[rpd] REQUEST TO RECALL THE AFRINIC PDWG CO-CHAIRS

Bonjour à tous,

Je pense qu'il est important que les textes soient respectés par rapport
aux procédures à mener mais surtout qu'il nous faut éviter de lancer des
recours ou appels pour des intérêts personnels ou par vengeance mais plutôt
dans un souci de gain communautaire.

Une hiérarchisation du travail de la communauté est en application et cela
doit suivre son cours mais sachons qu'il n'est pas logique de retarder les
choses alors qu'il ya tant de priorités à résoudre.

Soyons UNIS..

Cordialement.
