Why should a set of justifications for large IP space blocks that were submitted 7 or 8 years ago still be in any way "confidential" *today* and here in 2021? Haven't you told us, repeatedly, that yes, Cloud Innovation's IP space is nowadays being used in entirely different manner and for entirely different purposes than it was when it was all first granted? If not then why did you yourself assert that the -original- IP space justifications are "no longer relevant"? If the space is all being used in a totally different way now than how it was originally being used back in 2013 and 2014... which seems to be just about the only fact that both Cloud Innovation and AFRINIC agree on... then what's the big secret? Why not just show us the original justifications? That original justification documentation is utterly irrelevant to Cloud Innovation's *current* business and to Cloud Innovation's *current* business model, so where is the harm in just showing us that stale, old, and "irrelevant" stuff? >> The only scrap of information that has, so far, been made pubic about that >> decision process is that the decision(s) to grant Cloud Innovation two >> /11 blocks and two /12 blocks were NOT made by the Board at the time, >> but rather by "staff".

So the Board at the time DID NOT weight in on the first two allocations that Cloud Innovation got, correct? That decision was made strictly and only by "staff", yes? (Again, there were claims made to that effect... PUBLIC claims... back at the time, i.e. that the allocation decisions had been made by "staff" and -not- reviewed by the board. I will try to find the links for you if you doubt it. I think that I saved those in one of my investigation files.) Remind me please... Who was the ultimate head of "staff" at the time? I'm talking about 2013 and 2014. My memory seems to be failing me.
