[AfrICANN-discuss] AFRINIC Communique on ongoing litigations with Cloud Innovation

[AFRINIC Communication]

(Apologies for cross-posting, French version below)

 

Dear Colleagues,

In line with an article that appeared in the press in Mauritius, Le Defi 
Quotidien dated 05 August 2022, that was a purported reply by Cloud Innovation 
Ltd, that referred extensively to AFRINIC, insinuating unethical practices and 
lack of professionalism on the part of AFRINIC; as well as other information 
published online which are causing grave prejudice to AFRINIC.

AFRINIC wishes to respond to this by way of a communique published here>> 
https://afrinic.net/20220827-communique

We have also prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions on the litigations 
here>> https://afrinic.net/litigation-faq

List of all court cases involving AFRINIC is available 
here>>https://afrinic.net/court-cases 

AFRINIC strongly condemns all public attempts by Cloud Innovation and its 
associates which have for effect to cause reputational harm to it as the 
Regional Internet Registry for Africa. Accordingly, AFRINIC reserves the right 
to take such legal actions as it may be advised.

 

Thank  You.

 

Kind Regards,

 

AFRINIC Communications.

Communiqué d'AFRINIC sur les litiges en cours avec Cloud Innovation

 

Chers collègues,

 

Suite à un article paru dans la presse mauricienne le 5 août 2022, Article qui 
s'apparente à un droit de réponse de Cloud Innovation Ltd mais qui, en réalité, 
mentionne AFRINIC à de très nombreuses reprises, sous-entendant des pratiques 
contraires à l'éthique et un manque de professionnalisme de la part d'AFRINIC, 
ainsi que d'autres informations qui, de fait, portent gravement préjudice à 
l'organisation.

 

AFRINIC souhaite y répondre par le biais d'un communiqué publié ici>> 
https://afrinic.net/20220827-communique

 

Nous tenons à jour une Foire Aux Questions (FAQ) sur ce sujet, à l'adresse 
suivante: https://afrinic.net/litigation-faq

 

 

Pour plus de détails sur les litiges en cours, veuillez vous rendre à l'adresse 
suivante: https://afrinic.net/court-cases 

 

AFRINIC condamne fermement toutes les tentatives publiques de Cloud Innovation 
et de ses associés qui ont pour effet de porter atteinte à sa réputation en 
tant que Registre Internet régional pour l'Afrique. En conséquence, AFRINIC se 
réserve le droit de prendre les mesures légales qui lui seront conseillées.

 

Nous vous remercions.

 

Salutations distinguées,

 

AFRINIC Communications.

[AfrICANN-discuss] AFRINIC Enters IPv4 Exhaustion Phase 1

[AFRINIC Communication]

[French version will follow shortly]

Dear Colleagues,

On 31st March 2017, AFRINIC has approved a request for IPv4 resources that 
could not be fulfilled from the IPv4 address space available in the AFRINIC 
pool (with the exception of the final /8), triggering Phase 1 of IPv4 
Exhaustion. 

GUIDANCE FOR MEMBERS

AFRINIC Resource Members are kindly requested to familiarise themselves with 
the IPv4 Soft Landing policy as described in Section 5.4 of the Consolidated 
Policy Manual, which can be found here: 

www.afrinic.net/library/policies/1829-afrinic-consolidated-policy-manual. 

In addition to the policy itself, please refer to the following previous 
communiques:

• 16 January 2017, available at 
http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/news/1973-afrinic-is-approaching-ipv4-exhaustion-phase-1;
• 30 March 2017, available at 
http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/news/2049-ipv4-exhaustion-phase-1-imminent

To ensure timely evaluation of all Internet number resource requests, Members 
are requested to ensure that: 

• They are in good standing (all fees are paid up, and RSA duly signed)
• Submit complete IPv4 resource requests, including all information 
needed to verify policy compliance.
• Make arrangements for AFRINIC staff to check online statistics via 
screen sharing or similar methods, at a time between 06:00UTC and 11:30am UTC, 
Monday to Friday (between 10:00 and 15:30 Mauritius time (UTC+4)).
 
CHANGES TO POLICIES IN EXHAUSTION PHASE 1

Now that Exhaustion Phase 1 has begun, the current IPv4 policies continue to 
apply, but certain changes take effect:
 

• The minimum IPv4 allocation for LIRs will be /22, and the 
minimum IPv4 assignment for End User Members will be /24. (section 5.4.3.1).
• The maximum IPv4 allocation/assignment shall be /13 (section 
5.4.3.1).
• No explicit limit on the number of times an organisation may 
request additional IPv4 space (section 5.4.4).
• Allocation/assignment period (planning window) changes from 
12 months to 8 months (section 5.4.5).
• Existing Resource Members are eligible to get additional 
blocks of IPv4 address space if 90% efficient usage of all resources has been 
demonstrated (section 5.4.6.1).
• Use of AFRINIC IPv4 resources outside the AFRINIC service 
region should be solely in support of connectivity back to the AFRINIC region 
(section 5.4.6.2).
• A /12 IPv4 address block will be reserved from the final /8. 
This /12 IPv4 address block shall be preserved by AFRINIC for future uses, as 
yet unforeseen (section 5.4.7).

Please see the relevant sections in the Consolidated Policy Manual for more 
information: 
www.afrinic.net/library/policies/1829-afrinic-consolidated-policy-manual 

FUTURE COMMUNIQUES

AFRINIC will issue future communiques as necessary in order to keep the 
membership informed. Further, if you have any questions about IPv4 Exhaustion, 
please contact AFRINIC hostmasters on hostmas...@afrinic.net.

[AfrICANN-discuss] AFRINIC CEO Welcomes Launch of Madagascar IXP

[AFRINIC Communication]

Dear Colleagues,

AFRINIC CEO Alan Barrett today welcomes the launch of a new Internet Exchange 
Point (IXP) in Madagascar.

Mr. Barrett is attending Network Information Center Madagascar's (NIC-MG) 
"Journée de l'lnternet" ('Day of the Internet') to celebrate the launch of the 
IXP. The IXP, located in the Madagascan capital of Antananarivo, has been 
supported by the Internet Society and the African Union's AXIS project.

"This is another step forward for the African Internet," said Mr. Barrett. "The 
increase in the number of IXPs throughout our region is imperative to support 
an open, stable, and resilient Internet in Africa. Not only do IXPs help to 
decrease latency by keeping Africa's Internet traffic local to the region, they 
also help to reduce connectivity costs, which opens up access to many more 
people. This in turn helps to improve local content offerings and boosts both 
existing and new businesses, contributing to economic growth.”

AFRINIC also plays a leading role in capacity building and provides education, 
training to promote IPv6 deployment and support for infrastructure development 
throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean. A large part of these capacity building 
efforts involves collaborating with organisations - including the Internet 
Society, the African Union and local network operators - to support the set-up 
and deployment of IXPs throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean region.
