<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Sunday,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Firstly, thank you for agreeing to the investigation – we will await regular progress reports.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Secondly – to say that the board was unware of the fact that I was referring to competitions issues – is disingenuous in my view.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">I point to an email on the 12/07/2017 sent to the RPD list – which clearly and demonstrably makes reference to the competitions act – and to which I got replies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">The questions I asked are extremely easy to correlate between that email and the email asking the formal questions – Let me quote from aspects of that email:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span lang="EN-US"><o:p><span style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>It is fact that the prices per annum paid to AfriNIC by larger members are multiple times higher than what they are in certain other registries (there is a price differential of
in excess of 20 times between AFRINIC and another registry in certain categories)<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>The lack of a bi-directional cross-regional transfer policy puts AfriNIC at direct risk of being in potential violation of the competitions act of 2007 – since AFRINIC is in effect
forcing its members to remain using it – and paying the prices which they insist on and which the members have no control over<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>The fact that other RIR’s DO permit members from other regions to inbound transfer space means that there is choice – and the members of AFRINIC are being held to ransom through
the lack of a transfer policy<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>The argument that the PDP has not granted a transfer policy does not grant the company, or the board, immunity from acting within the bounds of the law in the area in which it is
domiciled.<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>The board – as the effective “owners” of the company – have the power implement a transfer policy – because irrespective of what the bylaws say – as the sole members of the legal
entity that is AFRINIC and as directors – the power DOES reside with them.<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6"><b><i><u>The implementation of any policy that could result in the revocation of resources while AFRINIC is continuing to act as a de-facto monopoly that is already possibly in direct violation
of the competitions act would be shear insanity, since it FORCE entities into a position where they either spend a TON of money complying with audits which may or may not be justified – or lose those resources – with no ability to transfer the hell out.<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p><span style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u>Basically – what I am saying is – while the competitions aspects have never been tested in a court – and actually in Mauritius – never need to be tested in a manner that costs anything or involves lawyers - because of the way
their competitions tribunal works that aspect, when combined with this policy, create a perfect storm that I honestly believe would destroy afrinic.<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear Mr Alston,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I have been on the road between Abuja and Lagos, rallying support from the Nigerian Government for the hosting of the upcoming
AFRINIC Meeting in November, without access to the Internet.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On a question: We previously understood that you wanted an investigation into whether or not the lack of a bi-directional inter-RIR transfer policy had any implications considering the Companies
Act. We replied that we could see no issues with the absence of a policy, and we could not answer for the implications of any hypothetical policy. So I don't think it's appropriate to say we refused to act since you've just now clarified that you meant the
Competition Act, not the Companies Act. We hope you will help the Board maximize the use of her time in future.<br>
<br>
Having said that, the Board will commission an investigation into the implications of the lack of a bi-directional inter-RIR transfer policy, with respect to the Competition Act. We expect the work to start by 20 October 2017 (2 weeks from now). We do not know
how long the investigation will take.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Dear Board, Sunday,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">I had some hope this board was slightly more… committed than this?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">I kind of fear what is going to happen to the audit report next year, and the other reports we’re supposed to get from this board. Twice committed – publicly – twice failed to deliver on the commitments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">I now call this board in direct violation of section 3.4.ii – since committing to communication by not delivering it is certainly not inductive to open and transparent communication. I also now call this
board in direct violation of section 3.4.vii – which states that this board must disseminate among its members information on all matters affecting the Company and its members, and to provide a central channel of communication for the members.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Now – you can find many semantic reasons for not fulfilling your commitments to this community – and I am sure they will come – excuses and all the rest of it – and I’m pretty sure I could find relevant sections
of the companies act – particularly about directors acting in good faith – but then at some point – the whole “that applies to shareholders, hence registered members” argument would most likely appear – been down that road before as well.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Here is a suggestion to this board – if you don’t have the time and effort to fulfil the commitments YOU made in the time frames YOU made them – maybe it’s time to cancel ALL board travel – so instead of wasting
this communities money on flying around the world for a week or two per board member – you have the time to fulfil your responsibilities as a board?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">It is a disgrace that a board elected by this community – a board that lobbied on platforms of transparency, of openness, of promoting the bottom up approach, would sit and promise answers to this community
and then miss the deadlines they themselves set, not once, but twice.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">If you don’t have time to do the job – why did you put your name forward – get elected – and take the job.
