the dues-paying members of AFRINIC who have a clear right to see it?</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So perhaps you missed emails from the CEO but in his recent email to members and the community he indicated that AfriNIC inlight of your revelations has continued to work on its whois database accuracy, an exercise once completed would ensure some of the issues you have raised are resolved with measures in place to counter any future reoccurrence.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Also in terms of the apparent Cohen lawsuit there was an update from the CEO about an interim injunction which was still pending before the Supreme Court in Mauritius.

It's your RiR and your choice. The members can just continue to turn a<br>
blind eye to all of this, but you cannot now do so without without knowing,<br>
for certain, that MANY facts and answers are being deliberately hidden.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We anticipate that this will not be the case as we expect the board and management to eventually provide a final update on this issues.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">PS: Dont mistake the silence from the community as an indication for condoning this mess.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Noah</div></div>
