Yes all the fellows are members of the RPD mailists so they knew what<br>
happened during PDP day. Yes we do 'discuss' policies within Afrinic<br>
Fellowship program but no we do not tell fellows what to say, they are in<br>
charge of their own opinion. Sorry,my name is Afi and i was the returning<br>
fellow for AFRINIC30.<br>
Thank you.<br>
