Hi Ronald

Thanks for sharing this and the same can be said in this part of the world
where most of the victims affected are those hit by mobile money scammers.

Who gets to decide what constitutes a clear and persuasive statement?

Who watches the watchers?

Unless there are a well defined set of objective criteria for this and an appeal process
to the broader community, I think this proposal is seriously flawed and risks even
further distortion of the process, possibly by different participants than are currently
accused of distortion.

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Board minutes discrepancies...
Message-ID: <3EEB4C0D-1791-48F3-A75D-E50E3DCC2C3E@delong.com>

I note with interest in reviewing the board minutes from 24 November, 2021, the following items:

2.1.2 dated 8 November 2021
Resolution 202111.656

The board approved the minutes of the Board Meeting held on 8 November 2021.
Proposed BE. Seconded HY. Resolution passed unanimously.

While there are, indeed, minutes from that date, they are not minutes of a Board Meeting, but rather minutes of
a discussion wherein those present determined that the meeting had not met the requirements in order to hold
a board meeting and the discussion was then disbanded. No Board Meeting took place because no Board Meeting
was properly noticed and some Board Members did not make a timely response waiving notice.

As such, I believe the motion was improper and that the board should make a correction here.

========

On the other hand, there?s also:
2.1.3 dated 13 November 2021
Resolution 202111.657

The board approved the minutes of the Board Meeting held on 13 November 2021.
Proposed HY. Seconded BE. Resolution passed unanimously.

The web site where the other minutes are visible (including the ones from which I obtained
the above fragments) is here: https://afrinic.net/board/meeting/2021

It does not contain minutes for a meeting held on 13 November 2021. Only 8 November 2021
and 24 November 2021 have minutes on that page.

Could staff, the board, or whoever is responsible during the current phase of the moon please
provide the minutes of 13 November 2021 to the community?

Thanks,

Owen

	Court Update
Message-ID: <85EC5B16-6303-4848-988C-5D5AF49B072C@afrinic.net>

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf <https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf> 

This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA.

This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd?s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022.

To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal.

No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support. 


Kind Regards,

Chers coll?gues,

J'ai le plaisir de vous faire part de ce jugement rendu hier, 14 f?vrier 2022, dans l'affaire en appel r?f Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.

https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf <https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf>

Cette affaire a ?t? d?pos?e en r?ponse ? un courrier qu?AFRINIC a envoy? ? Cloud Innovation Ltd en date du 10 mars 2021 conform?ment aux dispositions du Registration Service Agreement (RSA), dans lequel l'AFRINIC soutenait que Cloud Innovation Ltd ?tait, et continue d'?tre, en infraction avec le RSA.

Cet appel d?coule de la demande d'injonction provisoire de Cloud Innovation Ltd, qui a ?t? initialement accord?e en sa faveur le 29 mars 2021, mais ensuite annul?e par l'honorable juge en chambre le 7 juillet 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd a fait appel de ce jugement, et l'audience a eu lieu le 27 janvier 2022.

En bref, la division d'appel de la Cour supr?me de Maurice a, apr?s avoir examin? les arguments des deux parties, rejet? l'appel. En d'autres termes, AFRINIC a gagn? cet appel.

Il s'agit sans aucun doute d'une ?tape essentielle pour l'AFRINIC, et nous souhaitons remercier l'?quipe et nos parties prenantes pour leur soutien continu.

Caros Colegas,

Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco a decis?o proferida ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.
https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf <https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf>

Este caso foi arquivado em resposta a uma carta que a AFRINIC enviou ? Cloud Innovation Ltd com data de 10 de Mar?o de 2021, em conformidade com as disposi??es do Acordo de Servi?o de Registo (RSA) em que a AFRINIC alegava que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em viola??o da RSA.

Este recurso decorre do pedido de injun??o provis?ria da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Mar?o de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Merit?ssimo Juiz das C?maras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa senten?a, e a audi?ncia teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022.

Para simplificar, a Divis?o de Apela??o do Supremo Tribunal das Maur?cias, ap?s ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou este recurso.

Sem d?vida, este ? um marco essencial para a AFRINIC, e gostar?amos de agradecer ? equipa e ?s nossas partes interessadas o seu apoio continuado.

Thanks for the update which you seem to be celebrating (if I read you
correctly). For those like me who are legalese-challenged, does this mean
that Cloud Innovation's resources are now effectively revoked? If I
remember correctly, all of this started with a notice that resources were
to be revoked at a certain date on the basis of non-compliance with
the RSA, right?

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR
 5C/30/21) Court Update

Message-ID: <95A1016C-1EBC-453C-91F7-FE017EC901CF@delong.com>

To be clear, the appeal was dismissed strictly on the grounds that the existing injunction essentially renders the appeal moot.

No judgment has yet been made by any court regarding the merits of the overall case.

It does not? The current injunction still stands. In fact, the standing of the current injunction is the basis on which the
judge ruled that the appeal was effectively moot and therefore dismissed it.

Thank you for your interesting analysis of the recent court judgement announced below by AFRINIC ?  could please you share some reference to the document that is the basis for your views?

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA.

This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd?s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022.

To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal.

No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support.

Chers coll?gues,

J'ai le plaisir de vous faire part de ce jugement rendu hier, 14 f?vrier 2022, dans l'affaire en appel r?f Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.

https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

Cette affaire a ?t? d?pos?e en r?ponse ? un courrier qu?AFRINIC a envoy? ? Cloud Innovation Ltd en date du 10 mars 2021 conform?ment aux dispositions du Registration Service Agreement (RSA), dans lequel l'AFRINIC soutenait que Cloud Innovation Ltd ?tait, et continue d'?tre, en infraction avec le RSA.

Cet appel d?coule de la demande d'injonction provisoire de Cloud Innovation Ltd, qui a ?t? initialement accord?e en sa faveur le 29 mars 2021, mais ensuite annul?e par l'honorable juge en chambre le 7 juillet 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd a fait appel de ce jugement, et l'audience a eu lieu le 27 janvier 2022.

En bref, la division d'appel de la Cour supr?me de Maurice a, apr?s avoir examin? les arguments des deux parties, rejet? l'appel. En d'autres termes, AFRINIC a gagn? cet appel.

Il s'agit sans aucun doute d'une ?tape essentielle pour l'AFRINIC, et nous souhaitons remercier l'?quipe et nos parties prenantes pour leur soutien continu.

Caros Colegas,

Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco a decis?o proferida ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.
https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

Este caso foi arquivado em resposta a uma carta que a AFRINIC enviou ? Cloud Innovation Ltd com data de 10 de Mar?o de 2021, em conformidade com as disposi??es do Acordo de Servi?o de Registo (RSA) em que a AFRINIC alegava que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em viola??o da RSA.

Este recurso decorre do pedido de injun??o provis?ria da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Mar?o de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Merit?ssimo Juiz das C?maras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa senten?a, e a audi?ncia teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022.

Para simplificar, a Divis?o de Apela??o do Supremo Tribunal das Maur?cias, ap?s ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou este recurso.

Sem d?vida, este ? um marco essencial para a AFRINIC, e gostar?amos de agradecer ? equipa e ?s nossas partes interessadas o seu apoio continuado.


Cumprimentos,

Hi Dewole,
Thanks for your email, brother :-)
...i'm samely challenged, though, but it's certainly
a good new for the stability of the whole INRS...
even if it turns out to be just temporary...btw, i
know someone, following up and, who could easily
 & freely explain the sustainable impact of what the
 honorable judges ruled out.

...i guess i can freely paste the first four pages below:

CLOUD INNOVATION LTD v AFRICAN NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE

(AFRINIC) LTD

2022 SCJ 51

Record No. 121865

THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS

In the matter of:-

Cloud Innovation Ltd

Appellant

v.

African Network Information Centre (Afrinic) Ltd

Respondent

-------------

JUDGMENT

This is an appeal against a judgment of the learned Judge in Chambers
delivered

on 7 July 2021 setting aside an application for injunctive relief.

At the hearing, the appellant dropped grounds 1(v), 2, 3 and 5 out of the 7

grounds of appeal. We, however, do not propose to deal with the merits of
the remaining

grounds of appeal for the reasons set out below.

During the hearing, reference was made to 2 other Judge in Chambers

applications as well as a ?main case?. As a superior Court of record, some
disturbing

features have now come to our attention. In the present case, the appellant
(then

applicant) had applied in essence for an injunction restraining and
prohibiting the

respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource
member of

the respondent (?the first application?). In the judgment delivered on 7
July 2021, the

learned Judge in Chambers upheld a preliminary objection raised by the
respondent and

set aside the first application with costs, hence the present appeal.


2

Subsequently, Court records reveal that the same appellant lodged a series
of

applications before different Judges sitting in Chambers on 12 July, 13
July,

3 September, 6 September, 26 November, 1 December and 3 December 2021. The

particulars of these applications and of the first application have been
set out in tabular

form in an annex to this judgment (Annex A).

>From a reading of all these applications, it is patently clear that the
appellant was

in effect praying for the same remedy in all of them, namely to restrain
and prohibit the

respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource
member of

the respondent. All the applications have been set aside except for the
ones lodged on

6 September 2021 and 3 December 2021.

For the purposes of this appeal, the application lodged on 3 December 2021
(?the

last application?) is of particular interest. In this application, the
learned Judge in

Chambers granted, ex parte, an interim order in the following terms:-

??. let an interim order in the nature of an injunction issue, restraining
and

prohibiting the respondent, either by itself, its agent, representatives or

pr?pos? from:

(i) acting in any manner whatsoever on or giving effect to its Board

Resolution of the 8th July 2021 or any similar Board resolution or its

letter of the 1st December 2021 or any other similar letter, in any

manner whatsoever, which has the effect of terminating the

membership of the applicant in the respondent as a Resource

Member; and

(ii) acting on or giving effect to its decision, in any manner whatsoever,

which has the effect of breaching the Undertaking of the

15th July 2021 in application bearing Serial No. 1040/2021.?

The matter has now been made returnable to show cause why the interim order

should not be made interlocutory ?pending the determination of the disputes
between the

parties?.

Learned Counsel for the appellant has invited us to quash the judgment in
the first

application and to remit it for consideration before a different Judge. We
are of the view

that this would serve no useful purpose and be a waste of time and
resources. In the

light of the above, it is clear that the appellant has already been granted
interim injunctive

relief in wide terms in the last application but is still insisting on
proceeding with the first

application wherein it is in effect applying for the same remedy. There is
no raison d??tre


3

for the first application and hence for this appeal. It is a matter of
regret that, with regard

to their duty towards the Court, the legal advisers did not deem it fit to
apprise us of the

existence and particulars of the last application where the appellant has,
in the meantime,

been granted interim injunctive relief. We must also express our concern at
the number

of successive applications lodged by the appellant against the respondent
praying in

effect for the same remedy. It would seem that the appellant is bent on
having multiple

bites at the cherry.

In these circumstances, contrary to what we were told at the hearing, we
are of

the view that, even if we were to allow the present appeal, it would be
academic and

serve no practical purpose. In this context, it is apposite to the
following dictum in

McNaughton v McNaughton?s Trs. (1953) SC 387, quoted with approval in
Planche v

The PSC [1993 SCJ 128]:-

?Our courts have consistently acted on the view that it is their function
in

the ordinary run of contentious litigation to decide only live, practical

questions, and that they have no concern with hypothetical, premature or

academic questions, nor do they exist to advise litigants as to the policy

which they should adopt in the ordering of their affairs. The courts are

neither a debating club nor an advisory bureau.?

We wish to add that, as far as we have been able to ascertain, no main case
has

been lodged by the appellant so far.

For the above reasons, we are of the view that the pursuance of this appeal
would

constitute an abuse of the process of the Court. This appeal is accordingly
set aside with

costs.

Sylvain -

Indeed - upon review, it is apparent that "the standing of the current injunction is the basis on which the judge ruled that the appeal was effectively moot and therefore dismissed it.? (as stated by Owen).

However, the weakness of such a statement is that it doesn?t convey the full context of the learned judge's ruling - the ?disturbing features? of the entire matter before the court of record, the ?concern at the number of successive applications lodged by the appellant against the respondent praying in effect for the same remedy.", etc.

This is why the other assertion that Owen made (i.e. "the appeal was dismissed _strictly_ (emphasis added) on the grounds that the existing injunction essentially renders the appeal moot.?) is more speculative in nature ? as one cannot know if it was ?strictly? on that basis and/or the extent that these "distributing features? weighed into consideration ? only that the full context of all these applications before the court seeking similar remedy was considered sufficiently relevant by the court to be included in the judgement.

Thanks again for sharing!

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA.

This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd?s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022.

To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal.

No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support.

>> THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS
>> In the matter of:-
>> Cloud Innovation Ltd

>> Respondent
>> -------------
>> JUDGMENT
>> This is an appeal against a judgment of the learned Judge in Chambers

>> grounds of appeal for the reasons set out below.
>> During the hearing, reference was made to 2 other Judge in Chambers

>> the respondent (?the first application?). In the judgment delivered 
>> on 7 July 2021, the
>> learned Judge in Chambers upheld a preliminary objection raised by 
>> the respondent and
>> set aside the first application with costs, hence the present appeal.
>>
>> 2
>> Subsequently, Court records reveal that the same appellant lodged a 
>> series of
>> applications before different Judges sitting in Chambers on 12 July, 
>> 13 July,
>> 3 September, 6 September, 26 November, 1 December and 3 December 
>> 2021. The
>> particulars of these applications and of the first application have 
>> been set out in tabular
>> form in an annex to this judgment (Annex A).
>> From a reading of all these applications, it is patently clear that 
>> the appellant was
>> in effect praying for the same remedy in all of them, namely to 
>> restrain and prohibit the
>> respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a 
>> resource member of
>> the respondent. All the applications have been set aside except for 
>> the ones lodged on
>> 6 September 2021 and 3 December 2021.
>> For the purposes of this appeal, the application lodged on 3 December 
>> 2021 (?the
>> last application?) is of particular interest. In this application, 
>> the learned Judge in
>> Chambers granted, ex parte, an interim order in the following terms:-
>> ??. let an interim order in the nature of an injunction issue, 
>> restraining and
>> prohibiting the respondent, either by itself, its agent, 
>> representatives or
>> pr?pos? from:
>> (i) acting in any manner whatsoever on or giving effect to its Board
>> Resolution of the 8th July 2021 or any similar Board resolution or its
>> letter of the 1st December 2021 or any other similar letter, in any

>> (ii) acting on or giving effect to its decision, in any manner 
>> whatsoever,
>> which has the effect of breaching the Undertaking of the
>> 15th July 2021 in application bearing Serial No. 1040/2021.?
>> The matter has now been made returnable to show cause why the interim

>> Learned Counsel for the appellant has invited us to quash the

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA.

This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd?s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022.

To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal.

No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support.


Kind Regards,

Cloud Innovation Ltd en date du 10 mars 2021 conform?ment aux dispositions du Registration Service Agreement (RSA), dans lequel l'AFRINIC soutenait que Cloud Innovation Ltd ?tait, et continue d'?tre, en infraction avec le RSA.

Cet appel d?coule de la demande d'injonction provisoire de Cloud Innovation Ltd, qui a ?t? initialement accord?e en sa faveur le 29 mars 2021, mais ensuite annul?e par l'honorable juge en chambre le 7 juillet 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd a fait appel de ce jugement, et l'audience a eu lieu le 27 janvier 2022.

En bref, la division d'appel de la Cour supr?me de Maurice a, apr?s avoir examin? les arguments des deux parties, rejet? l'appel. En d'autres termes, AFRINIC a gagn? cet appel.

Il s'agit sans aucun doute d'une ?tape essentielle pour l'AFRINIC, et nous souhaitons remercier l'?quipe et nos parties prenantes pour leur soutien continu.

Caros Colegas,

Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco a decis?o proferida ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.
https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

Este caso foi arquivado em resposta a uma carta que a AFRINIC enviou ? Cloud Innovation Ltd com data de 10 de Mar?o de 2021, em conformidade com as disposi??es do Acordo de Servi?o de Registo (RSA) em que a AFRINIC alegava que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em viola??o da RSA.

Este recurso decorre do pedido de injun??o provis?ria da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Mar?o de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Merit?ssimo Juiz das C?maras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa senten?a, e a audi?ncia teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022.

Para simplificar, a Divis?o de Apela??o do Supremo Tribunal das Maur?cias, ap?s ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou este recurso.

Sem d?vida, este ? um marco essencial para a AFRINIC, e gostar?amos de agradecer ? equipa e ?s nossas partes interessadas o seu apoio continuado.

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.?https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf?

This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA.

This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd?s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022.

To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal.

No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support.?

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Update on the complaint lodged against AFRINIC
 at the Competition Commission of Mauritius
Message-ID: <3AFE716E-2563-4BBE-A66D-6450C82F3CC5@afrinic.net>

Dear Colleagues,

An anonymous complaint was lodged against AFRINIC in September 2021 at the Competition Commission of Mauritius ("CCM") pertaining to alleged anti-competitive conduct on the part of AFRINIC with respect to the transfer of resources. 

The CCM had found no such restrictive business practice on the part of AFRINIC within the meaning of the Competition Act 2007; and the inquiry has been closed with no further action. This was documented in their letter dated 22 December 2021, Unfortunately however, we cannot publicly share the CCM?s letter.  

As a community driven membership based organisation, there are committees, working groups and processes set in place to address any issues that might need to be addressed. 

We shall continue to collaborate with all institutions, government or otherwise, and continue to deliver on our functions as responsible Regional Internet Registry.

 
Kind Regards,

Chers coll?gues,

Une plainte anonyme a ?t? d?pos?e contre AFRINIC en septembre 2021 aupr?s de la Competition Commission of Mauritius ("CCM") concernant un comportement anticoncurrentiel pr?sum? de la part d'AFRINIC en mati?re de transfert de ressources.

La CCM n'a trouv? aucune pratique commerciale restrictive de la part d'AFRINIC au sens de la loi sur la concurrence de 2007, et l'enqu?te a ?t? class?e sans suite. Ceci a ?t? document? dans leur lettre dat?e du 22 d?cembre 2021, mais nous ne pouvons malheureusement pas partager publiquement la lettre de la CCM.  

En tant qu'organisation bas?e sur l'adh?sion et dirig?e par la communaut?, des comit?s, des groupes de travail et des processus ont ?t? mis en place pour r?pondre ? toutes les questions qui pourraient ?tre abord?es.

Nous continuerons ? collaborer avec toutes les institutions, gouvernementales ou autres, et ? remplir nos fonctions de Registre Internet r?gional responsable.

Caros Colegas,

Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco o julgamento mais esperado e favor?vel para a AFRINIC proferido ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.
https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

Recordar? que este recurso decorre do pedido de injun??o provis?ria da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Mar?o de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Merit?ssimo Juiz das C?maras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa senten?a e a audi?ncia teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022.

Simplificando, a Divis?o de Apela??o do Supremo Tribunal das Maur?cias, ap?s ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou o recurso.

Para vossa informa??o, ? relevante acrescentar que este caso tinha come?ado na sequ?ncia da nossa carta datada de 10 de Mar?o de 2021 emitida ? Cloud Innovation Ltd, em conformidade com as disposi??es do Acordo de Servi?o de Registo (RSA) segundo o qual a AFRINIC alegou que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em viola??o do RSA.

Sem d?vida, este ? um marco importante para a AFRINIC e gostar?amos de agradecer ? equipa e ?s nossas partes interessadas pelo seu apoio continuado.  

Por outro lado, aproveito tamb?m esta oportunidade para informar que na sequ?ncia de uma queixa an?nima apresentada contra a AFRINIC em Setembro de 2021 na Comiss?o da Concorr?ncia das Maur?cias ("CCM") relativa a uma alegada conduta anticoncorrencial por parte da AFRINIC no que diz respeito ? transfer?ncia de recursos, pode observar que a CCM, por carta datada de 22 de Dezembro de 2021, n?o tinha encontrado tal pr?tica comercial restritiva por parte da AFRINIC na acep??o da Lei da Concorr?ncia de 2007; e que o inqu?rito foi assim encerrado sem qualquer outra ac??o.

Seja como for, continuaremos a colaborar com todas as institui??es, governo ou n?o, e continuaremos a cumprir as nossas fun??es como Registo Regional da Internet respons?vel.

Por raz?es ?bvias de confidencialidade, n?o podemos partilhar uma c?pia da carta do CCM. Contudo, ? tamb?m lament?vel observar que, em vez de levantar e abordar certas quest?es perante o f?rum apropriado da AFRINIC, alguns consideram aceit?vel recorrer a queixas an?nimas contra a AFRINIC, apesar desta ?ltima ser uma organiza??o baseada em membros.

    Chers coll?gues,

    Une plainte anonyme a ?t? d?pos?e contre AFRINIC en septembre 2021 aupr?s de la Competition Commission of Mauritius ("CCM") concernant un comportement anticoncurrentiel pr?sum? de la part d'AFRINIC en mati?re de transfert de ressources.

    La CCM n'a trouv? aucune pratique commerciale restrictive de la part d'AFRINIC au sens de la loi sur la concurrence de 2007, et l'enqu?te a ?t? class?e sans suite. Ceci a ?t? document? dans leur lettre dat?e du 22 d?cembre 2021, mais nous ne pouvons malheureusement pas partager publiquement la lettre de la CCM.  

    En tant qu'organisation bas?e sur l'adh?sion et dirig?e par la communaut?, des comit?s, des groupes de travail et des processus ont ?t? mis en place pour r?pondre ? toutes les questions qui pourraient ?tre abord?es.

    Nous continuerons ? collaborer avec toutes les institutions, gouvernementales ou autres, et ? remplir nos fonctions de Registre Internet r?gional responsable.

    Caros Colegas,

    Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco o julgamento mais esperado e favor?vel para a AFRINIC proferido ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd.
    https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf

    Recordar? que este recurso decorre do pedido de injun??o provis?ria da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Mar?o de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Merit?ssimo Juiz das C?maras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa senten?a e a audi?ncia teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022.

    Simplificando, a Divis?o de Apela??o do Supremo Tribunal das Maur?cias, ap?s ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou o recurso.

    Para vossa informa??o, ? relevante acrescentar que este caso tinha come?ado na sequ?ncia da nossa carta datada de 10 de Mar?o de 2021 emitida ? Cloud Innovation Ltd, em conformidade com as disposi??es do Acordo de Servi?o de Registo (RSA) segundo o qual a AFRINIC alegou que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em viola??o do RSA.

    Sem d?vida, este ? um marco importante para a AFRINIC e gostar?amos de agradecer ? equipa e ?s nossas partes interessadas pelo seu apoio continuado.  

    Por outro lado, aproveito tamb?m esta oportunidade para informar que na sequ?ncia de uma queixa an?nima apresentada contra a AFRINIC em Setembro de 2021 na Comiss?o da Concorr?ncia das Maur?cias ("CCM") relativa a uma alegada conduta anticoncorrencial por parte da AFRINIC no que diz respeito ? transfer?ncia de recursos, pode observar que a CCM, por carta datada de 22 de Dezembro de 2021, n?o tinha encontrado tal pr?tica comercial restritiva por parte da AFRINIC na acep??o da Lei da Concorr?ncia de 2007; e que o inqu?rito foi assim encerrado sem qualquer outra ac??o.

    Seja como for, continuaremos a colaborar com todas as institui??es, governo ou n?o, e continuaremos a cumprir as nossas fun??es como Registo Regional da Internet respons?vel.

    Por raz?es ?bvias de confidencialidade, n?o podemos partilhar uma c?pia da carta do CCM. Contudo, ? tamb?m lament?vel observar que, em vez de levantar e abordar certas quest?es perante o f?rum apropriado da AFRINIC, alguns consideram aceit?vel recorrer a queixas an?nimas contra a AFRINIC, apesar desta ?ltima ser uma organiza??o baseada em membros.



    Cumprimentos,

Thanks Eddy

There have been some interesting discussions on various lists regarding this issue.

To the extent that AFRINIC can share any of its submissions to the CCM [which were obviously persuasive], this will be appreciated and could close off any future discussion.

Regards

Mike

Excellent news Eddy and Afrinic team. 

Despite Owen?s comments trying to diminish the value of this win, this is undoubtedly, a great step forward. 

Congrats.

I fail to understand how is possible, that a resolution from a public Competition Commission is not public, even redacting personal data if needed. In normal democratic countries, as I know, all those cases are published in their web site.

AFRINIC legal staff must take care of that.

    Thanks Eddy

    There have been some interesting discussions on various lists regarding this issue.

    To the extent that AFRINIC can share any of its submissions to the CCM [which were obviously persuasive], this will be appreciated and could close off any future discussion.

Dear Eddy,

I believe it will in the interest of the community to share the letter
with any personal data redacted and also share the submissions of
AFRINIC to the CCM.

Is there any other reason apart from protecting personal data for
AFRINIC not to share the letter publicly?

Regards,

I guess we should keep an eye on:
 https://competitioncommission.mu/investigation/?status=completed

But I believe if the complaint was "confidential", it will not make its way
to the register.

Thanks Amreesh

I am guessing AFRINIC can waive confidentiality on its own submission - but
cannot force the complainant or Commission to waive confidentiality.

Hence my request to the CEO for AFRINIC to consider publishing its own
submission, without any further demand :-)

I?m not sure I was clear.

 

I understand that there may be confidential details from any of the parties, but not the overall claim and the overall decision.

 

It will be very strange, at least in democratic countries (I can understand that in dictatorial regimes, obviously), that such kind of claims are confidential or even the resolution, etc. Transparency is a must in democracy.

 

I don?t think it is good to have a RIR in a country where public authorities keep such kind of information confidential. It is extremely risky for the RIR.

 

For example, in the EU, all the complains for monopoly, GDPR, court decisions ? (just to name a few), which affect either citizens or organizations are made public and if any personal data is in those documents, it is just redacted, but only the personal info ? anything else is published openly.

And to add that, In fact AFRINIC is by extension a public institution by
means of the resource members who operate through the mandate of the public
across jurisdictions in which AFRINIC serves.

If an entity is going to complain anonymously that is their business but
this info ought to be public.

Hi Jordi

I also find it unusual - but I am not sure either you or I are in a position to opine.

Amreesh gave a perfectly reasoned explanation of what *might* be the case and I am not sure that arguing the issue changes anything.

Maybe you can go argue the issue with the Mauritian Competition Authorities ?. or try propose AFRINIC moves to a different jurisdiction and see how far you get.

Out of interest, in South Africa a competition complaint would not be public at the initial phases either and if the Authorities found that there was no basis for the complaint, they may publish a one line finding. However if either party claimed confidentiality - they would not even publish a finding.

So this is not particularly unusual in an African context and I am not sure I agree with your suggestion that in Europe all complaints are public. The only complaints that I am aware of that are public are those initiated by the competition authorities themselves and not those based on competitor or third party complaints. 

Still, I appreciate the lecture on how democracy should work.

Democracy = Transparency

In this specific case, a monopoly accusation has nothing to be hidden. I fully agree with retracting personal data, but NOTHING ELSE.

Congrats :-)

Btw I noticed there's another interesting case AFRICA ON CLOUD (PTY) LTD vs
AFRINIC (SC/COM/PET/000769/2021).
Can anyone from Africa On Cloud explain why they wanted to wind up AFRINIC
under the Insolvency Act?

The Iron of that case is that someone from the very said organization
attempted in recent times to become a board director of the very AFRINIC
for which they seek winding up.

Hi Jordi,

What does democracy have to do with this? each country has its rules and as
others said, AFRINIC and its lawyers should look for ways of disclosing
their submission on this case.

I do think Mauritius is more democratic than many countries on the
continent where you live? they just have some practices all may  not like.

Hi Dewole,

Is there any reason  to not celebrate?
Why do we look for lices in people?s hair when  there was no need for it?

I am sure when what you asked for will happen, CEO will make another
announcement and Whois will tell?

I think it would be more accurate to say that a functional democracy requires transparency.

Hence, since AFRINIC board insists on limiting transparancy, we have an inherently dysfunctional democracy here.

We have long experience with this type of dysfunction in the US, so I know it when I see it.

Owen,

I think you have a problem and you are against the existence of AFRINIC.

Democracy is different from Open communication to the community.

AFRINIC is a membership driven organisation and it's an obligation for the
community to get reports on what transpired in the courts which have thus
been communicated respectively.

I think it hurts you that AFRINIC has achieved these milestones and is
protecting Africa's resources.

Let's gives a thumbs up for the legal team and management of AFRINIC.

 congratulations to the team.

Daniel KN

Hi Arnaud,

 

As explained, in my opinion, the basis of the democracy is transparency. You can?t trust a country being democratic if there is no transparency.

 

We probably agree that after that trasparency, there are many other steps to build democracy, and that?s the reason why there are many ways to score the ?democracy level? of different countries. My own country, Spain, is not in the best position and I countinuously fight in courts with the government and many instituions whenever I see anything is broken.

 

But if the basis (transparency) is not there in something so simple as a monopoly accusation ? we have a problem and with that, what I?m calling is the legal AFRINIC staff to consider making a call to the government to change that, or otherwise, consider if there are other African countries that will better satisfy the democracy levels that AFRINIC needs.

Hi Jordi,

 

What does democracy have to do with this? each country has its rules and as others said, AFRINIC and its lawyers should look for ways of disclosing their submission on this case.

 

I do think Mauritius is more democratic than many countries on the continent where you live? they just have some practices all may  not like.

I fail to understand how is possible, that a resolution from a public Competition Commission is not public, even redacting personal data if needed. In normal democratic countries, as I know, all those cases are published in their web site.

AFRINIC legal staff must take care of that.

    Thanks Eddy

    There have been some interesting discussions on various lists regarding this issue.

    To the extent that AFRINIC can share any of its submissions to the CCM [which were obviously persuasive], this will be appreciated and could close off any future discussion.

    Regards

Jordi,

Perhaps how about you stop confusing transparency with democracy.

Subject: [Community-Discuss] Competition Commission Complaint - some more
	light
Message-ID: <CAF4kYps62_fmNfCY55MJw2fHxsiU+GNbS_kRRaY3NCXU95+PDQ@mail.gmail.com>

There was some discussion about two weeks ago

I wrote to the Commission, as anybody else could have, as the idea that
further information was not available seemed peculiar.

"I cannot find any indication on the site of a complaint having been
resolved or anything else concerning Afrinic at all and there is discussion
amongst members (I represent a member). There appears to be an effort to
infer reasons onto the commission that simply aren't given. My own view is
that there aren't competition law issues in Mauritius AT THIS TIME but that
there is a very fact specific analysis required.


If the commission could shed any light publicly this would be of great
benefit to the African Internet Community."


I've received the following reply - which in context (in light of what I
wrote to them) is not confidential:

Reference is made to the communication received below on 19th February,
2022 regarding the alleged conduct on the part of AFRINIC with respect to

You may wish to note that following a complaint made on 29th July 2021 to
the Competition Commission (CC), the Executive Director of the CC initiated
an enquiry pursuant to the rule 5 (1)(c) of the Competition Commission
Rules of Procedure 2009.  The purpose of the enquiry was to determine
whether there were reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged conduct
on the part of AFRINIC in respect of the allocation of IP addresses could
give rise to potential competition concerns, reviewable under Part III of
the Competition Act 2007 (?the Competition Act?).   Part III of the
Competition Act covers anti-competitive practices which can broadly be
grouped into collusive and other restrictive agreements; abuse of monopoly
situation; and merger that can substantially lessen competition.



Based on the information gathered and the assessment undertaken in the
context of the enquiry, the Executive Director of the CC came to the
conclusion that there were no reasonable grounds to believe that a
restrictive business practice within the meaning of the Competition
Act was occurring
or likely to occur.  As such, the matter has been closed with no further
action.



Please be advised that the decisions of the Competition Commission in
relation to investigations are made public.  This is not the case for an
enquiry, which is aimed at establishing reasonable grounds for the launch
of an investigation.


>From this it's Part III which is relevant. My reading of Part III is that
it doesn't apply unless AfriNIC is an enterprise. Now AfriNIC is not
allowed to be an enterprise in accordance with its charter as it may not
"engage in commercial activities for gain or reward" (the definition in the
Act). My view (which I am pretty sure I've stated, and seen misquoted) is
that IF AfriNIC were to depart from its non-profit and member's interest
character that a heap of problems would arise including competition
concerns. What is clear - and gives me great comfort as to the authorities
in Mauritius - is that a complaint was received on the 29th July 2021, this
complaint was properly considered and the Act was applied. Several months
(sufficient time not to be rushed but not a period of time that entails
dragging of feet or the like) went by and together with various similar
enquiries a proper determination that accords with the law was made. The
outcome is by no means a secret, but as generally is the case with a
preliminary enquiry conducted to ascertain if the predicates for a full
investigation are present the authority doesn't make a public statement.
This in my view accords with best practice as does giving a reply in this
form when asked about an enquiry.
The guidance I'd draw from this is that if AfriNIC follows its own rules
and does not operate illicitly as an enterprise there isn't going to be a
competition law issue, but that Mauritius law - including competition law -
is a very good set of guardrails on the organization.
