Lauren,
It doesn’t hurt to commend somebody for an honorable thing they’ve done. I did not miss any of the lines. I read the email in its totality. Keep the community at peace, by stepping down or probably totally get off leadership – as investigations go on – I think that’s a good thing.. It is commendable. Besides, complementing the right move does not stop investigations or announce innocence. Even if he wasn’t, he’s innocent until proved guilty. Anyhow, I respect the fact that everyone needs to be treated with dignity, this includes us ladies in the work place. So I would rather, let justice take its course. Everyone has a right to defend themselves. Kind Regards, Gabriella. From: Mirriam [mailto:mirriamlau...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2018 10:45 PM To: Consolate Gabriella A.

My dear, unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that is offensive and unreasonably interfere with an employee's job performance or create an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment is not acceptable and had far reaching consequences for the organization which is why we are all finding ourselves in this rather sensitive situation. Let's call a spade a spade... Mirriam On Friday, March 16, 2018, 5:56:40 PM GMT+3, Consolate Gabriella A.

Since you say the claims are not true, I pray you will be vindicated of all this - with all due respect.

I believe the unity of the community is as important as the sanctity of the Board, and it is my responsibility to ensure none is compromised further. While I categorically deny any claims of any harassment levied at me, and believe these allegations are entirely spurious, I do acknowledge that I shared a chat (with the best intentions) which should have been treated with more caution, no matter how good the intention was. It is my responsibility to step down as Chair, pending the conclusion of the investigations on the harassment claims. May I most respectfully request that we await the independent investigation that the Board has initiated, and be patient, so that the community can come out of this strongest. I remain committed as a member of the community. I have prior to now, communicated my decision to my colleagues on the Board. I look forward to being allowed to defend myself, and justice being served for all, on the matter. With Kind Regards .... Sunday Folayan. _______________________________________________ Community-Discuss mailing list <mailto:Community-Discuss@afrinic.net> Community-Discuss@afrinic.net <https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss> https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss _______________________________________________ Community-Discuss mailing list <mailto:Community-Discuss@afrinic.net> Community-Discuss@afrinic.net <https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss> https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss
