FORCAS
by tijani.benjemaa＠fmai.org May 26, 2011

May 26, 2011

English below ----------------- Chers tous, Après que plusieurs ALS se sont exprimées concernant la demande de FORCAS, et juste avant que lavis dAFRALO est transmis à ALAC, jaimerai vous donner lavis de mon ALS sur ce sujet : La FMAI pense que FORCAS ne doit pas être accréditée pour les raisons suivantes : · Rien dans la mission de cette association na une relation quelconque avec Internet · La première demande contenait des éléments de base qui prouvent quelle ne peut pas être accréditée. Pensant que cest peut-être une mauvaise compréhension des questions, nous lui avions posé des questions précises avec des explications, et leur réponse na pas élucidé les choses. Ce nest quaprès leur avoir écrit une 3ème fois quils ont donné une application qui pourrait être recevable. · Leurs réactions à nos différents courriers étaient très lentes, et il a fallu des rappels avec des dates limites pour recevoir des réponses. Si aujourdhui quils demandent à adhérer à AFRALO, ils ne prennent pas la peine de réponde dans des délais raisonnables à des demandes déclaircissement, quel serait leur degré dimplication demain quand il sagit de travailler et de fournir du délivrable ? FORCAS est sûrement une association duniversitaires distingués et très respectables. Mais il est pour la FMAI clair que leur intérêt et leur engagement pour lInternet est très faible pour ne pas dire inexistant. Ce que nous devons éviter, cest davoir des ALS comptabilisées pour AFRALO, mais qui sont absolument inactives et qui ne participent en rien à laction de notre RALO. Les ALS déjà existantes et qui sont trop silencieuses posent déjà un problème majeur pour AFRALO, et aussi pour dautres RALO, et une réflexion est engagée depuis un moment au niveau dALAC pour soit dynamiser ces ALS, soit, au cas où elles restent insensibles aux efforts déployés, reconsidérer leur accréditation ---------------------------------- Dear all, Now that several ALSes expressed their opinion about FORCAS application, and just before the transmission of AFRALO advise to ALAC, I would like to give you the opinion of my ALS about this application: The FMAI believes that FORCAS shouldnt be accredited for the following reasons: · Nothing in the mission of this association has any relationship with Internet · The first application included basic elements against FORCAS accreditation. Thinking that its perhaps a misunderstanding of the questions, we asked them precise questions with explanation, but their answers didnt elucidate the issues. It was only after we wrote to them for the third time that they provided an application that could be receivable. · Their reaction to our various mails was very slow, and reminders with fixed deadlines were necessary for receiving responses. If today, that they are requesting to join AFRALO, they dont pay attention to respond to our requests for clarification in a timely manner, what would be their level of involvement when it comes to work and provide outcomes ? FORCAS is surely an association of distinguished and very respectful academicians. But for the FMAI, its clear that their interest and their commitment for Internet is very low if not nonexistent. We must avoid to have ALSes accounted for AFRALO, that are totally inactive and do nothing to participate in the action of our RALO. The already existing ALSes that are very quiet have become a major problem for AFRALO, and also for the other RALOs. A reflection is being made for a while at ALAC to revive those ALSes, or, if they remain insensitive to the efforts done, to reconsider their accreditation.
