[Community-Discuss] Fwd: AFRINIC-31 Meeting

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

I don’t think this will be acceptable.

 

We like it or not we should not ban anyone to come to the meetings, unless they violate code of conduct or anything similar that we have for the meetings. Of course, unless in our code of conduct we state explicitly that anyone using the whois or collecting emails from the lists will be ban to participate in the meetings.

 

Of course, what it can be done, but this is up to individual decision of each AFRINIC meeting participant is to tell them “sorry, you’re a spammer and violate people privacy collecting their emails, I’m not doing to talk to you, go away from me”. Be sure that I will do that, if they approach me!

 

That said, I’m completely against SPAM, and collecting emails. There is no *any* valid reason you can use emails even if they are in whois, or whatever, for marketing. That’s spam.

 

In the case of EU citizens or residents, if I get any of those marketing emails, you can make sure that will open a case in the Data Protection Agency, and it typically means a fine of up to 20.000.000 Euros. This apply also to some countries that signed the GDPR, such as Mauritius. In the last few years (even before GDPR, as we had a similar framework, with fines of up to 600.000 Euros), I’ve initiated about 2.000 claims, so I know very well how easy (and online with a digital certificate) is to do that. As a consequence they will get their compliance with the GDPR checked and a fine according to the level of lack of compliance and the actions against GDPR that they have done (such as collecting emails without an explicit authorization of the owner, or sending spam without an explicit consent).

 

I don’t know if other countries from AFRINIC service region also signed it, but even if not, there may be specific regulations protecting your privacy or against spam, in each country.

 

Regards,

Jordi

if we all agreed that the reasons they want to attend AFRINIC is not welcoming, can we be more proactive and stop them from attending or at least stop them from conveying the message to the community ?

The best solution is simply to make sure to avoid doing business with them. Eventually they get the hint, especially if you tell them flat out that you don’t do business with spammers.

I agree with you on the bad taste.  

 

Have many words to add but time to breathe in and out and constrain oneself

Not sure if anyone else has received these... 

I am probably old school, but these kinds of things leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Greetings,

 

Hope this email finds you well!

I'm representing IPv4 Services, a registered broker in RIPE, ARIN and APNIC. We are attending at AFRINIC 31 in Luanda, Angola, and would be a pleasure to meet people that are open to a potential collaboration regarding IPv4 resources.

We are planning to establish new connections and find AFRINIC based business partners for selling/leasing/purchase of IPv4 addresses.

NOTE - if you are interested please feel free to contact me with any questions.

 

See you at the event.
