[AfrICANN-discuss] Internet Governance session in Next AFRINIC Meeting

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

An Address Registry allocates and/or assigns Addresses and is not
involved in other Internet-related policy issues.

If I had to pay for an address block and they would use my funds for
unrelated purposes I'd probably try and do something about it.  It's
already enough that they are inflating their staffing to the extent
of employing a COO.

But then this is Africa, we like to travel...

...if others pay for it.
