<div dir="auto">Hello there, <div dir="auto"> I am an advocate for freedom of speech and expression and I think that what Larus foundation did was to do a summary of the policies to enable it's fellows to understand the policies better before discussions during the PDP and concerning the 16million IP addresses, I don't think Larus Stole them but I guess they were acquired legally by Larus foundation. Finally, I urge Larus foundation to put more effort in making summaries of all the policies that are meant to be discussed during the PDP and also place it in a public domain for newbies.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> ..Tom Ochang</div><div dir="auto"> Nigeria.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 2 Jul 2019, 16:04 Andrew Alston, <<a href="mailto:Andrew.Alston@liquidtelecom.com">Andrew.Alston@liquidtelecom.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Wafa,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So – let me say this. I see a document here – which lays out the policies – and provides a perspective of problems, it also lists the pros and cons. Yes, Lazarus may have used the foundation to lobby for its position,
but – one of the things that I have long accepted in my life is – if you believe in something – you have to lobby for it – and to be frank – the summary that I see in this document – is something that by and large – should have been done long before they got
around to it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If I, as an individual, feel strongly about something, I am entirely free to go and advocate for my position. I am also entirely free to sponsor people to come to a public meeting – and I am entirely free to choose those
people as I so wish, if I choose the people who agree with me, well, that’s life – but it certainly aint against the rules, it is the political nature of internet policy development. Do you think that similar does not happen elsewhere? People lobby for the
positions that they care about. It happens in politics, it happens in life, and yet now we want to cry when someone else does the same thing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Let me also say – it’s not like this hasn’t been happening before – and I want to quote from the OIF website:
</span><b><i><u><span lang="en-KE" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1d1d1d">IOF organises political activities and actions of multilateral cooperation that benefit French-speaking populations.</span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:105%"><u></u><u></u></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Yet – this is an organization that for years has spent money filling the room with people – and that statement does not say – is of benefit to Africa – it does not say is of benefit to the African continent – it does
not say is to the benefit of the continent – it singles out a single demographic on the continent and says – we do what we do for their benefit. Now, let me be very clear, if they wish to do that – I’m actually ok with it – though I admit I have waivered
on this stance – however, we cannot say – because it’s a government political organization – it’s ok – but when a member chooses to have a foundation – and sponsor people to the meetings – and then lobby for the positions that member is passionate about –
suddenly its wrong. That is called hypocrisy.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In Point Noire, I watched people walk to the microphone – with slips of paper and read a comment on a policy – and then go and sit down – and the same happened in Botswana. Except, what I found was, when queried on the
position that was taken at the microphone, the individual reading what they had off the paper, had patently obviously never read the policy and didn’t understand the position they were taking themselves. So who was behind that? And all of that – is on video
for the world to see – but – it was ok then – suddenly it changes now because we don’t like the individual doing it?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Sorry – this isn’t the way it works – and let me be clear – Lu Heng is not a friend of mine, and in fact in Mauritius I had some pretty strong things to say to him to his face, in front of others who will testify to what
I said to him – however – I respect his rights as a member to participate in what is essentially a democratic process, that means – I respect his right to lobby for his views, I respect his right to put boots on the ground, and I respect his right to have
his say. In the same way – I respect the right of any member to do that – and I respect the right of the members to then rebut what is said if they do not agree with it. It is through this lobbying position and through the back and forth that accompanies
it, that great policy is born – it is not through acquiescence, nor is it through the silencing of the rights of others.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My view – if anyone wants to come into the room and have their say – so be it – that is bottom up. If people want to lobby their positions – so be it – that is bottom up. If people want to spend money running tv adverts
about their positions for all I care – so be it – that is the nature of the democratic position. If people want to bus a thousand people who share their views – again – so be it – that is the democratic process. However, it is the community who then need
to rebut – but – the rebuttal should be on the policy itself. What I see here however, is a rebuttal of policy and a lobbying position taken on the *<b>content</b>* of the policy – unlike what I have seen time and again in the meetings where the lobbying
position has NOTHING to do with the content or the policy.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So rather than malign Lazarus for their actions here – quite frankly, reading this document, and as much as as I have said, Lu and I have some serious differences, I applaud Lazarus for the comprehensive work – and I
applaud them for taking a stance that was based on the policy and I embrace their right to lobby for their position in any way shape or form. That is not to say I agree with the positions taken in this document – I will reserve my policy comments for the
policies and based on my own interpretation of such – but – I embrace the fact that at least, it was done based on what was written, and not on personal relationships, personal attacks, demographics, or anything else.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So – to Lazarus – thank you for a job well done in the fact that you lobbied your position based on the policies – and left the other garbage behind, which is what we so often see.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Finally – again – I respect the right to do what they did – and
