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


Hi Owen,
...brother, thanks for you email.

Please add the context; then you'll become less confused :'-(

No, with the context, I still do not understand how a simple question constitutes an attempt
to kill an RIR. Indeed, I find that it is people who are resistant to the idea of questioning an
organization that are most likely to lead to said organizations demise or worse, its
descent into corruption and malfeasance.


Is AFRINIC so fragile that it cannot withstand a simple question of its consent


AfriNIC needs to be defended these hard times and it appears that some of us
are doing very well *our* common duty (protecting our RIR against 'predators')
as a *community*. (You should have been proud of them :'-()

...i found it admirable! and i wouldn't like to cross their way; while they are
defending AfriNIC...not you? Feel free to continue to defend your champion,
though...


>From my perspective I am attempting to defend AFRINIC and it’s member base

and community from a staff and board which are determined to violate the
rules as written.




and cooperation in a process initiated by third parties allegedly on its behalf?


Question already answered here [1]! please let's know if it isn't enough for you.

I didn’t say that the question wasn’t adequately answered. I questioned the person
who characterized the asking of the question as an attempt to kill the RIR for that
act.


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


Owen, could you, please, elaborate a bit more on the above?
...i can not wait to hear what you are predicting for the Future of AfriNIC [6]
and of the RFC7020. Please, be examplarily transparent :'-(
Don't run away!

Because of my current role, I cannot further comment on the ongoing legal battle at this time.

I predict errata will be filed against RFC-7020 because it claims to document the current state
of the RIR system at the time of writing and the statement that global providers universally deal
with multiple RIRs has incorrect implications and is not entirely accurate. There are plenty of
global networks that deal with a single RIR and even those that deal with multiple RIRs do
not necessarily deal with the RIR for each and every region where they operate.

There is widespread use of addresses from every RIR in other regions, including a lot of address
space in use within Africa that is issued by ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC.

Owen
