Mike, that’s fair, but that framework is also set up such that icann performs 
its functions related to the ASO entirely under policies and dirrctives issued 
to it by the NRO/ASO (although formally ratified by the ICANN board), and 
that’s why I used the term puppet.

1- I’m not claiming to be a community member. I am a community member,
whether you like it or not..

2- Again, what stability? I’m just taking part of a discussion. If you
really perceive my words and opinion as something that can bring down a
whole community, then I must say I am impressed. (But hey seriously, I once
again assure you that I am just expressing my thoughts. I honestly don’t
understand why people get offended when they’re  free to disagree and move
on.)

3- Africa is better off without Afrinic’s problems.

No it isn't! What is obvious is you claiming to be here as a community member 
but working so hard to bring down the stability of the same community you claim 
to belong to.

Africa is Afrinic and Afrinic is Africa.

A person (Afrinic) who has children (African Internet Ecosystem) will never 
Perish.

Like Lamiaa pointed out the goal still evidently remains the same but the
method at which we aim to achieve it is and might be different but securing
the continent is a top priority.

In addition, let’s stop this naming callings that has been happening on
this thread and on other threads and focus on having an educated and
learned conversation without violating the CoD.

Thanks,

Re: [Community-Discuss] ICANN ( NRO ) vs LARUS (NRA)

Hi Sylvain

I respectfully disagree.

ICANN is a convenience through which the RIR’s operate.

The rest of the NRO recognised AfriNIC and could have done so without ICANN 
involvement - had they so chosen. 

As it is - the NRO fulfils the role of ASO within ICANN and it could terminate 
the ASO / NRO nexus at any time with little to no impact. 

Did you miss this in RFC 7020:

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) *is a role, not an
  organization*.  For the Internet Numbers Registry System, the IANA
  role manages the top of the IP address and AS number allocation
  hierarchies.  The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
  Numbers (ICANN) *currently fulfills the IANA role" in accordance
  with the IETF-ICANN "Memorandum of Understanding Concerning
  Technical Work of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority", which
  was signed and ratified in March 2000

It is the RIRs who chose ICANN and not the other way around.

Without any hesitation, our continent always comes first. Unfortunately, if
some other members weren’t so obsessed with diverting the scenario due to
their personal motives and conflicts, you should clearly see that the goal
remains the same, and the only difference is the way to achieve it.

The mailing list is now bombarded with useless threads, but as I’ve
mentioned elsewhere, Africa and its Internet deserve better than what
AFRINIC’s poor decisions and management are putting them through.

I am sure that Africa isn’t short of highly qualified and competent firms
that can benefit our Internet better than AFRINIC. So yes, Africa has
always and will always have my support, but not AFRINIC..

Hi Mike

Thank you for your reply and opinion on the matter.

I am personally offended by Owens choice of words against ICANN.

The existence of an RIR is only possible through ICANN ICP-2  and for him
to refer to ICANN as a puppet is offending.

AFRINIC would not have existed without the ICANN structures.

Re: [Community-Discuss] ICANN ( NRO ) vs LARUS (NRA)

2021-08-02 Thread Mike Silber
Hi Noah

Without getting into the content of your mail and without endorsing the 
specific language chosen by Owen: The RIRs are independent and ICANN does not 
in any way direct or control the RIRs.

The RIRs chose to operate within the ICANN framework, however can move the NRO 
/ ASO out of ICANN at any time (including moving the contract out of PTI as 
well).

So I would not characterise ICANN as “puppet” of the NRO - but rather a 
framework within which an independent NRO choses to operate. That may be a 
distinction without a difference - so I am not offended by Owen’s choice of 
words.

Mike
