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.
