[ripe-list] Endorsement of Afrinic board candidates

Hi RIPE ASO/AC delegates,

I just read the following on the Afrinic community mailing list, and got a bit concerned:

> My name is Wafa Dahmani from Tunisia, an active member of the African community and more specifically AFRINIC: member of the appeal committee; ASO / AC excom member and Ex Chair of Governance Committee '(GC) at AFRINIC.
> I contact you to solicit your votes for the following candidates:

> [etc]

While she doesn't explicitly state that she is soliciting votes on behalf of the ASO/AC, it does seem to imply it.

I found it hard to believe that the ASO/AC would agree with this statement as sent by Wafa. I know questions about this have already been sent to the ASO/AC, but I would like some feedback from our own delegates. I wonder whether you were aware of this and what your positions on this are. I suspect that this was not something agreed to by the ASO/AC, or at least not by our own delegates, but I would like that confirmed please :)

I though long whether to cross-post this to the ripe-list and in the end decided that I should, for transparency's and accountability's sake.

Cheers,
Sander
