Hello Jordi,<div><br><div> guidelines already exist for compliance by members therefore notifications or reminders to indicate non compliance for me is not necessary. </div><div><br></div><div>Furthermore, this policy might be increasing the hierarchy of the importance of notifications more than the actual rules being violated. E.g in my self defence I can say I never got notified that I was breaking any rule. Ignorance therefore becomes an excuse for violation. </div><div><br></div><div>If rules already exists then it's left for members to make sure that their legal team is abreast with the translation and adherence to such rules.<br><br>On Wednesday, August 5, 2020, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <<a href="mailto:jordi.palet@consulintel.es">jordi.palet@consulintel.es</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="ES" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi Paschal,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Can you tell me where can any member check if he is complying with its actual compliance status for all the policy manual?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Can you tell me if when there is a lack of compliance, if the member is receiving an automated notification or if it will be only known because another member realizes it and tell him (or if it is a competitor and want to create harm may be claim to the staff), or the staff or something similar?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Those are just simple questions that confirm that this is not actually being done, at least not in an automated and as much completed fashion as possible.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Regards,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Jordi<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">@jordipalet<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">El 5/8/20 19:22, "Paschal Ochang" <<a href="mailto:pascosoft@gmail.com" target="_blank">pascosoft@gmail.com</a>> escribió:<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">Dear Jordi,<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">I do not agree with this “policy compliance dashboard” proposal on the simple fact that it’s just an additional complication to an already working system. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">All the points mentioned on the proposal are supposed to be taken care of by the Afrinic board and are very obvious matters that do not require a whole new complicated strategy that won’t bring any additional value. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">Clicking on a button to check a list of violations and inconsistencies doesn’t automatically mean that something will be done about it. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.4pt">I don’t think the Afrinic board needs this dashboard to tell them something that they already know.

Following the RSA, those resources should be taken, but with this proposal, the staff can notify the situation to the Board and the Board could take special measures instead of recovering the resources (which right now they are forced to do according to the RSA/bylaws). I think we should have a way to accommodate for that.<br><br>Last but not least, when resources are recovered (a company goes to bankruptcy, or because of lack of payment, or repetitive and persistent lack of policy compliance, etc.), we define a way about how we publish and incorporate those resources back to the AFRINIC pool.<br><br>Regards,<br>Jordi<br>@jordipalet<br><br><br><br>El 5/8/20 18:47, "Taiwo Oyewande" <<a href="mailto:taiwo.oyewande88@gmail.com" target="_blank">taiwo.oyewande88@gmail.com</a>> escribió:<br><br><br> I have read through your “Policy Compliance Dashboard” proposal. <br> I will like to enquire if Afrinic Isn’t already keeping track of the members that do not comply with the already existing rules, members that do not pay their fees or those that violate the policies in general? <br> It seems that this proposal is just a repetition of what the Afrinic board’s job already is.<br><br> Regards<br> Taiwo<br><br> > On 5 Aug 2020, at 11:01, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ via RPD <<a href="mailto:rpd@afrinic.net" target="_blank">rpd@afrinic.net</a>> wrote:<br> > <br> > Hi all,<br> > <br> > I will like to know if anyone has any inputs for the proposal "Policy Compliance Dashboard" (Draft1) - AFPUB-2020-GEN-001-DRAFT01.<br> > <br> > <a href="https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2020-gen-001-d1#proposal" target="_blank">https://www.afrinic.net/<wbr>policy/proposals/2020-gen-001-<wbr>d1#proposal</a><br> > <br> > It will be also good to get at least, a draft impact analysis from the staff.
