As PDWG Chairs, we would like to take this opportunity to firmly encourage all participants on this mailing list to be responsible, civil and stay within the bounds of policy related discussions. </span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><font color="#000000" face="Arial" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14.666666984558105px; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">
Your participation in AFRINIC-organised activities or discussions is subject to a code of conduct which can be found at <a href="https://www.afrinic.net/code" class="">https://www.afrinic.net/code</a> </span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><font color="#000000" face="Arial" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14.666666984558105px; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">
Warnings, moderation or a ban are possible outcomes in case violations of the Code of Conduct and we would ideally prefer that this community does not give us any reason to enforce the Code of Conduct. </span></font></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><font color="#000000" face="Arial" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14.666666984558105px; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">
As volunteers, we do not monitor the rpd mailing list on a 24x7 basis. We recommend that a member notify co-chairs via email to pdwg at <a href="http://afrinic.net" class="">afrinic.net</a> if you observe a violation of the code of conduct.
In the event that you believe that you cannot comply with the published code of conduct please note that you can still follow the publicly available discussion archives at <a href="https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/" class="">https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/</a>
Your cooperation will be most welcome to make the RPD mailing list a healthy space for policy discussions.
