For the record, we were unable to even find out who, specifically, had
denied our valid and legitimate requests for unredacted WHOIS data.

We would certainly like to know if the AFRINIC Policy Coordinator either
made or influenced the decision to reject our reasonable requests.

As far as we are concerned, those requests are still pending.
