Hi Jordi I also find it unusual - but I am not sure either you or I are in a position to opine.
Amreesh gave a perfectly reasoned explanation of what *might* be the case and I am not sure that arguing the issue changes anything. Maybe you can go argue the issue with the Mauritian Competition Authorities …. or try propose AFRINIC moves to a different jurisdiction and see how far you get. Out of interest, in South Africa a competition complaint would not be public at the initial phases either and if the Authorities found that there was no basis for the complaint, they may publish a one line finding. However if either party claimed confidentiality - they would not even publish a finding. So this is not particularly unusual in an African context and I am not sure I agree with your suggestion that in Europe all complaints are public. The only complaints that I am aware of that are public are those initiated by the competition authorities themselves and not those based on competitor or third party complaints. Still, I appreciate the lecture on how democracy should work.
