[Community-Discuss] [arin-ppml] Update on Litigation Between AFRINIC and Cloud Innovation ltd

[Mathanya Ramaboea]

How is any press release obstructing the court's job and misleading
the community? Here it is obviously directed at CI's clients, which is a
normal move from any private company.

Judging from the info in the statement published, I think necessity of
update should come from both AFRINIC and CI now, because there seems to be
a serious development in the case that has been kept from the community and
we should have an idea in whose favour that would be
