[Community-Discuss] South Africa ISPA Statement on Recent AFRINIC developments

[Patrice Donzelot]

Hi Ish

As M. Delong mentioned, he told me CI is his company's client. But it was not mentioned in the first email I got. In a reply, I ask him which relation he has with CI. I hope it helps.

Hi Patrice,

I am looping you in a discussion thread on the AFRINIC mailing list [1] which
has a public archive.

As per Owen Delong's below statement, it seems that he didn't conceal that he
is a consultant for Cloud Innovation Ltd and that you « perhaps » chose not to
print that information in the Défimedia [1] article.

For the sake of transparency, can you tell us whether Owen's professional
relationship with Cloud Innovation Ltd was disclosed to you or not?

Regards,
