[Community-Discuss] [members-discuss] Update on legal case

[Owen DeLong]

If that’s the case, why doesn’t the AFRINIC board simply state that as the source of their funding?

Why the secrecy?

It is my strong suspicion that this is not the source of their current funding.

Regardless of the source, there is no valid reason for the lack of transparency.

And most especially, I think the community deserves clarity about the identified "alternative means" as we would all like to know more about these projected financial actions. I hope that we can observe more efforts from AFRINIC to ensure transparency on its decisions and on whatever action it may choose to commit.
