However, I want to take this moment to applaud the integrity shown in this message and agree and support your decision. I sincerely hope that someone from the community will step up and do as you requested.<div><br></div><div>Owen</div><div><br><div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 10, 2014, at 13:51 , Sunday Folayan <<a href="mailto:sfolayan@gmail.com">sfolayan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><p dir="ltr"> Hi All,</p><p dir="ltr">With regards to the Academic IPv4 Policy (Policy Draft AFPUB-2013-GEN-001-DRAFT-03).</p><p dir="ltr">Due to the fact that both authors of the policy have now been elected to the board, and we are of the opinion that this represents a severe potential conflict of interest, we would like to ask the list if there were any individuals who would like to take over further actions on this policy (changing it, promoting it, defending it at meetings etc).</p><p dir="ltr">Both authors still strongly believe in the policy and the sentiments behind it, and still believe the policy is in the best interest of the African region as a whole, and hence, we have opted to make this appeal rather than withdrawing the policy or letting it lapse on the 26th of June.</p><p dir="ltr">Should there be anyone interested in taking over the policy from here on out, please advise either of the authors.</p><p dir="ltr">Many Thanks</p><p dir="ltr">Sunday Folayan / Andrew Alston</p>
