<div class="">You went with an ex parte request and AFRINIC also went ex parte request to which the Judge declined to grant and instead asked CI, your principals, to prove why to not grant AFRINIC request.</div>

Despite this fact, you still managed to get it wrong, so obviously, there is confusion</div><div>in the community based on Eddy’s failure to disclose the entire truth of the matter to the community.

<div class="">Can we let the court case play out ?</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Sure… It will. I’m not doing anything to interfere with it. I merely provided some details which the AFRINIC CEO chose not</div><div>to share with the community and a copy of the actual court order to back up those details.</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="auto" class=""><div class="">

<div class="">Your obsession to deal with the "vaporware" is known and like you were proven wrong that AFRINIC wasn't one, we are yet to see the result of this new attempt.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>You continue to focus on this. At the time I made the statement, AFRINIC was still vaporware. Despite your claims, I am glad to see that AFRINIC came to</div><div>fruition and my true desire here is to see it become a reputable RIR operating within the mandate of its governing documents in an open and transparent</div><div>manner with an accountable board and staff where the community and members can once again trust in those governing bodies.</div><div><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="auto" class="">
