not how we do things.

Lets discuss the pros and cons of the proposal openly and have consensus on the way forward.

@Badru Ntege,

In response to what Daniel submitted, could you please substantiate the real issue you felt not addressed?

I quite agree with Daniel's submissions. I was just wondering what the term "Genuine Sponsor" could mean from those having negative thoughts about the LARUS fellowship programme. Could it be they are referring to the kind of sponsors that dictates how the meeting should flow?

I am yet to see the real issue with the LARUS and if none can be clearly identified then I suggest the sponsors of this discussion to keep shut!

Regards.

Faruk.

@Daniel Many questions were answered and many more asked. Because an answer was given should mot bring the presumption that things are OK.

When you say previously denied. You seem to make it sound like some people were prevented. To my knowledge all AfriNIC meetings have. been streamed and also recordings made available.

Lets not deflect from real issues raised and the practical suggestions from members.

The assumption that members should just accept because enough people repeated the same answers many times does not make the issue disappear.

There?s something not right. Please listen to the voices of others and not yours only.

Dear All,

I have assumed that we have put to rest the case of Larus Foundation and have since resumed doing important things on the PDP. But I can see the devil is still in the details, regarding this matter.

I think we need to live with the fact that Larus Foundation has shown its transparency as best as they can, but this does not satisfy some members of the community. I can also see that these community members are not happy because Larus Foundation has brought "previously denied persons" to AfriNIC meeting, and in the process breaking their monopoly and strangulating hold.

I think asking AfriNIC organisation to pursue a genuine sponsor is unhealthy and an attempt to use the establishment to pursue a perceive enemy. Let us allow this dog to lie quietly.

Simply,

Daniel

Je suis tout ? fait d'accord avec toi Kakel.

Je trouve qu'il est tr?s normal pour une organisation d'?tre partielle tant que cel? se fait en objectivit? totale.
Et en quoi a-t-elle ?t? partiale ? Lorsqu'elle pr?pare des documents au jugement biais? pour remettre entre les mains des jeunes qui arrivent pour la premi?re fois aux r?unions d'Afrinic et pour certains c'est la premi?re fois qu'ils quittent leur pays pour l'ext?rieur, je comprendrai leur d?voiement ? d?fendre l'ind?fendable.

Dailleurs, Larus ne fait peut-?tre pas l'exception mais se comporte au moins d'une mani?re objective et dont les travaux sont b?n?fiques pour la communaut? Africaine.
Ces Travaux sont b?n?fiques tu dis ? certaines communaut?s africaines, Hummm J'en doute fort qu'elles soient b?n?fiques, mais plut?t nuisible oui.

Essayons cette fois-ci de voir la grande image et de la comparer ? ses semblables avant de juger ou de suivre des jugements sans pr?-requis.

Que veux-tu dire sans pr?-requis, je pense plut?t que ceux qui d?fendent cette fondation, sont ceux-l? m?me justement qui manquent ? mon humble avis de pr?-requis pour comprendre les enjeux qui sont d?fendus dans ces d?bats et discussions. Pri?re lire les anciens message de cette liste et regarder les anciennes vid?os des r?unions d'Afrinic. Avant de venir affirmer des choses ici.

Je pense que les attaques contre Larus poussent aux questionnements. Ce n'est pas une chose rare pour une organisation de sponsoriser des personnes pour des r?unions - l'OIF d?clare ouvertement que ?les OIF organisent des activit?s politiques et des actions de coop?ration multilat?rale qui sont au profit des populations francophones. Ses actions respectent la diversit? culturelle et linguistique et servent ? promouvoir la langue fran?aise, la paix et le d?veloppement durable ?sur leur site officiel.

?tant moi-m?me de langue maternelle fran?aise, je pense qu'il est plut?t hypocrite que certains accusent Larus d'?tre partielle tout en n'?voquant rien des OIF et d'autres organisations similaires qui sont ?galement form?es, comme elles le disent, au profit des populations francophones uniquement.

Nous savons tous que les OIF utilisent l'argent depuis des ann?es pour amener les gens ? parler en sa faveur. Je ne porte pas de jugement et c'est un fait bien connu. Je pense que c'est normal car les OIF repr?sentent l'int?r?t de la population francophone. Larus est peut-?tre ? certains yeux partielle . Mais il me semble que c'est objectif.

Je pense simplement qu'il n'est pas juste pour nous de dire que Larus est partielle - il est in?vitable pour l'organisation de repr?senter l'int?r?t de certains groupes de personnes, mais elle doit, dans l'ensemble, rester juste et objective. Je pense que Larus fait ?a.

Internet est une soci?t? ouverte - et j'exhorte tous ? ?tre non seulement ouverts, mais aussi ? ?tre justes lorsqu'il s'agit de juger un parti en particulier.

I am confused? The entire purpose of this list is for us to discuss and attempt to influence people?s opinions about policies. The only way we can ever come to consensus is by influencing people?s opinions through discussion.

That is the PDP, not an abuse of the PDP. Please explain the abuse to me.

Confused by your statement that ?attempting to influence people?s opinions about policies is an abuse of the PDP.?

As to my opinion of Jordi?s proposal, I think some portions of it have merit, but the devil is in the details. I have no interest in engaging in a public discussion of the finer points on this mater, however, as I have no real dog in that fight. I do not believe that Jordi?s proposal would increase transparency or significantly improve the quality of our fellowship program.

Owen
