[rpd] [Community-Discuss] [AFRINIC-Announce] Announcement for Final Candidate Slate for Open Seat for the NRO NC elections

[Paschal Ochang]

You are right Fernando,

Although one might argue that there is no current law or policy in AfriNIC
that  prevents campaigning openly for a candidate, but doing it in such a
manner and on the various rpd and community discuss platforms is for me
ethically and morally not correct.

People might have their own opinions regarding who they want to vote but
this influences for example newcomers to the scene. The candidates cv
should speak for themselves and their presentations should speak for
themselves.

Please I do not support this.
