[AFRINIC Communication]

Dear Paul, 

Without commenting on the veracity of your source of information, we can confirm that 2 sitting directors and 2 ex-directors appeared before the Supreme Court on 25th July 2022 in respect of one of the three contempt cases. 

In line with the transparency policy and standard practice, the finance report will provide related costs for the aforesaid court appearance. Presently, as you are aware, the board has no quorum as such, publication of any finance-related report will be delayed as all financial-related reports are; prior to publication, reviewed by the Finance Committee, the latter being a sub-committee of the board. 

We, therefore, count on your patience until the publication of the finance report.
