[DCAD] Call for Mentor: DCAD Fellowship Program for IGF2025

[Nicodemus Nyakundi]

Dear Kayanga Peter,

Responding your recent response to the Call for Mentor: DCAD Fellowship
Program for IGF2025 thread. Your comments are uncalled for, unprofessional,
and contained personal attacks and threats directed towards members of the
DCAD leadership.

I understand that everyone has the right to express their opinions freely.
However, it is crucial to remember that freedom of speech does not extend
to harassment, intimidation, or the use of abusive language.

This platform is intended to be a space for constructive dialogue,
respectful exchange of ideas, and collaborative efforts towards digital
inclusion, and accessibility. Your actions undermine these objectives. A
united and respectful community is essential for achieving our shared goals.

Furthermore, I want to remind you that you have the freedom to leave this
listserv at any time if you feel that it no longer serves your interests.

I wish to urge you to reconsider your approach to online communication and
to refrain from engaging in any further disruptive or disrespectful
behavior.

Sincerely,
*Nicodemus Nyakundi*
*Digital Accessibility for PWDs*
