Owen, even though you are steadfastly claiming that you have no direct
involvement with NRS, as I have previously noted, and as you yourself
confirmed, Lu Heng was, at the very least, involved in its creation.

I wonder then if you would be so kind as to reach out and see if you can
find out, on behalf of us all, the identity of the freckled Irishman who
plays the starring role in most or all of the NRS YouTube propaganda videos.
I, for one, would be very interested to know just who the hell he is.  Except
for the fact that he still has both ears he is a dead ringer for the long
deceased painter Vincent van Gogh and I can't help wondering if there is
some relation (although van Gogh had no children, as far as I know).

I really would like to know who that guy is, but it does seem that he makes
no effort whatsoever, in any of his numerous over-the-top defamatory
propaganda videos, to even introduce himself, much less the author(s) of
the script(s) he is reading from.

Why is that?  Is he perhaps so ashamed of what he's doing that even as a
hired actor he doesn't want his own name associated with any of this rubbish?

I must remark also on the marvelously ironic humor of watching this particular
and exceptionally white guy preaching his bought & paid for gospel of how to
save the African Internet.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have, I confess, seen the sun directly
only much lss often than I used to.  And thus, being caucasian as I am, these
days I am even more pale than usual.  But this freckled Irishman in the NRS
videos makes even me look like Meghan Markle by way of comparison.  And this
particular fellow wants to lecture Africans on how best to run the African
portion of the Internet???

Forgive me.  It is not my intent to bring race into this.  Not by any means.
It is just that I am more than a little troubled by the fact that this fellow,
who is the only voice and only star in all of the NRS videos, looks and sounds
about as African as your typical Eskimo.  So I kind-of would like to know who
he is and where he is speaking from.  I'd also like to be able to ask him
directly if he has ever even set foot in Africa.

It's OK if he hasn't of course.  He has a right to his opinions just as you
or I have.  But if one is going to verbosely and vividly proselytize on the
topic of what is best or Africa, then I think that one should at least state
one's name and the reasons for such a personal interest.  This guy hasn't,
and thus he remains a mystery man... a total enigma.

Owen, can you find out who he is and let as all know?  An email address or
phone number would be helpful also.  Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, and based on at least some evidence, it is altogether self-
evident that NRS is yet another entity created by Lu Heng to serve his
evident interests.

He's on this mailing list.  If he wants to deny that, then let him come here
and do that.

I do not believe that NRS sprung, like the goddess Athena, magically from
the brow of Zeus.  It required funding and organization and also the
motivation to provide both.  Its goals would certainly appear to be 100%
in alignment with Lu Heng's goals and (financial) motivations.  The timing
of its creation (the domain name nrs.help was registered on 2021-08-06)
and its alleged physical location (Hong Kong) also provide some rather
obvious clues.

Owen, it is easy enough for you to claim some ignorance or innocence with
regards to the unambiguously underhanded tactics of the people behind NRS,
but you will have trouble convincing me me that you aren't earning your
daily bread by working for these exact same unethical people, even if
you may only be doing so under a different one of the several corporate
names that Lu Heng has registered for his expansive operations.

If a mere multiplicity of corporate facades is enough of a basis to assuage
your conscience, then all I can say is that you have a rather more pliant
sense of ethics than I.

I do not know to what extent NRS is driven by Lu or not. I do know that he
was involved in its creation and I told him at the time that I wanted nothing
to do with it because I did not think that the intended mission was a good idea
and NRS has done nothing to make me think any better of it since that time.

In business, we all end up working with/for people who do things we don’t like.

I don’t work for or have anything to do with NRS and I don’t work for defense
contractors and the like.

I honestly don’t know. I share the same suspicions you state above, but
I really literally do not know. I will refer you to one of your own statements

This is a quite slippery response Owen, since it is, I believe, altogether
clear and apparent that the same single party is the driving force and the
person who ultimately signs the checks for both Cloud Innovation and NRS,

Sorry, but I must disagree that it is something else.

As I stated to someone – there was a time when people stepped outside of the 
bylaws that on minor issues it would be overlooked – but the time has come and 
gone when there can be no more affordances granted – because the boards actions 
have placed the members in a position where now, every action will be 
questioned to be sure it is in line with the bylaws to the letter.

I point out that the website itself was updated with the new chair and vice 
chair – yet it also still shows the other directors as current – they aren’t. 
Despite an update having been done to that page that updates the chair and vice 
chair.

I point out that the extension of term for the vice chair was disputed – and 
the board minutes clearly show that it was disputed – and also clearly indicate 
that there were conflicting legal opinions about if it was even legal to do 
what the board did in extending that term – and now – despite that – the board 
went and made him vice chair against a resolution that is, at best, legally 
dubious since it is an open question if he is still legally a director – and I 
suspect that will be heard in court once the issue of the election challenges 
is heard properly.

So yes – people are asking questions – and not without cause – questions that 
every member has a right to – and probably should – be asking at every stage.

I am certain the CEO and the board have read your fair questions and
without doubt they shall respond, however, the claims of lack of quorum by
some is what I was referring to in respect to the bylaws which I attempted
to explain and Mark Elkins did us a service to paste the said section for

2022-06-08 Thread Andrew Alston via Community-Discuss
On the contrary Noah,

No one is “throwing shade” – we are asking the board to confirm that the 
process was correctly followed. Which, considering the events of the AGMM and 
the blatant violations of the bylaws that occurred there – is a very fair 
question to ask.

And – if you dispute there were blatant violations of the bylaws in the context 
of the AGMM – Please, let me know – I will quote you chapter and verse as to 
exactly where they happened.

Just so that people are clear... Page 30 of the AfriNIC Bylaws image 
cut from the PDF.


Thus if there are at least three Board Members, if one leaves the room - 
the last two can call a meeting, see that there is no quorum, send 
notice to the third, adjourn the meeting and then after at least 24 
hours, conduct a meeting in quorum assuming then that there are at least 
three Board members. If this happens - it must be minuted.
