Dear colleagues,
We are aware that a number of members have recently received outreach from an
external group known as the Number Resource Society (NRS), inviting
participation in online meetings and encouraging the signing of a Power of
Attorney (PoA).
We take this opportunity to remind all members to remain vigilant when
approached by third parties seeking to represent their interests in AFRINIC
matters or requesting the delegation of any rights or responsibilities.
While each member is free to engage with external organisations at their
discretion, we strongly encourage you to:
Carefully review any requests involving the signing of a PoA or similar
documents that may assign decision-making authority to another entity.
Be aware that AFRINIC has no affiliation with NRS or any other party and does
not endorse any claims or communications made by them regarding AFRINIC
elections, membership fees, or governance.
Verify any important updates - such as election timelines or procedural changes
- through official AFRINIC communications or the office of the Court-appointed
Receiver.
Any legal or procedural decisions concerning your membership and resource
rights should be made with a full knowledge and understanding of the
implications. We are committed to ensuring transparency and will continue to
provide timely updates through official channels.
If you have received such communications and have questions or concerns, we
encourage you to reach out directly to the AFRINIC Secretariat or the
Receiver’s office for clarification.
Thank you for your continued attention and your active role in maintaining a
secure and collaborative Internet ecosystem for our region.
Kind regards,
G. Dabee
Receiver
