[rpd] Ratified Policy Proposal - AFPUB-2020-GEN-006-DRAFT03 AFRINIC Number Resource Policy Transfer

[PDWG Chair]

Dear Gregoire,

We have taken note of your communication on the RPD Mailing List^1 .

While we appreciate the provision of clarity, personal attacks are 
strictly unacceptable. As a member of the Policy Development Working 
Group (PDWG) and a policy author, we must reiterate that the RPD Mailing 
List is designated exclusively for discussions concerning resource 
policies and the AFRINIC Policy Development Process (PDP).

Maintaining a professional and respectful environment is required to 
ensure productive outcomes regarding resource policies. We require that 
you review and fully adhere to the Code of Conduct, 
https://www.afrinic.net/code <https://www.afrinic.net/code>, in all 
future correspondence.


Best Regards,

Dr. Vincent Ngundi & Darwin Da Costa

*AFRINIC PDWG Co-Chairs*
