[Community-Discuss] FUNDRAISING & DONATIONS - TO KEEP AFRINIC RUNNING

[AMADU YUSIF]

I think we should concentrate more on how to support AFRNIC to stand on its feet during this crisis and ignore the doom prophets.

Dear Boubakar,

The wise elders have always advised  "never to bite the hand that feeds you" and I totally understand Owen Delong's silence :-) during these tough times. Honesty is not for the faint-hearted.

Mirriam.

I am confused… How is a question about consent an attempt to kill AFRINIC?

Is AFRINIC so fragile that it cannot withstand a simple question of its consent and cooperation in a process initiated by third parties allegedly on its behalf?

You were asked a simpler question and you fail to respond.

Boubakar


I would think not. If it is so fragile, then there are much bigger problems than its financial state.

I do not understand what is wrong with some members on this list. Their actions show they want to kill AFRINIC.
If they are not in support of sustainability - why don't they move to the other regions where they want to migrate or want the region to take over AFRINIC.
In the history of the creation of AFRINIC, AFRINIC was created to manage Resources that were designated to Africa.
So, those who want to use African resources in other regions, let them leave African resources and look for resources in those respective regions.
Otherwise, we are seeing IP colonialism, theft and robbery in broad daylight.

One pressing question that may undermine this “initiative”: has AFRINIC agreed to this process? While this is an initiative from certain resource members in the community, there needs to have been explicit consent from AFRINIC because it cannot fully account for these donations if ever. Who has received this consent from AFRINIC to push through with this initiative?
