I encourage you to look at numbered items 3, 4, 5, and 6 in which Taiwo has
generously provided a concise description of the current administration’s
actions. As for its past historical actions described by 1
Bukola,
A mailing list is a sounding board for members to voice their opinions.
Normally I wouldn’t care about this initiative, but unless AFRINIC undergoes a
change of culture away from its history of fraud, opaqueness, and scandals, I
will continue to voice my opinion. Why send funds to an
One pressing question that may undermine this “initiative”: has AFRINIC agreed
to this process? While this is an initiative from certain resource members in
the community, there needs to have been explicit consent from AFRINIC because
it cannot fully account for these donations if ever. Who has
I will just add, it appears that AFRINIC is likewise asking the same question
of “How do we move from here,” following its ineffectiveness at court
yesterday. I hope that AFRINIC’s legal team is working pro bono. We all know
that legal fees add up quickly and the whole “get what you pay for”
More will be revealed on Aug 13 after the court makes its decision. Hopefully
it acts swiftly for Africa’s benefit— which is distinctly separate from
AFRINIC’s benefit. I just wonder how long members will sit idly by and watch
everything from corruption to malfeasance occur in AFRINIC.
Very eloquently said. In short, AFRINIC bungles or botches every
decision/policy. From Ernest to this present-day litigation with Cloud, it is
evident AFRINIC does not have Africa’s best internet interests at heart.
Rather, AFRINIC is more so interested in power and control; it is self-serving.
Ronald,
Ah yes, the great african heist—your claim to fame. Did RIPE or AFRINIC ever
express their thanks for your great work?

I hope so, because then something else would have to
Noah,
Your name calling doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s clear that whatever
AFRINIC presented in court did not immediately clear their name. And yes, I am
a ghost. I am neither here nor there but am beside you even as you sleep.
Perhaps when you will have woken up this morning, I
Sooo in reading between the lines AFRINIC, in its defense against this lawsuit,
failed to offer any exculpatory evidence to unfreeze its bank account. The
court is simply adjourning a week and a half later to deliberate again. This is
part of the legal bureaucratic headache I’ve criticized
Frank,
Cloud Innovation dropping all it lawsuits is akin to ignoring a major problem
because it is slightly annoying for the bystanders. Tolerating a single offense
gives the offender affirmation that it can continue to do said action. Do you
remember back in elementary school when your dad

The transfer policy makes sense. AFRINIC should facilitate considerable
latitude and agency for resource members to determine their own risks involved
and whether to continue or not. Ratify the existing consensus Resource Transfer
Policy.

The effect from the NRO activating their stability fund for AFRINIC’s behalf
will be twofold. First, it will certainly alleviate—in a disclosed and stable
manner—AFRINIC’s financial shortcomings to allow for it to continue operations.
Second, the call for help from NRO certainly draws more
Ronald F. Guilmette,
I’ll admit I had difficulty reading your response because it consisted of so
many logical fallacies. The community discussion board is only as useful as
it’s discussions, obviously, and the composition of your response fails to meet
that end. 1: You straw man Paul’s
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your time at AFRINIC. No one blames you for no longer wanting to
deal with AFRINIC’s asinine politics. That said, how significant a cause was
the “Assisted Review” program for your resignation?
If anything, the frozen bank account should be the final nail in the coffin for
AFRINIC’s realization that it made a serious mistake with Cloud’s IP space. Now
for this alternate means of funding, I think it’s crucial for the community to
understand how stable they are. And with this
Many of the items in the CoC are open and broad (13 being the most broad), and carry the expectation that the community comprises adults that behave accordingly. The ‘good faith’ with which AFRINIC expects its members to act with will have to go both ways, as Owen pointed out the CoC can easily

For AFRINIC to be able to operate under “questionable circumstances” without consequence save from the community board is quite difficult to believe. There really needs to be more interaction between the operations of AFRINIC and an independent inspecting agency. Recent decisions from the AFRINIC
Discussion Board,
Under which conditions does AFRINIC determine that IP spaces are not being
utilized? The determination to cancel Cloud Innovations' membership seems
arbitrary and unclear at the moment. A direct explicit reason as to how
