    <p>Hi Badru,</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>We can only heal, when some people don't claim entitlement over
      AfriNIC. I don't think as African, I will be seen to be less
      African or less Patriotic, such notions breed rebellion.</p>
    <p>I will differ slightly with some of your opinions, we need
      independent sponsors. In that regard as a community we can create
      a Fellowship "regulations" for any organization to follow and
      provide support outside the AfriNIC structure.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>cheers</p>
    <p>Daniel<br>

      </div>
      <div>In the court of public opinion and the absence of a moderator
        on this particular issue, but based on many emails over the last
        few days.  Looks like the analogy of “walks like a duck quacks
        like a duck must be a 🦆“ seems to have some substance here. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>So i would suggest we ask any foundation planning to assist
        the community to go through Afrinic as suggested by Jordi</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>In the absence of that we can explore the motives of that
        organization especially where through the discussions it has
        been insinuated that the same organization or a related party
        might be using allocated resources in a manner that contradicts
        the rules of allocation and thus could be using funds to subvert
        policy through mass recruitment and paying for open mic and
        policy discussion time  </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I think we have to be practical arround this issue and
        resolve it in a mature way.   </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Lets fix what is wrong and not blindly debate the issue.  
         Its very clear something is not right.   </div>

                      Beyond LARUS I would like us to also be told the
                      conditions for the selection of African-African
                      organizations. Are all African geopolitics taken
                      into account, does popularization conform to
                      standards? Or concerns only a privileged few
                      connected to the "system"? Personally I am amazed
                      that the overwhelming part of the African
                      community does not know everything about AFRINIC I
                      can give testimony of my own region where I am. An
                      impartial and multi-criteria analysis on ALL
                      fellowships systems for AFRINIC meetings would be
                      more beneficial for the entire community. An Asian
                      organization which offers scholarships to young
                      Africans by its methods against African-African
                      organizations which also offer scholarships
                      according to their methods.<br>

                        were discussed and ratified by<br>
                        this community over the past 20 years and Larus
                        Foundation was never there<br>
                        when various proposals were drafted and
                        deliberated, past volunteers<br>
                        co-chaired the PPM and managed working groups on
                        this list and over the<br>
                        years through rough consensus, they got all the
                        active policies today<br>
                        ratified.<br>

                        <br>
                        I am confused as to how bringing new blood into
                        the process is ?undermining?.<br>
                        <br>
                        New blood and new ideas are life for any
                        organization or process which intends to
                        continue for more than a very short period of
                        time.<br>
                        <br>
                        The board we have today is not the board we had
                        when AfriNIC began. Is having a new board
                        undermining the process?<br>
                        The CEO we have today is not the CEO we had when
                        AfriNIC began. Is having a new CEO undermining
                        the process?<br>
                        Many of the most vocal participants in the
                        process today were not participants in the
                        process when AfriNIC began. Are you saying that
                        any voice which was not here at the beginning is
                        ?undermining the process??<br>
                        <br>
                        It is not the goal or intent of Larus foundation
                        to undermine anything. We are, exactly as Daniel
                        said, providing opportunities for more Africans
                        to participate in the AfriNIC process.<br>

                        That?s good feedback. I?ll look into making sure
                        we try to document our selection criteria.<br>
                        <br>
                        I will say that we do try to select individuals
                        that we believe are likely to be valuable
                        contributors to the community, primarily ICT
                        students or those early in their ICT careers. We
                        do not call for participants that are not likely
