Dear AfRALO Chair, Thank you for the swift intervention. I join my voice to appeal to all parties for calm and no further response(s). Kind regards, Otunte Otueneh From: AFRI-Discuss [mailto:afri-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Mohamed El Bashir Sent: Tuesday, 9 July 2019 3:08 AM To: Afri-Discuss Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] The Expected Standard of Behavior Importance: High Dear All, AfRALO is a diverse community, certainly we will have different, opposing views and disagreements on policies, issues, and procedures, it's normal and healthy but It's concerning and sad to see the inflammatory emails exchange in the mailing list while any views can be expressed calmly and objectively. The language of the recently exchanged emails in different topics in then mailing list could have been more reasonable and informed without personal attacks and baseless accusations. We do require all our community members to adhere to ICANN’s Expected Standard of Behavior guidelines available here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/expected-standards-2012-05-15-en I recall a west African proverb that says: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far :-) , we can disagree, we can make mistakes but Lets respect each other and let's go far together. Thank you Best Regards, Mohamed Elbashir AfRALO Chair PGP Key Fingerprint : CB16 8424 887F BDFD F46E A235 18B3 833F 943F 3E7C Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hope4all/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/hope4alll
