[Community-Discuss] Call for AFRINIC’s registry service migration to other RIRs

[Brian Sowers]

Frank,

Cloud Innovation dropping all it lawsuits is akin to ignoring a major problem because it is slightly annoying for the bystanders. Tolerating a single offense gives the offender affirmation that it can continue to do said action. Do you remember back in elementary school when your dad told you to punch the bully back or else he/she would keep bothering you? Same scenario. Expecting the bully—in this case, AFRINIC Cloud Innovation— to suddenly comply and respect Cloud’s rights is nonsensical. Worded another way, is a corrupt police officer going to arrest himself? Shockingly, this has turned into a mass case of Stockholm Syndrome affecting the Cloud’s dissidents. Cloud is perfectly in its  rights navigating through the legal system to maintain its defense against AFRINIC. I’d rather have one acute headache than a chronic one if given the chance.
