[AfrICANN-discuss] Ombudsman asks DCA to simmer down after .africa conflict of interest complaint

[Nigel Roberts]

Uniforum is not a trust.

Its corporate ownership is a matter of public record under the law of 
the Republic of South Africa and can be looked up on the public record.

Trusts are not "in the public domain". In fact in my jurisdiction, 
trusts are marketed precisely because of their secrecy.

So, please, the following questions arise, in line with ICANN 
Transparency Principles ..

Who are the trustees?
What is the proper law of the trust?
Who are the beneficial owners?

These questions must be answered, and in public, as otherwise DCA Trust 
will autotmatically fail in its bid due to ICANN's requirements to do 
due diligence on crime, terrorism and moneylaundering.
