<div dir="auto">Dear community,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">You may remember the recent discussions about Larus Foundation fellowship in respect to educational documents provided to fellows as meeting background material(*) and which intended to condition their views on proposals and their contributions
at the PPM and after..</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"> <a href="https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2019/009734.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2019/009734.html</a></div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I came across the actual agreement which defines the terms and conditions under which the fellowship program work.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">The agreement signed by each fellow stipulated the followings:</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Page 1</div>
<div dir="auto">Larus Foundation obligations to offer the fellowship program and payments are subject to terms and conditions and *fellow performance*</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Page 2</div>
<div dir="auto">Fellow is expected to meaningfully participate in the meeting, not just sit in the meeting room. This can include voicing opinions, responding to comments, participate in Hallway conversations.....</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Page 5</div>
<div dir="auto">Upon fellow completion of the fellowship program at Larus foundation satisfaction... Larus will offer stipends... the final decision for the disbursement of the stipends is subject to Larus’s sole discretion...</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Value of the stipend: There are two parts that form the total value of the stipend as the followings:</div>
<div dir="auto">First part(advanced payment): in the form of airfare, hotel, other transportation costs for the meeting paid up front by Larus.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">The second part: the remainder will be paid after the meeting... the value is in the range of 0 to 500$. Stipend payment is contingent to fellow attendance and participation and conformance to the fellowship terms and conditions herein....</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Larus judgment on fellow participation will be final and binding to the parties</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">At Larus sole discretion, in the event that fellow fails to actively participate in fellowship program and in the meeting or violate this terms and conditions, the stipend will not be offered. In addition, Larus is entitled to seek indemnify
for all costs pay up front by Larus and any cost associated to the collection of such compensation, including but not limited to court costs, collection costs and attorney.</div>
<div dir="auto">=====</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">The following questions come to mind:</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">1- From the educational material given to fellows which is purely based on Larus views on each proposals, positions to defend, what are the objectives set for each policy meeting and how are the objectives aligned with the general community
interest?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">2- Would Larus assume under these terms and conditions that opinions expressed by fellows during policy meetings are Larus opinions and do not represent fellow individual opinions? </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">3- how is fellow performance measured as it is at Larus sole discretion? What are the metrics and values used to determine the performance level?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">4-how is the reward (0 to 500$) applied based on the fellow performance?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Regards </div>
