Leo,

That looks very interesting. I had hoped to attend, but unfortunately something has cropped up that I can't get out of. Hopefully someone from the team will be able to attend?

“Public Persecution vs. Constructive Criticism on AFRINIC mailing
lists”

Dear Community members,

AFRINIC would  like to invite you to an upcoming webinar to consult
with its community on the topic of ‘’Public Persecution vs.
Constructive Criticism on AFRINIC mailing lists”, scheduled on
Thursday 4 March 2021.

After several concerns raised from community members on the virulence
of exchanges on AFRINIC mailing lists, AFRINIC had to make very
difficult decisions regarding how to best apply the community code of
conduct to the public mailing lists in an attempt to safeguard the
community from being subject to these inappropriate behaviours while
allowing people to express thoughts and critics freely.
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fafrinic.net%2Fcode&data=04%7C01%7C%7C4f772421391c4e27b4e208d8d8f4defe%7Ccd9e8269dfb648e082538b7baf8d3391%7C0%7C0%7C637497893529971089%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2FncfP83R9x%2BYGDSGWHPknB4OqhLj%2B2P0Ba6kbqRwfwk%3D&reserved=0

AFRINIC does not take such decisions lightly and is in need of
guidance from the community on the best way moving forward on dealing
with the cases that clearly mix public harassment with useful
feedback.

Community members are invited to discuss measures to foster a safe and
all-inclusive environment where community members, volunteers as well
as AFRINIC staff feel supported and comfortable serving this community
and exchanging ideas without the fear of being publicly harassed and
personally attacked.

It is key that we as a community have clear guidelines that allow us
to prevent constructive criticism from turning into public persecution
and slander. This is key to the creation of a safe and dynamic
environment where opinions and ideas can flow freely and openly
without fear of attack.,


Time:

    • 10:00 - 12:00  UTC (Ghana, Côte D'Ivoire)
    • 11:00 - 13:00 UTC WAT (Nigeria, Cameroon)
    • 14:00 - 16:00 UTC SAST (South Africa, Eswatini, Lesotho)
    • 15:00 - 17:00 UTC EAT (Kenya, Uganda)

how AFRINIC manages mailing lists
