<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Let me add a further comment to what I wrote below,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It is not the fact that I distrust the boards report – it is the fact that the members of this community have absolutely no way to verify what is in the board’s report. An independent report is
exactly that – entirely independent – without interference or modification.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It is quite clear that a report that was written by the board does not meet the criteria for independent investigation as was demanded by the community, and if the board was in fact prepared to honor
the bottom up approach that afrinic agreed to when they became signatories to the ICP-2 – they would have honoured the demand for an independent investigation and seen it through to its fulfilment. Instead – they have chosen to play lip service to the nature
of independent investigations and then attempt to convince this community that a report they themselves wrote was independent because it was (if they claims are accurate) BASED on an independent report.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">At this point – we do not even know who was hired to conduct the report – we know that the GC had an investigative team do the investigation – but who was it? Were they free of interference? Did
the board cooperate with the the investigation? Did the board impede the investigation thereby influencing the report? We simply cannot answer any of that without a copy of the report – which may well absolve the board of any wrong doing – but it is laughable
to expect this community to accept what has been provided – because if the community had that kind of faith in this board – the demand for the investigation would never have occurred in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Please – at this point I have to ask – why did the board not just make up its mind and write its statement without the independent investigation – because they may as well have. If the board cannot
see the blatant conflict of interest in what they are doing, and the TOTAL failing of corporate governance here then quite frankly, they do not deserve to hold their positions at all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">By not publishing the report itself – you remove ANY and ALL independence from the report as was demanded by this community and as was promised by this board – and I, as a member, am nothing short
of insulted by the fact that this board could consider this community so stupid as to be willing to accept this absolute farce.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
