[Community-Discuss] Notice to all the legacy netblocks holders in AfriNIC

Noah,

The Code of Conduct didn't apply to me for almost a year, even AfriNIC CEO himself defamed me here in this mailing list according to my link with his quote.

While in the legal case, AfriNIC CEO didn't show anything to back up his defamation towards me, on the contrary - in the legal case AfriNIC is intentionally hiding information from the community, such as enforcing the "adopted policies" over any legacy netblock (that didn't sign RSA).

Why AfriNIC CEO is playing such game? Who is he protecting in AfriNIC?

"Let us have a civilized discourse for we are a polite community." - So why did you let Ronald Guilmette to spread his lies for such long time ? the only thing he does anywhere is to spread racism, hate, defamation and doubt with very bad intentions.

Not a single word from Ronald Guilmette regarding all the /11's and /16's that were spread for "free" by AfriNIC to a single entity, quoting Ronald's friend Owen DeLong (which is receiving money from that single entity, according to his own words): "Nothing to see here".

Kind Regards,
Elad

Elad

The Code of Conduct is there to stop such defamation. Since its been invoked, its a call to both you and Roland to calm down.

The reasons I am calling your back and forth exchange crap is because am on other lists where I have seen you both go on each other just like you were attempting to do here and its not new to some of us.

Let us have a civilized discourse for we are a polite community.

That is all am saying.

Noah

Noah,

All I'm doing is to respond to an organized defamation campaign against me.

I take it as an offence when you reference my response as "crap" after my blood was spilled here in community-discuss mailing list for almost a year, without you raising your voice when my blood was spilled here for such long time. To the point that I needed to start a legal case against AfriNIC because my blood was spilled here.

Kind Regards,
Elad

This two have been going on each other for a while now and for those on other lists like NANOG etc we have read enough of their crap esp when they go personal and its just that we didnt expect to see the same crap on the AFRINIC lists.

So its good that AFRINIC invoked the CoC which can come in handy.

Better they stick to issues if they both want further engagement with this polite and hospitable community.

I would be happy to debate the truth or falsehood of that proposition
with you at some appropriate moment. (Not just now. I have other
things to attend to.)

It is likely true that the RIR system has served, like the Pax Americana
of the late 20th century and the Pax Romana before it, to prevent all-out
violent confrontations between otherwise opposing factions. But this
is not the only possible definition of the word "successful", and there
have been glaring and evident problems... in the AFRINIC region, in the
ARIN region, in the RIPE region, and elsewhere. To simply and unilaterally
declare that "This model of governance is good. End of discusssion." is
not entirely persuasive in the present context.

And although the industry may view this model as having been fantastically
successful at keeping various governments largely or entirely at bay and
largely or entirely out of the Internet regulation business (which even
I would agree is a profoundly Good Thing) the industry, such as it is,
is going to have to come to terms someday with that fact that secrecy
and the shrouding of every detail underneath a gigantic blanket of
NDAs neither promotes good governance nor is compatible with the ever
increasing dependency of society as a whole on this utility we call the
Internet, a utility whose underlying business arrangement have, by design,
been keep almost entirely opaque to the outside world.

The present pandemic has only increased the dependency of society on the
Internet, and thus it has also increased the need for more transparency
into these private business arragements, in the public interest.

rfg
