[rpd] PDP issues because the lack of the confirmation of dates for the new PPM

[ABDULKARIM AYOPO OLOYEDE]

Dear Jordi
You have raised some critical question for us all to think about I am sure
you do not expect a stright forward response to your questions as you know
Africa is different from Latin America in a lot of ways.
   Secondly, in your last email, you used some words that are not
acceptable.  We (Co-chairs) are sure that you are aware of the code of
conduct concerning the use of such statements on the PDWG making list or
during the Policy meeting.  Such statements are unacceptable, and this is a
formal warning that you should refrain from the use of such words. We
understand that you are not satisfied with the appeal, but there are ways
in which this can be resolved. As far as we Co-chairs are concerned the
ruling of the appeal committe means that our decision was upheld, meaning
the policy proposal goes back to the discussion stage. This should not
result in you using unacceptable language; rather, you should put your
energy into convincing the community about the policy during the next
Policy meeting.
Please be warned.
Thank you

Co-Chair
PDWG
