Legal proceedings are never rushed.

Perhaps you missed all the Pro-AFRINIC public statements that various
African Internet bodies made in support of AFRINIC.

AFRINIC might not be able to access its own funds today but that does not
mean that there are no other alternatives.

AFRINIC during her inception in the earlier days had no money. AFRINIC was
supported financially by African Institutions  to operate and perhaps this
is the part of Pro-AFRINIC history you do not know about.


what other alternatives there are to AFRINIC. Africa,

The Af* organisations that have collaborated with AFRINIC for over 20 years
including African Governments.

AFRINIC is not alone as it forms part of the Af* organisations that are
willing to come together and support AFRINIC through financial donation so
as to continue running its core functions and operations.

The ISP associations are the other alternative and ANGOLA ISPA, TISPA,
multiple IXPs across Africa and all those Af* organisations and NRENs and
other members of the wider Internet community in Africa.

The donations shall start with even myself as an individual. I just need to
know which 3rd party supplier AFRINIC uses and I will make payments to them
directly online via VISA or MASTERCARD.

That is "Ubuntu".

Cheers
