[rpd] RDP Discussion

[NP Petronella]

Dear Ben,

Mandla’s position is straightforward. AFRINIC’s PDP is open to anyone and imposes no qualification for participation. A contributor does not automatically represent their employer merely because an affiliation is known.

Unless Mandla expressly states that he is authorised to speak for NRS, his contribution is his own. Employment is context, not a power of attorney.

Assuming otherwise confuses participation with representation and suggests a misunderstanding of how an open PDP works. Please assess Mandla’s argument as Mandla’s argument.

Regards,
Nonhlanhla
